That is so horribly fake. I don't even think it's done very well.

Man i was born and raised and in Phoenix RIGHT NOW and i have never heard of no Arizona Devil! Now the Phoenix Lights of '97 thats a different story because i saw a UFO zig zag away in a totally different area that night

Looks like a photoshopped image of the pokemon Lugia to me :S
Comment icon #87 Posted by raptros on 6 January, 2008, 3:22
And to all of the people who give reasons why it isn't real... So what? Yes, it may be a fake, but, Who says it needs bigger wings? A larger breast? ITS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL it could have different exclusive features!
Comment icon #86 Posted by heyx on 5 January, 2008, 15:45
I just looks like a bird to me remember aswell some people do edit pictures :/
Comment icon #85 Posted by s.t.u. on 11 December, 2007, 1:56
Isn't there a legend about some type of flying devil being from one of the Virginia States? Seems similar. I can't remember the name of that beast.
Comment icon #84 Posted by secret_squirrel on 28 October, 2007, 7:32
I think it's a cut and paste. Mostly because in the bottom left you can see something weird like something had been launched into the air by a cannon or something. i think there well may have been something in the sky but it was replaced with this fake looking think.
Comment icon #83 Posted by insanepunk22 on 26 October, 2007, 17:16
I wanna fly on its back.
Comment icon #82 Posted by caddoboy77 on 1 October, 2007, 6:42
it looks like someone was taking a picture of the forest fire blowing up and added the ugly oversized bird later.

lmao offamychain you are still one of my favorite commentators on here... keep it up i always get a smile when i read your posts

That's a heck of a forest fire.
Comment icon #79 Posted by evlreala on 21 July, 2007, 7:10
Its a photoshopped cat.
Comment icon #78 Posted by ravenlady13 on 23 June, 2007, 5:37
On the point of the wingspan- the bumblebee (now I know you guys believe in those!), by the laws of physics, cannot fly due to the mass of its body in relation to its wingspan. But yet, it does fly. So don't rely merely on the wingspan- the "laws" of physics are often more like natural guidelines than laws. And laws can be broken, you know.
Comment icon #77 Posted by sea_maid13 on 24 December, 2006, 6:19
It looks cool. I'd like to hang it up in my room. It looks like a native american demon-god or something.
Comment icon #76 Posted by tigersheart on 6 December, 2006, 0:13
this is a photo taken from the university of arizona webcam and is a shot of the fire on Mt. Lemmon, the 'bird' was added later
Comment icon #75 Posted by jumzone on 6 October, 2006, 9:48
Bloody hell I knew I shouldn't have gone day flying.
Comment icon #74 Posted by ziggen on 13 August, 2006, 6:07
fake.. yea. i give it an A for effort though. it looks cool. makes for an interesting hoax
Comment icon #73 Posted by noel28 on 29 June, 2006, 23:57
this pic looks awsome. I hope its real.
Comment icon #72 Posted by mauthe doog on 19 June, 2006, 12:58
omg, its a big guy in a suit hanging from a helicopter! heheheh, funny
Comment icon #71 Posted by cryticman on 27 May, 2006, 19:31
Looks like a cocatrice.. A bird/reptile In mythology..
Comment icon #70 Posted by aghimacrazyduckofdoom on 29 April, 2006, 1:29
Looks like a painting...
Comment icon #69 Posted by felly on 25 March, 2006, 22:53
birds have large chests because of the muscles needed for the downward motion of their wings - that is where they get their lift... but then again demons may be anatomically different...
Comment icon #68 Posted by devilwolf99111 on 20 January, 2006, 22:35
i've lived in AZ more than my anyone else. i havent seen one dang thing like that...im still on the lookout though

