  • Sorry auto correct regatta apartments on thousand oaks and wetmore

  • I saw this a year ago me and my wife... It was crazy honestly ..we were both so shocked we didn't speak of it at the moment...10 minutes after during a cookout we spoke of it and she too saw off..it was over at the debatable sofa by thousand oaks and wetmore by the lake..right on top of it...wasn't scary just surreal

  • wtf is that at 3:04

    it looks like a ufo

  • To bad no one would happen to have a sniper handy LOL

  • and when i said that black bird was about 6ft..... im not talking bout wingspan... the actual body was about 6ft. i never heard wingz making a looooud woooooosh noise before. thatz how i know it was huuuge. scared the shit out of me. we got wild turkey up here... and when theyflap there wingz... it doesnt much of any noise at all.

  • i seen that too, it scared the shit out of me. all black... bout 6ft... i was walking home from the bus. all i heard was this loud woooosh wooooosh sound as it flew over my head. i seen the black giant shadow. it was flying over me and landed on the telephone pole across the from my house. i was petrified. i tooka pic.. but the quality was too bad to actually see the bird perched on the pole. i gingerally walked to my house. that bird... still existz. im n north versailles, pa.

  • I won that mega lottery. Whoop

  • One of those giant birds flew away with my sister when I was seven

  • you mean a monster or a myth.

  • THUNDER, THUNDER, TTHHUNNDDERR

  • Only eagales in pa r ball players ....that bird is real ass hell

  • Very real I seen a big ass bird fly rite over my head 10 years ago with seven other people who though it was a plane... atleast 18 ft wings!! On my daughter!! N rite out side of Philly...scary to this day

  • @skeenyb get a life huorlesscreep

  • its a fucken vulture you dumbass

  • @0xXCollieXx0 no... volturez hava pink head and neck.... that bird is completely black... lika giant crow.

  • 2:55 is a helicopter

  • Yea hey hey! Look! more BLURRY PICTURES! Maybe it's just people who have problems with depth perception and they just saw a hawk or eagle in which they have huge wing-spans and they freaked the fuck out because they were fucking stoned as hell. Case closed, stoned people took a blurry picture of an eagle.

  • probably the last living roc

  • maybe its a giant teratorn?

  • At 3:04 if you look up at the clouds you can see a black thing shooting down from the sky that suddenly stops as if it landed on the cloud. If anyone can enplane this please do so.

  • @TheBrainiac13 it's a bug on the camera

  • @TheBrainiac13 well see in modern science we call that "a bird landing on an electrical wire"

    its VERY un-common, great spot!

  • To all Pokemon masters: you got your work cut out for you. Now begin your quest!

  • I live in Alaska and LAst summer I saw something quite like this description.

  • look at the background at 3:04 wtf is that

  • @oBruteJAYo ..damn.. it kinda looks like a fukin big bird.. :0

  • You see a bird in the sky you have no reference points for size. A bald eagle may have a 6 foot wing span and stand 3 feet tall yet only weigh 10 or 12 lbs. People who are scared of their shadows need to stay inside.

  • its ho-oh

  • Return of the Mothman?

  • @dslgunner1977 there is somthing in my woods behind my house thats been seen 3 times it has red eyes and is 7 feet above the ground but only my moms brother the workers that built the house and my mom and dad saw it i havent seen it yet maybe it is the mothman

  • @keelyproctor Hopefully you will get to see it someday (preferrably from a safe distance!). I always wondered what the heck the so-called 'Mothman' creature really was (or is). It sure would be cool if it happened to fly by someone who happened to have a dart gun - one that could shoot it with a tranquilizer dart rather than kill it, maybe someone on a safari or something like that. It would be so cool to find a totally new creature, and to actually HAVE the creature itself to study for a while.

  • @dslgunner1977 yea true but if i did ever catch that creature would never send it to a scientist they would kill it or put it through some test. It would be cool to find out what it is though

  • @keelyproctor Yea, your probably right about that, but then again, killing what could be the last of a speicies would be a pretty thoughtless move for a scientist. It's probably better to be cautious though, you really don't know what the heck the scientists would want to do to the poor thing!

