Cryptozoologist mulls theories on 'Big Bird'

[UM-Bot]

Hidden in the shadows outside of civilization, monsters are believed by some to exist. According to folklore, a large primate stalks the Pacific Northwest and a giant reptile lurks in the depths of a Scottish lake. And in South Texas, people carefully watch the skies for Big Bird, a flying creature that terrorized the area in 1976.

“This bird’s got a habit of going after people,” said Guadalupe Cantu III, an eye witness. “This is strictly a nighttime bird, though. ...

uhm... when humans finally reached new zealand, a giant bird stalked and killed them. untill the humans wiped out the land-based bird (forgot its name >_<) which was its original prey, the bird then primerily went after humans untill it (appariently) died out.

I find it funny when groups such as these Cryptozoologists surface with such stories. Yea, I understand we found a huge Squid in the depths of the ocean in 2004, but were talking about open skies, anything the size of whatever there talking about would be picked up on radar wouldn't it? To me it sounds as if this "Big Bird" is the size of a small plane. I'll just keep out of Texas just incase the rest of the Sesame Street crew decide to make an appearance.

a 10 foot span eagle is hard to be picked up by radar.

it's not even metal in the first place.

FYI birds DO show on radar...

Birds will show up on radar, even migrating Monarch butterflies will appear. How many birds, their migration route, speed, and more can all be gathered from radar.
