  About 20 years ago, I was traveling through Georgia (U.S.) about 55 miles S.W. of Atlanta. I saw something fly over a small church that I thought was a Hang-Glider.  THEN IT FLAPPED ITS WINGS. I sped up to get a better look at it. A Vulture of some sort is what I saw,, but unreasonably big.  It passed by an old communication tower that allowed me to get some measurement of scale. The wing span would have been over 20 feet. It banked to the left and flew over the Chattahoochee river so I had no way to follow.. I'm not sure what it was that I saw, but it was for damn sure real.

  Even back then, the government confiscated photographs denying the public the truth that there are “monsters” out there.  Somewhere in a dusty file are these photographs…

  I was in the Garden of the God&apos;s park in Colorado in 1982 at night with my father,looking through a military infrared telescope he had.<br>I see something way up at high altitude,tell him look at these,looks like bats,,he does,then we started following what we were seeing.<br>It looked like a flock of something like bats,but given the altitude we were seeing them at,they had to be the size of people.<br>Dozens of them reflect the city lights below,but I got a good look at them as I zoomed in on them.<br>They were the most frightening but awesome thing I&apos;ve ever seen.<br>They looked like bats,but their bodies were long,and kinda hominid looking like.<br>I later learned about the Aztec legend of the Comozat bat,they even had a temple for it.<br>They found bones in the temple pool of a giant bats jaw,and part of a wing finger.<br>I think it&apos;s still around,and that&apos;s what we saw that night.<br>They were flying north, too.

  I used to listen to a small country radio station going to and from work, a long drive, sometime in the late 1990’s early 2000’s, the DJ laughingly gave a report about a bush pilot in Alaska who said he was flying along and a ginormous bird came up and flew next to him, said it had a 35-40 foot wingspan. &nbsp;Every so often there were odd reports from the surrounding area too (MN/WI border along the Mississippi. ) I never looked to see if the stories were in the newspaper. Assumed not.

  I&apos;m sure I&apos;ve seen the photo in a beat-up book in the 1980s in a library.

  The Winged Gator 🐊 with skin wings is a Pterodactyl. The Enormous Feathered Blackbird is a Thunderbird. <br>The Thunderbird has been seen at Devil&apos;s Lake/Lake Elizabeth &amp; in Alaska. There is an Old Native Legend about the Thunderbird.

  Anyone check Argosy magazine? It seems like I remember seeing it in there. It would&apos;ve been in the 1960s.

  Check out the A.I.M.S. team hunt for the Snally Ghaster. The Red Indians did see the Thunderbird they were not mistaken. They had several series on the Discovery Channel.

  I owned &nbsp;some Time Life books from the 1980s and &nbsp;I am pretty sure the picture is in the one called &quot;Mysterious Creatures&quot; I just looked &nbsp;on eBay &nbsp;and there arc some for sale. I may get one to see it again. there are other volumes with other &nbsp;esoteric topics

  I saw a dark winged creature at night on my drive home over 10 years ago it was huge. It was dark out but the wings were pitch black so i could see its outline. idk maybe mothman. Wingspan maybe 15 to 20 feet sounds like bullshit but no lie. It didnt scare me though i didnt get a bad feeling like it was evil. Just a cryptid. This sighting was straight outta AZ.