    Where abouts did your family (and the workers) see the creature? Was this in the U.S.? I belive the infamous mothman creature was most commonly sighted in Virginia, USA.

    Sure is some interesting stuff!

  • @dslgunner1977 I live in North Carolina and they saw it in the woods but I dont know if anything bad happened I wasnt born yet

  • @keelyproctor North Carolina? Me too! haha. I'm in Wilmington (South-East NC, by the beach)! I haven't even lived here for 2 years yet. I'm originally from Chicago.

  • @dslgunner1977 kool i live in salisbury but ive lived here all my life

  • @dslgunner1977 interesting because its in america.

  • Ben Radford you a Bitch because what you see is always real

    I belive do you :/

  • Omg i saw a bird just like a bird in a pokemon game the SoulSilver one i saw a bird like Ho-Oh but it was only a dream :/ Im scared of giant birds so im trying to reserch them and get more info :/

  • O.O I been to San Antonio like 5 times never seen one although at my hotel I did saw a booklet talking about myths and mosters in San Antonio o.o

  • my grandma saw one similar about three years ago. it was at night and she went out cause she heard a noise and when she looked up there was a huge black bird, just as described in the video, she said its eyes were red and when it cawed it sounded like a scream, she said it stared at her with human intensity then it jumped from the tree and flew into the ditch....she said she was scared to death. so i believe these sightings 100% cause my grandma doesnt make up stories

  • @firelifesm ..i believe in yr grandma ..i wish i could see one of these birds too.

  • When I first came to North East Texas I saw this bird. The bird I saw was a large black bird that looked like a giant vulture or Condor so I believe that is what this bird is most like.

    I saw this bird flying low and it was very very large. This was not some hallucination and I know what I saw was very large and very real. It is only a matter of time before the Teratorn is discovered alive and existing today.

    Obviously it is rare but it DOES exist. Guaranteed!!!

  • @75630KaraokeStar ...damn it would have frightening and exciting to have seeing this bird :o

  • @parvezjakson It was very scary and yet I was so awestruck that I looked out my front upstairs bedroom window amazed and in disbelief. I had no camera or any means of capturing an image of this mega bird but I do remember that it did not flap it's wings but rather glided through the sky wings outstretched. It moved fairly fast and was out of site in no time. I tried to get a camera but could not find one in time. These Crypto birds are real. What I saw was not in a dream but a reality.

  • @CaptainMarvel1982 ...thanks for sharing all that ..if i was in your place id want a snap very bad aswell...actually i live in india ..ima indian but i have to shift to other countries sometimes ,im currently in singapore...i wonder if i would ever see a thunderbird in india cos ive never heard a news of any giant bird here ..what im thinkin is these birds have only been seen in some parts of america ..but whenever i think of thunderbird i tell to myself ''keep watchin the sky 'bOy ' ! lol

  • @parvezjakson In the beginning I was scared but this bird did not look to be in predatory mode but was just gliding through the air. Truthfully this bird did not look like a raptor. Still I can not say for sure. I was just awestruck by what I saw.

  • OMG SHADOW PHOENIX!

  • this is not fake i have seen this bird flying very high in the sky...its huge as hell

  • It was a border patrol helicopter, no wonder he was frightened.

  • @jwalk1014 Yes, because San Antonio is a border town.

  • Why, you americans, every animal called monster???

  • @drigydrandrindran probably out of fear since Americans these days are afraid of anything and anyone that looks diffrent, hell these dumb bastards think the outbreak of mange in wild dogs is an outbreak of chupacabras

  • Saw one myself in North America Would NOT WANT to see one again!

  • haha, i would love to have a pet giant teratorn

  • @wiseye61 before or after it tries to kill you may have been a scavanger but it is powerful enough to take on a modern human with little effort

  • @crypto457

    Humans have heavy brains, maybe try subduing it by headbutting it? it just might work.

