The mysterious thunderbird photo, everyone's seen it but nobody can find it. I personally remember seeing it in a book about Dinosaurs when I was in elementry school. It facinated me. Probbably the first supposed cryptid I'd ever laid eyes on. Anyways, I've drawn this picture of what I remember seeing. Let me know if this rings any bells.
The second one is just after I dressed it up a bit in photoshop to show more shading...

huh, i messed up on the poll... *shrugs*

I'm guessing you mean this image?

Absolutely not. The picture I remember seeing was an enormus eagle nailed to the inside of a barn wall with six men in western garb standing in front of it fingertip to fingertip to show the width of the wingspan.

BTW thanks for fixing the poll ;;

I do vaguely remember that image actually. The several men infront of it ring a bell. I'll have another look.

The image you're referring to was not an eagle, but supposedly a Pteranodon. John Keel wrote about how this photo mysteriously disappeared. Several fakes have made the rounds on the net, but the original remains lost.

Shot during the civil war was the claim wasn't it?

Here's another example of the hoaxed photos.

[Solofront]

it looks like a pelican to me, i could be wrong though, its proportions look right, and pelicans grow to upto 7ft from wingtip to wingtip
plus those folks in the pic look like hobbits to me   so it could be a pelican
dont know for sure though

[Solofront]

oh wow, that looks strikingly simalir to a pteradon, look at the back of its head, it has the long creasant shape...cool

it also looks feather less, and even more so, since its bones are prominent

[OtterLord]

Look everyone!!! its the thunderbird!!!!!

I like your drawing style. Sadly, this is the first time I've heard of this photo.

[haunted_andrew]

*sighs* maybe one of these days I'll head back to my old elementary school and try to find it again...
