I have some info on the big
bird situation. In 2001, my husband and I were driving outside of New
Wilmington, Pa. late one night. It was around 2-3 in the morning. We had
received a call that someone may have spotted our lost beagle. It was October
and we had a quiet moment while we were driving down this dusky country road.
The moon was out and did light things up, but it was still dusk-like.

All of the sudden, we heard
a bird fly above us. It swooped down, soaring above our SUV. We thought it
landed on our vehicle because we sort of lifted up a little off the road. Our
windows were down and the bird had came so close to our vehicle that when it
soared back up, it kind of lifted us up, or felt like it anyway. We both looked
at each other and said, "What the hell was that?" We looked up in the sky and a
huge grayish-white like bird with a wing span of about 13 to 16 feet soared to a
nearby white tree with out leaves. It blended in so well, the bird disappeared
when it landed on the limb. The tree looked petrified/dead like. I said to my
husband, "That is the biggest bird I have ever seen in my life." [/size]
I called it the "bird man"
because its legs were so long and dangled like a man's legs. We came home and
told our children (who are teens) the following morning and they laughed at us.
It almost looked prehistoric! I still find it hard to believe what we saw. When
I came home from work this morning, my husband told me he heard about this big
bird thing on Coast-to-Coast. I'm glad to hear we are not the only ones who have
seen this amazing bird.