  • @wiseye61 the human weighs about 8 pounds I seriously doubt a headbutt of a human would do any damage and if you do try to headbutt it to submission iyou would have to get close to it which is also a suicide mission to start with since the bird will knock the human down and kill the poor bastard

  • @crypto457

    haha... i was joking.

  • .....It was a clear night so we could see the shape of it pretty clear, It pretty much looked like an eagle only alot bigger. I am aware of people claiming to have seen pteradactlyes around texas but I assure you it was not that. This is one of those things in life that only a few people get to experience and no matter what I say its not going to sound as good as the distinct memory I have in my head. Im just happy that I wasnt alone to see this so I have someone to back me up on what I saw

  • ......I reckon it had a wingspan of about 4/5m give/take. I distinctively remember the enormous whoosh sound of its flapping of wings, and I distinctively remember the loud screaming sound it made, which it did three times. This bird didnt seem like it was rushing anywhere but just calmly flew south. We watched it fly for about a minute or 2 until it faded off in the distance/darkness........

  • this is fully real. Iv seen this bird in lubbock tx back in 2008 (i think november maybe october) My friend and I were sitting outside his house (on 61rst off quaker, pretty much in the middle of the city i know its a strange location for this siting) and it was about midnight/1:00am and while we were talking we heard a loud screming bird noise (pretty much just like an eagle) but it was very loud, almost as if it was a majestic noise, then we looked up 2 see a LARGE bird flying south.....

  • there was a prehistoric huge eagle in New Zealand

  • Comment removed

  • I saw a Monsterquest episode on this subject. The Thunderbird sightings started back in Ohio in the 70s but have been seen here in Texas as well as Alaska and parts of Canada. While I'm sure one of these things could kill a full-grown man, they're more likely to swoop down and carry off a child. The case in Ohio had a ten year old nearly taken away by one of these things.

  • I'd like to taste those birds

  • I had a dream about this bird last night. and i know why. when i was around 6-7 years old i saw tis bird in valley forge. and i'm scared.

  • If I randomly saw a giant bird Id yell that birds power level is OVER 9000!!!

  • Duh~! Itz just BIG BIRD from Sesame Street fooling around the sky~

  • seen an unbelievable huge bird during a thunderstorm in pecos, tx in 1989.

  • There is a giant 31/2 to 4 foot tall owl in Seabrook TX that doen't exist according to my research. Has anyone ever seen or heard of an owl that size? It was just standing in the middle of the road turned away from me and I thought it was a great dane or something, then it's head rotated around and I saw it was an owl. It had the face of a barn owl, tytonidae, but was bright white.

  • Something that can fly so high has no chance of not being spotted in a well populated area. What would it feed on, where would it sleep ect ect ect...

    Impossible.

  • its an evolved version of a velociraptor!!

  • i cant get over that crazy news introduction! that guy is gay !

  • @shutupstupid9 shut it phaggot

  • its evolution!

  • people need to stay off those crazy hard hallucination causing drugs

  • @AyTownAffiliate to have a closed mind is to be a fool. Look up Argentavis Magnificens on some search engine with an image section (like google)

    You'll shit your pants because this bird lived with humans.

  • I just saw a bird across from my home in Tulsa Ok that appeared to have a wingspan of at least 12-15 feet (8:15 pm CST). It flew relatively low (60 ft) above the ground of a well lit park and then ascending beyond a treeline. I observed the bird for about 10 seconds. It sounds too crazy to believe. There are no North American birds documented at that size. I'm still in disbelief but the view I had was unobstructed. The width of the wings looked nearly 3 ft across. And no I'm not drinking.

  • @stonemfg9

    Well, there is a type of Eagle in Alaska known to be that big, but as I said that's alsaka and not Oklahoma. It might have been a bald eagle but who knows.

