The thunderbird is a creature that once existed,and many say it still does...


Info - Origin is the usa.

Once again great pics.

The giant butterfly pic in the gallerey could be the thunderbird at a distance, or just a butterfly very close to the camera.
Canadian Rottweiler
Ok,thanx happy.gif
Walken
Don't mention it. A couple of these pics look fake, but overall, great finds.
Canadian Rottweiler
Yea,ok
Mad Manfred
1, 3 and 4 are fakes....FAAAAAAAAKESS!!! tongue.gif

Cool pics nonetheless thumbsup.gif
Canadian Rottweiler
In my opinion,1 and 3 look fake, 2 and 4 are questionable,and 5 and 6 are very convincing...
Walken
5 is definatley the most beleiveable. Has anyone got any background on it?
Mysteryman
I believe the first one was debunked as hoax.

The second one, a farmer claims to have seen a deat pterosaur on his property, most likely hoax.

The third one was already proved hoax.

The fourth is a giant stork and claimed to have been a thunderbird.

The fifth is an eagle (not sure which type).

The sixth is real. A man found the skeleton and put it together.



Walken
Who took it, for example?
Mysteryman
Don't understand?

None have been PROVEN to be fake,just many against it.Fourth could be a thunderbird,Fifth is larger than a eagle,and yes,the sixth is the most believable...

Great pics, the thunder bird is by far my favrite of all the other unexplained creatures, it right up there with the giant squid. I hope I get a sighting of one before I die.
Canadian Rottweiler
Thanx,i think it's awesome too,just keep your eye out and ya never know...
Walken
Has anyone got any background information on all the dead ones?

number 5 seems bigger than it really is... hmm.gif
i heard no6 woz debunked, is this true dontgetit.gif
Walken
I don't know. Your right. We're not given much for scale in munber five.
Dezmond
number 5 seems like an eagle, you don't have any surroundings so you can't say it is bigger than an eagle, because you have nothing to compare it with in the picture.

To bad there is no further info on this pics. Would love to have some.
Walken
CR might have some. We just have to hope he replys. blink.gif

I think that #5 pic was cropped,i remember it look a while to find,but i will try to find it tonight for sure.

I happened to come across the fifth picture on a geocities website. They don't say anything about it other than they seem to hint at it being a turkey vulture. To me, the fifth one seems to be the most convincing, although it might just be a perspective issue as said. Wasn't one of the monotone pictures used for something called "Freaky Links"? Am I thinking of something else?

Also, while on the topic.. there was a couple of pictures posted on Art Bell's website two or three years back when he had complete control over his site and all. The pictures showed what seemed to be a massive bird caught in one of the engine turbines in a smaller passenger plane. Does anyone know anything on those? I doubt the pictures could be found now, but if anyone knows if they were faked, I'd love to know a conclusion on them. After seeing the pictures, I never heard another word. If I remember right, it showed the birds leg hanging out of the turbine. It would have been quite large.

Ok, everyone do me a huge favor. I am going to prove to all of you before your eyes pictures 1 and 3 are hoaxed.

After reading this, I want you to scroll at pictures 1 and 3 and see for yourselves.

Look at the mens positions and where they are standing. Your going to have to enlarge the pictures to see it. Both men in both pictures standing all the way to the left, look how they are holding the gun... almost the same position, but same uniform, same gun.
The man in the front, the leader. Look how is right leg is positioned on top of the bird. The legs are in the same positions - same uniforms, same position.
The man all the way to the right is actually exactly identical. Same positioning, same gun, same gunposition, same uniform, same direction of white bands on their uniform.
Just take another quick look. Don't they resemble...

I thought the natives to the Canadian Praries also saw them. I saw a thunderbird design done by the Canadian Prarie's natives.
Mysteryman
Actually found some information based on Canadian thunderbird sightings...

Giant prehistoric Teratorn Condores, Argentavis maximus, may in fact be the origins of the Thunderbirds of the North American Plains Tribes, most especially the Dakota Sioux. Seasonally, these giant vultures with the wingspan enough to carry off a bison calf or a grown man, were said to precede the intense thunderstorms that generated funnel clouds. Current hypotheses suggest that the winds preceding these storms could assist these birds in flying hundreds if not thousands of miles along their great seasonal migratory routes.
Walken
Intrest-ering.

Mysteryman
No problem.
Canadian Rottweiler

I noticed that stuff,but still,there are some differences.Could be the same location more than one were shot,by the same people maybe,that would explain it.So really,you haven'r proved it fake.
Mysteryman
But also look at the time differences between the two pictures. One looks extremely ancient and one just looks ancient, lol.
