Thunderbird Sightings! Do These Mythical Creatures Exist?

The Thunderbird legend has always intrigued me, and it baffles me how the Thunderbird isn't as big as a Bigfoot phenomenon, as there are tons of alleged sightings of these huge creatures each and every year. And we also have some very credible people who swear that they have come face to face with these legendary creatures. Native Americans have told stories for eons about huge birds that can be seen in the skies before or during a thunderstorm, and even on rare occasions, these birds are big enough to take small children. On July 25th, 1977, 10-year-old Marlin was playing hide-and-seek with his friends. Out of nowhere, a large bird grabbed him by his shirt, and this bird was able to actually lift him off the ground, and Marlin weighed at least 60 pounds. Marlin started screaming for his mother. Marlin's mother couldn't grasp what she was seeing. She witnessed her son being carried in the air for at least 40 feet before this huge bird finally let him go. Marlin's mother could not believe that there are birds out there that are that big that could actually do something like this. In October of 2002, in a couple of remote Alaskan villages, people started seeing a huge bird in the sky. They estimated the wingspan of this bird to be at least 14 feet. The witnesses were a little worried, as they knew all about the legends of the Thunderbird. Now, what gives this mass sighting some very strong credibility is the pilot and also the passengers saw this huge bird. The passengers started to go crazy once they got close enough to see how big this bird actually was. When the pilot was asked about this incident, he replied that this thing was huge, and you wouldn't want to have your children outside when this bird was flying overhead. In 1890, a Tombstone newspaper posted an article about two cowboys that had an encounter with a gigantic bird, and these cowboys managed to shoot it dead. It was described as having very smooth skin, very similar to that of a bat. This bird also possessed a featherless, alligator-looking face. When the two cowboys stretched this bird, its wingspan was as large as the barn. A lot of people who saw this bird thought that it was a dinosaur, but nobody knows where this alleged corpse is today. In 1738, a band of treasure-seeking Spaniards were attacked and killed by Indians. The Indians were very angry as these treasure hunters kept trespassing on their land, but two Spaniards managed to stay hidden from the Indian onslaught. They watched as the Indians took their dead friends into a cave, and this cave had a petroglyph of a huge bird covering the entrance, and the Spanish, scared for their lives, fled back to their camp. In the 1980s, another treasure hunter said that he stumbled upon that very cave as this cave had a petroglyph of a very large, unusual-looking bird over its entrance. He stated that this huge bird had a long, ripped-tail-like tail. While digging within this cave looking for silver, he unearthed a huge feather, and this feather measured 18 inches in length. This remarkable feather was examined by experts. The experts stated that this feather is indeed from a bird, but from what type of bird, they could not say. This feather might just be the best evidence that we have that the thunderbird or some other type of huge unknown birds just might exist. Here is a very remarkable picture of some Civil War soldiers standing on top of a huge unknown bird. If this picture is real, it's one heck of a photo. Just like Bigfoot, the thunderbird has tons of very credible reported sightings, and also some pretty amazing possible evidence. But still to this day, no one has ever found a body. But with all these amazing sightings being reported each and every year, it makes us all wonder and hope that we too might just get lucky enough one day to get a glimpse of the legendary thunderbird flying in the skies above.
