My friends and I called it electrocuted owl, since it looked like a skeleton silhouette of an owl being struck by lightning. Although I never saw it in person - just in archives etc.

Because I call it that.

Not that I can recall the specifics, but it is probably related to three things:
1) the F-86 Sabre, America's first swept-wing jet fighter
2) it just looks fast
3) an unused MOB halftime show about "SabreDucks" that was passed over for being too silly, in the mid/late '70s. (Brian Johnson was the lead author. He was a tuba player, in WRC, and was half of the champion foosball team of the same era.)

Never heard the "War Owl" name before this thread.
Electrocuted I can see, but SabreOwl just flows better.