strange. i've been to Arizona 5 time and i havent seen it once
Comment icon #63 Posted by sketch21 on 13 December, 2005, 23:51
here's a question i have ... why does all these photos always in poor quality ...
Comment icon #62 Posted by werewolf_child on 10 December, 2005, 3:19
looks like a dragon it's cute.
Comment icon #61 Posted by crymsyn lady on 30 November, 2005, 14:05
Also...looking closer in my graphic program. There is a good chance its could be an eagle or hawk with the jackrabbit population in this area I would not be surprised if its has prey in its talons giving it an elongated look to the body. I do animations and also restore photos for a living and this thing is flying wether by a kite string or on its own I dont beleive its been put into the pic by a graphics program
Comment icon #60 Posted by crymsyn lady on 30 November, 2005, 13:56
I live in Arizona and thats no bird most likely a kite the smoke on the mountain is most likely a wildfire they often have mushroom like clouds above them
Comment icon #59 Posted by megagage on 28 November, 2005, 4:52
So the pterosaurs did survive.
Comment icon #58 Posted by nessie on 31 October, 2005, 7:08
ok if wher does it say it is supposed to vbe a BIRD demon?
Comment icon #57 Posted by kayrite on 9 October, 2005, 13:29
It is indeed fake...the original picture was from the University of Arizona webcam. I can't link to it but if you look on the website you can find it. The clouds look weird 'cause they aren't clouds, it's smoke from the Aspen fire.
Comment icon #56 Posted by suenamilyn on 21 September, 2005, 1:58
its andy kaufman.....i knew it
Comment icon #55 Posted by hassell4 on 19 September, 2005, 17:48
It's Hellboy obviously.
Comment icon #54 Posted by strange stuff this? on 30 July, 2005, 15:52
and look at the size of it compared to the houses, it would have been huge!
Comment icon #53 Posted by strange stuff this? on 30 July, 2005, 15:51
looks like something from hte wizard of oz cut out and pasted into this pic using a photoshop
Comment icon #52 Posted by oogieboogie on 16 July, 2005, 20:05
the tops of the clouds look fake
Comment icon #51 Posted by thequeenb on 9 July, 2005, 12:12
arizona has a devil? i though it was just jersy.that look hot though.actually real lookin.
Comment icon #50 Posted by cryptozoologist on 8 July, 2005, 20:04
Looks plastic, but how it got up there? Maybe photoshop, if it's real, Pokemon do exsist! I knew it!
Comment icon #49 Posted by deanwam on 2 July, 2005, 22:27
This photo deserves to be closely examined...negative and all...I wonder if anyone has done so....
Comment icon #48 Posted by bigfoot freak on 28 June, 2005, 20:33
it's a bird it's a plane no it's a hoax or a mistake for something else
Comment icon #47 Posted by ez_does_it on 28 June, 2005, 3:03
This creature seems very real to me,and its an amazing pic,fake or not. For Twock1ng,the fact that smoke is coming out of the mountain could be that this "Arizona Devil" has spiritual references.The JerseDevil has been sited during times of war,and is reffered to by some to be a spiritual symbol of evil when mankind is in corruption.Maybe this devil we have in this pic is related to the mountain spewing smoke.Animals are known to know when certain events will happen,specially of natural even...

oh, I thought it was Rodan....

