I have a friend who as a young girl saw an impossibly large bird take flight. She is a trustworthy person with no reason to lie. She doesn't really have any other "unusual tales" to tell. This happened in Santa Cruz I guess around the late 80's.

I think there could be some undiscovered species around. It is almost like the scientific community has declared North America "FULLY EXPLORED" and that's that.

I think you may have seen a heron or Egret. We have been having birds around here that never have been here in the past because of the weather changing. There could be mutations occurring also. Any chance that it could be one of those giant South American Bats?

Search around and see if you can find something that resembles this. It could also be something that was thought to be extinct already. Most of those scarey looking creatures were killed off over eighty years ago though and because an accredited person did not verify them they did not officially exist. Real isn't real unless certain people say it is in this world. Some creatures could be relocating out of the Amazon forest also as they log it out.

Is this the same thing as the Lock Ness Monsters supposed to be? I think it could be a dinosaur left over from the stone age maybe got trapped in some ice or rocks. Bigfoot is much cooler tho lol
