A super-sized bird in Alaska (done - nine years later)

im sorry, but one of those birds has a 6 or 7 foot wingspan, and the other 3 are well known fakes, debunked here many times.

Maybe its a wayward Giant Condor. Condor's have a huge wingspan. Much larger then an Eagle.

This is jst what I was thinking about.

I saw a special about this on PBS a while back

I guess my local ABC affiliate must be stupid too because they reported on the local news here.

Outsized' animals are not uncommon it could be such a creature. There is also the tearing of the so-called realm curtain which may let through all sorts of strange beasts like the chupa for example.

Yes,I believe that some of these creatures can shift in and out through portals from one dimension into another.That is why BigFoot/Yeti,Loch Ness,and the like are basically able to vanish.There's a ranch in Utah that is said to house one of these portals,and it has been reporting all sorts of bizarre creatures for years that materialize and then vanish.

^ I heard about that place. People even reported seeing Velicoraptors in the dark, and all sorts of weird things.

I remember being really impressed by this picture, but alas, it was a hoax...well debunked and researched... I think skepdic.com has a good story on it...under the Thunderbird entry.....

aha! I knew I saw this on PBS

It was in 2002 if you look and its a load of rubbish!

There have been legends throughout history about giant birds/dragons from ancient China, Europe, and America. Many societies/cultures seem to believe that these creatures exist as fact. In my experience, legends are usually grounded in facts. Alaska/Siberia are pretty wild places, discovering a new species (or a very old one) isn't impossible-in fact it happens more often than you think.

Here's an example....

why would you guys doubt something like this really happening i know youre all down for those bus size catfish. i mean i think this is something of the mere future, you know, beast returning to their original sizes.

could it be this

this bird was found in the 1940s in canada and is said to be one of three that was sighted at the time by fishermen.

Could be one of the birds they used in the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King movie. Remember those huge eagles? A bird of this size could easily make a trip from Alaska to New Zealand. Does anyone know what happened to those birds after they filmed the movie? Have they let them out or maybe given to a zoo or something?

i was thinking that, wingspan of up to 11.5 feet but could be bigger.. the only problem is they are very easy to identify and i doubt from all the reported sightings that at least one person didnt recognise it as an albatross.

Last reply seven years ago..

As for that picture of the thunderbird, is fake. You should check this thread.

ahhh. your kidding ..right?!?

My money is that this thing was a Steller's Sea Eagle. They can have a wingspan of up to three meters, and live in northeastern Asia.

Josh Gates w/ Destination Truth could go and investigate to see what it is...