  • Its an ARGENTIVAS, the dinosour Condor 6 million years ago, i saw them in 1993

  • there are more undiscovered creatures in this world than stars in the sky. Don't forget two thirds of this worls are still to be uncovered so who knows whats out there

  • Well I am from San Antonio,ok so it was 9.10 yrs ago we as in my dad,mom my two sisters my uncle and myself we were in my front yard my dad looks up to the sky and there were three great big black birds "HUGE" flying about 60 feet above the ground the wings were connected to the birds legs "prehistoric " people wow its felt as we were in a scifi movie and for six people to see the same huge birds its true. Ruben Alvarado from San Antonio Tx.................

  • With american armed to the teeth why hasn't one been shot in modern times. Just one, not the whole sale slaughter of an animal like the buffalo,

    Take a decent photo or got shoot one. Chances of doing either is about nil so what the hell.

    Its probably a sparrow or seagull freaking out city morons who have never seen a real bird anyway.

  • i agree but also disagree one of those people said ''it was at least 6 ft long'' there ARE birds that are 6 ft long they already are discoverd buttttt..... take a look at 1:49

  • true thats one big bird....and not the yellow one of sesame street, which will hopefully not be hunted down and shot because of this vid.

  • It was in 1976 when I saw the bird you moron. We didn't have cel phones with cameras and most of us didn't even have film unless it was a special ocassion. moron. I saw the bird.  I remember that day like yesterday. I is not something you forget.

  • Well until there is hard proof it just a story.

    "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof"

    And to this day there is no evidence of such a bird, just stories.

    You seem to have chosen film as your profession, why not go get the first decent footage. Or accept the fact that you are most likely mistaken and time has reinforced a mistaken incident to the realms of pure fantasy.

  • First of all, I am not out to prove anything. Nor would I waste my time trying to find it. It was 33 years ago. the bird is probable dead. Another thing, you were not there so don't write to me as if you know what is fact. I was lucky to have seen it. And I could care less if anyone believes me. I do know one thing for sure. There were two others, (Teachers in the SS Dist. who saw it the same day.

  • Oh please. There are at least two other witness that saw the bird on the same day.  You were not there so don't talk to me about "facts." I wanted to explain more on my first comment when I found this site but only allowed 500 character. But, frankly, I don't really care if you believe me or not. I am not out to prove anything. I just feel that I was luck or blessed to see such a creature with my own eyes.

  • Good for you.

    As for me - this type of vid is generally hoaxed, and stories (such as yours) usually are a case of mistaken identity by people who have limited knowledge of what they are looking at.

    IF birds like this existed they would have to be at population levels high enough to sustain genetic variation. And especially a bird of this size would be spotted, filmed and shot (or protected) on numerous occasions.

    Till then you have a nice story, but its just that...a story.

  • unitify, I am no city moron, and do not need to have been with you in 1976 when you saw yours to believe you. Don't get worked up over windbags on here trying to tell you you never saw what you saw. I am here to tell you many more have seen things they never officially reported, myself included, and no amount of self-important doofuses would convince me otherwise. Take care.

  • Thanks for your words. I know what I saw. I wished I had had a camera.  God Bless.

  • what was it like man?

  • I hate how they pronounce it "Rio Grand" instead of "Rio Grande." It bothers me.

  • Thunderbirds are real, lots of folks have seen them, the description given are correct, the flapping wings sounds like thunder.

  • it was at night

  • i live in el paso and me and four friend saw this huge gray bird it was in the middle of the desert it was like about 2 or 3 houses long

  • fuck all this bullshit

  • Oct. 28, 2009 at 12 am I was driving by San Marcos and something flew above my car and flew about 5 feet ahead and then turned to the front of my car and started flapping IT'S wings!!! I was shocked and started screaming and my husband woke up. I finally told him what happened and that's when he told me about the Thunder birds that he learned in school.. I have never heard of this before ( I'm from KS!!) IT was HUGE and had legs hanging from it's body. I don't want to see another one!!!