You may be on to something, Roadkill demon. Godzilla vs.Megalon was on Sci-Fi channel last Sunday and this looks like Jet Jaguar when he flew into the sky.
Comment icon #44 Posted by malicious on 16 June, 2005, 0:48
ROFL!!! it probably is!!
Comment icon #43 Posted by urisk on 15 June, 2005, 22:18
Seen this before. Looks like a still from a Godzilla movie!
Comment icon #42 Posted by murba on 30 May, 2005, 11:29
if that were real then I'm sure if people seen that thing flying nearby it would be shot down by poachers in seconds
Comment icon #41 Posted by i_grin_with_kitty_kin on 28 May, 2005, 5:30
Heh, you all have some interesting theories. It looks like a Harpie to me! *grin* Anyhoo, that can't possibly be a "demon". Might be a bird, but as I read above, no bird classified by man would dangle its legs like that while in flight. Besides that, more importantly, the body proportion seems iffy...it probably was doctored.
Comment icon #40 Posted by kalayaan on 19 May, 2005, 21:03
It is an 70s picture of a newly designed Soviet spy plane, duh!
Comment icon #39 Posted by anomolyman on 8 May, 2005, 23:15
To me the flying creature most resembles a griffon, the back end of the creature seems to have legs and maybe a tail, to hard to tell from this view but i cant place any other creature in its place to my knowledge. For those who do not know a griffon has the head and claws of an eagle and body of a lion.
Comment icon #38 Posted by ilovevivalabam on 6 May, 2005, 5:28
the clouds look like smoke from a volcano
Comment icon #37 Posted by spiritwolf on 16 April, 2005, 18:45
a bird
Comment icon #36 Posted by marine-bio on 17 March, 2005, 3:36
crisi- i dont really think that they are real. they are on of those made-up harry potter animals. kind of like a dragon. BUT, therer are ppl who belive that dragons and phoenixs. there a like websites about them. personally, i dont think they are real. i just think that it looks like one.
Comment icon #35 Posted by ladygrim on 15 March, 2005, 21:12
wow wudnt this be cool if it were really
Comment icon #34 Posted by crisi on 9 March, 2005, 21:59
Marine- I do think it looks like a phoenix. Are those real? That would explain the long tail and positioning of the wings. And you can barely see, but it looks colorful.
Comment icon #33 Posted by marine-bio on 16 February, 2005, 7:04
well...i do agree w/ u.. it looks like the body is defanitly unbalanced with the wings. Besides that horn or what ever on the top of its head, and if it was a wee bit bigger, it would accually look like pheonix...
Comment icon #32 Posted by hoagy on 12 February, 2005, 2:28
could it be a bird of prey with it's 'prey'?
Comment icon #31 Posted by sockmonster on 8 February, 2005, 0:52
could it not be an eagle carrying prey?
Comment icon #30 Posted by agent mothman on 31 January, 2005, 11:02
It probably is a fake, the legs are not tucked under and the tail hangs too low. If it was real it would have a lot of trouble flying like that. It's a nice try though.
Comment icon #29 Posted by skepticalbeliever88 on 23 January, 2005, 0:52
i think it's a fake....but still an amazing pick....it's really cool.....
Comment icon #28 Posted by moonkittie on 22 January, 2005, 8:24
Yeah. It is. But if it's extinct...*gasp* It's like me owning the last caterpillar of Wooly Bear season! And I do! :D
Comment icon #27 Posted by purplepill2190 on 20 January, 2005, 7:20
cant you all 26 people see? It is an extinct red feathered giant hawk...
Comment icon #26 Posted by horrification on 18 January, 2005, 23:10
cudnt it be an eagle or something?
Comment icon #25 Posted by magix on 14 January, 2005, 9:47
i bet its superman ^_^ hehe just kidding. im pretty sure its an eagle, bet it was put in with photoshop or something like that for sure, and enlarged.
Comment icon #24 Posted by tw0k1ngs on 7 January, 2005, 8:24
And I suppose a mountain of smoke just happened to be pouring out of the mountain at the same time? The guy was probably taking a pic of that, then it was doctored.
Comment icon #23 Posted by brad on 5 January, 2005, 10:24
It could be a fake but it looks pretty real to me, the lighting is perfectly matched on the flying creature.
Comment icon #22 Posted by gmac1000 on 2 January, 2005, 9:46
It kinda looks like a exotic parrot. And who ever wrote the article, well I hate to tell you but I think you have mistaken clouds with a exploding volcano or something like it.
Comment icon #21 Posted by kornfreak on 27 December, 2004, 5:17
they had one out like this after the 9/11 attacks on the Art Bell website www.coasttocoastam.com haven't seen it in awhile. this one is pretty cool. I like. ;p
Comment icon #20 Posted by morbius on 20 December, 2004, 6:41
Well some of the people above said it doesn't look comply with the normal specs of a bird, but who said it was a bird it's a 'devil'. If its real it is mostly likely reptilian in orgin. Like Pteradons in the time of dinosaurs.
Comment icon #19 Posted by catseye64 on 16 December, 2004, 3:54
It's a close call either way.
Comment icon #18 Posted by captainzaggis on 2 December, 2004, 0:02
Don't park your car under that thing
Comment icon #17 Posted by bible boy on 29 November, 2004, 17:19
the thing on tha bottom left is a flag not a kite. The thing in the air looks like it was photoshopped in later. If there was a devil flying in the sky I think someone would take a centered photo of it and not risk having it cut off at tha top to get a nice perfectly level shot of the city-scape and mountain range.
Comment icon #16 Posted by neverheardofit on 29 November, 2004, 5:20
in response to brett... could a kite fly that high?
Comment icon #15 Posted by jacob on 26 November, 2004, 7:43
It looks like the jersey devil to me. though it be could fake it does look kinda real to me.
Comment icon #14 Posted by brett hanna on 17 November, 2004, 5:58
aahh.... it's a kite! I've seen one just like it for sale on the web. If you look at the bottom-left corner you can see a different sort of kite silohetted against the mountains.
Comment icon #13 Posted by tetanus on 13 November, 2004, 22:50
In response to ZaoFreak85's post... it looks nothing like a pelican. Pelicans have huge, fat beaks.
Comment icon #12 Posted by teljihad on 4 November, 2004, 23:36
Just to let druidpagan know...your logic would make plenty of sense but the picture isn't supposed to be of a bird...it's supposed to be a demon with wings...which means it doesn't necessarily have to have the same shapes as a bird...oh yeah and by the way it looks cool.
Comment icon #11 Posted by neverheardofit on 2 November, 2004, 0:52
I'd like it to be true.i dont know what it is but it doesnt look demonic to me.It looks quite cute!
Comment icon #10 Posted by jack neon on 25 October, 2004, 17:14
Whether it's real or not I still like it and can you download images for a closeup view or do a closeup here
Comment icon #9 Posted by lady rabbit on 30 September, 2004, 23:54
it looks like a pelican.....
Comment icon #8 Posted by aniegurl on 12 September, 2004, 20:56
I agree that that legs look like they are hanging unnaturally, most birds have them tucked under while flying.
Comment icon #7 Posted by man_in_mudboots on 19 August, 2004, 1:40
the wings are pretty small.
Comment icon #6 Posted by bible boy on 8 August, 2004, 10:48
I lived in Phoenix for 10 years. Ive heard 2 stories of a huge flying dinosaur from completely seperate individuals. This looks fake though.
Comment icon #5 Posted by jack neon on 5 August, 2004, 19:57
and you can barely see the chest in the wings shadow
Comment icon #4 Posted by jack neon on 30 July, 2004, 12:59
the wings are huge similar scale to a birds and why can't the muscles be in the back
Comment icon #3 Posted by druidpagen on 20 July, 2004, 0:01
well an obvious fake. here's why. if it was real it would need alot larger wings to atain flight and the breast would be huge (as any other bird). notice how thin the chest area is? make sense?
Comment icon #2 Posted by jack neon on 18 July, 2004, 12:09
Besides being blurry I think this actually looks real but that's just me.
Comment icon #1 Posted by man_in_mudboots on 29 June, 2004, 1:17
other than being a bit grainy and the legs hanging unnaturally, i like this one. its so small, though......
