Video: Birdzilla!

And second, we’re bound to have a few readers who’ll not only claim to know people who’ve seen these things but will play it off as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. “Thirty-foot bird with the face of a man? Shoot, my uncle used to have one stuffed and mounted in his den.”

At least the second video delved in to “Thunderbirds” as native Americans called the… The point is, it isn’t some “alien abduction” crap, people have seen these for years. Do I believe in them? I don’t know, I haven’t seen it… But I’m not quick to dismiss it, given all the strange things that were once thought to be myths, but turned out to be real (giant squids, platypus, Denny’s grand slam). But for all I know, there’s something, but they’re exaggerating the size.

But I’m surprised to hear you’ve been to my uncle’s house. Did he teach you to “wrestle”, too?

Come on! Therre is NO WAY this “bird” exists. It would be shot, stuffed, and hung on a wall by now. This is TEXAS baby!

Hogzilla is proof that this theory is flawed. Well, kinda, I guess it came from a farm originally or something, right?

But look at all the creatures discovered on remote islands or in the deep seas all the time. Again, I’ll need to see some evidence before I believe it, but there are enough eye witness reports over generatsion to make it interesting.

BTW, I just wanted to add to what I said earlier… we’re spending BILLIONS chasing after extraterrestrial life, which we have ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE FOR, yet so many people are quick to mock the possibility of giant birds, despite eyewitnesses over hundred of years, and the fact that there have been countless “mythical” animals that have turned out to be real

Again, I won’t believe it until I see it. But I find it funny that we’re so quick to waste so much money chasing something there is no evidence for, but we aren’t dumping tax dollars in to finding the Champlain Monster in Lake Champlain or the Congo’s “mokele mbembe” (which supposedly looks like a brontosaurus). These, and many other creatures, have (admittedly, inconclusive) evidence in the form of eyewitness accounts. But evolutionary assumptions prevents any serious scientific study… yet these same assumptions lead us to spend ridiculous amounts of money chasing these aliens, which we have no evidence for (and don’t give me “alien abduction claims” to say those are the same type of eye witness accounts. First of all, it’s only a recent phenomenon. Secondly, these “abductions” aren’t the evidence scientists are basing the question for ET. The quest is entirely based on the evolution assumption that “life will evolve”. Thirdly, the “abducting” aliens are always humanoid (head, torso, arms, legs. eyes, etc.) anyone, even if evolution was true, who believed that aliens would evolve in to such similarly structured beings as us is an idiot. I always have to laugh at abduction stories… Really, 2 arms, 2 legs, a head, eyes, just like us, huh? How weird that vision would evolve in two places and place 2 eyes on the head, which also by chance evolved both places.. and don’t get me started on the bodies that are basically the same just smaller. That is one damn coincidence that the one type of alien of the supposed infinite types that found us, flies in vehicles, like us, and looks so similar to us. Morons.)