  • I wanna see one so bad. i hope that some day someone has a camera or a gun close to him and shoots and hits it. so it can be put on a zoo so every fucking person that said it din't exist can shut the fuck up

  • well if they keep doing that it will not exist! killing an animal to prove that it exist to a bunch of fuckers?? thats FUCKING SAD!!!:(

  • hopefully not a gun that could hurt it, or kill it.

  • its true

  • yea... I think I saw it aswell!!!

    This happened about 3 years ago... near the southside.. me and a friend was driving in this dark road near the train tracks at kelly USA, heading toward the south of 410.. and me and some friends where going into this haunted slaughter house just for some fun to spook ourselves...

    anyways i was driving and i saw this HUGE bird in front of the road, it was gray and huge! it just freaking flew up in the air and disappeared.....

  • I saw the giant bird too. I was going to South Side High Sch 1976. I was at home alone. I could here it flapping in the wind and the bird was so big I couldn't believe it. I wanted to call someone on the phone to let them know, but there was no time instead I just stared at it as it flew away. When my step mom came home I told her and to my surprice, she believed it. She told me that she had just heard within that same hour that some teachers had said they had seen it too.

  • Pteranodon didn't have a rhamphorincus' tail.

  • FALLEN ANGELS

  • Maybe its one of those Argentavis magnificens (a turkey vulture in the size of a hang glider)

  • I think so too. That'd be soo cool. :)

  • the moth-man O.o

  • these reports go back years. supposedly one of these giant birds was caught in illinois in 1977 but the media chose to not make it public

  • if i ever saw it i would have sex with it X)

  • mwahaha XD

  • i was leaving a baseball game at my school, when my friend and i saw a huge bird, but what caught my attention was the tail. it was a lizard like tail with an arrow at the end of it, it also had a big beak. Another time, i was playing wiffleball after school, and several of my friends and i saw a normal looking hawk, but the strange thing was the it was 5 times its normal size, its wingspan was 20-25 ft! you had to have seen it.

  • @SuperNoob09 cool story bro....

  • i wounder if this bird taste better than chicken?

  • Okay, so when I was at school we were walking inside and there was bird that looked EXACTLY like a Pterodactyl.

    It had the tail with the arrow looking thing at the end, it had a 1-2 foot long, pointy beak, and a wingspan of about 20-30 feet across. AND when it flapped it's wings, it made a noise like a bomb hitting the ground. It was so freaky!! it made me scared.

  • Giant bird poo on your head

  • wut kinda bird was that at 19 secs?

  • thought it might be a condor.. but you can see its sharp beak which kinda makes it look like a average eagle

  • that guy looks like he smokes toooo much.

  • Its a condor!

  • this is the list of the legenary birds. Alicanto Anka Ba Bar Juchne Bennu Feng-huang Habrok Harpies Heloha Ho-Ho Hyrcinian birds Karshipta Melatha
  • Ropen, Kongomato

  • oh you forgot one. Ur mom.....

  • el ave mas grande del mundo es el condor de chiles =)

  • It better not shit on my car

  • why are they making this story out to be scary? its a giant bird, nothing "eerie" about it.

  • I've had an encounter with the same bird.

    I live in Southern California. and I was almost attacked by this bird. If you wanna know the whole story, messege me and i'll tell you.

  • i would like to hear

  • I would love to hear your story, I also live in So-Cal.

  • Ben Radford says: The eye can be deceived

    I say: We can be deceived by Ben Radford

  • it would be so cool if they do exist,so we can tame them and I wud love to ride on top a giant bird into the air w/o it dropping or killing me ,weeeeeeee :D

  • I know a family down in Ft Stockton Texas that swear thet've seen one.

  • This thing would have you for Thanksgiving.

  • for real, I've heard of people claiming this.

    I think it's real.

  • The Native Americans called these birds "THUNDERBIRDS" Because the sound of their wings Sounded like thunder because they were so big It would be amazing to see one, they still do exsist, I have a picture from the internet of a Bird that looks JUST like a crow, but the wingspan is 25ft. I think it is soo cool these birds are still alive, They are the collest ever

  • @gaiadickhead, they called them thunderbirds because they rode the thermals in front of thunderstorms, making use of the updrafts, you dumass. shut up anyway, because Giaia causes all the suffering in the world. fuk Gaia.

  • @Spectatio Fuck you with something hard and sandpapery... YAYAYYAYA! =]

  • I do too, We already know huge birds with 20+foot wingspans existed within human history. Who's to say that they aren't extinct.

  • look up the haast eagle in new zealand, it went extinct just a few hundred years ago, wingspan of several meters. Maori tribes at the time would never allow young children out alone in areas where these eagles lived.

  • @Goodspittin Thanks! It is very cool =D

  • @Goodspittin Yes, I agree but not in one of the most populated cities in the U.S. San Antonio.

  • oh MY GOD!!!

    i won the lottery pick three hellz yea

  • there was a kid that got chansed by that thing in houston TX! SCARY! i heard all about it PASADINA! TX!

  • OK!!!! GO AND FIND IT

  • I cant believe that others seen it.

    I even saw one a little more north than san antonio

  • my great grandfather found in 1834 a feather so long as hes arm.

  • Ok..I didn't believe in this stuff either ...and I really can't believe I'm posting this either but I did see something a couple years ago off of 1604 a little further off of the shavano park exit while going home from UTSA one night..it's wingspan was about as wide my car..and by the way I have a bio degree so I know it wasn't a freakin bird people...all im saying is be careful when your out there bc that thing was creepy..no joke

  • Teratorn existed as recently as 6,000 years ago alongside Native Americans, and they had wingspans from 11 to 17 feet. In Woodburn, Oregon they found Indian remains in 10,000 year old stratum--in the same stratum was the humerus of a Teratron bird with an est. 14 ft wingspan. But I doubt such birds exist today since all the giant mammals they fed on have become extinct. Condors, and giant Steller's eagles can be mistaken for small planes. An 8-10 ft wingspan can look like 12-18 feet from below.

  • I could've sworn I heard reports that the dinosaurs had been misunderstood to be lizardlike for all this time and that scientists now think they were more birdlike. Is it possible? Dinosaurs are not extinct? Or worse, did crazy scientists use DNA and bring these things back?!!!

  • How big is the body part? Wings span I heard of in a bird allready.

  • I cannot believe I am saying this ofcourse this has to happen to me but I did see something that made my chin drop. I was either a GIANTIC BIRD of sorts or a computerized hoax flying the skies above me. Dinosaur like bird with great wingspan. Maybe I am going crazy.

  • here is baldy, "the eye can be decieved" in other words we are to stupid to determine what we are witnessing, only he can determine it for us, i wish a thunderbird would swoop down and take his bald head off, then i would be skeptical about that lol

  • i saw that damn thing yesterday. i was on my deck and i was talking to my mother through the window. then i heard rustling. and out of the corner of my eye i saw my neighbors bush moving. i looked over and i saw this bird comming out of the bush. it was hanging on the bush with its wings folded. it turned its head looked at me and flew past the house. it was all black with a white ring around its neck. it was huge. today i measure the bush. it was 8 feet wide. it had a wingspan of 15-20 feet.

  • really?

    I never seen one

  • yep. it was huge. when you see one you will remember it. this bird is big and it scares the hell out of you. i had a reference point and i know what i say people. believe me or not but it was a thunderbird.

  • think they can carry someone off??

  • according to the native americans the thunderbird would carry off small children

  • thats not a pteradactyl it looks like a bird thats related to vultures

  • I've never understood y people worry bout ridicule. Stop caring about what others think. You know what you saw.

  • dinosaurs are still alive!

  • OMFG its jst the shadow and he said it bigger then him wtf its basic shit man man i learned this shit when i was 10!

  • It's just a drunked dude .A giant bird wich bodysize a little widther then he's...? :0 a Antonov 225 for SURE!
