Giant Mutant Fly
by Kathy

I read a story by Jennifer in Michigan about Giant Flies. I live in Michigan and when I was about 15 (1988) I saw a giant fly. It was at a quarry in Southeast Michigan around July. My boyfriend, his friend and I were out in his 4x4 truck mudding and stopped at the quarry. We got out and walked around, contemplating swimming. I turned to walk back to the truck to get my pop when my boyfriend hit me really hard on the bottom. I thought he was just trying to show off in front of his friend. I turned around very mad yelling at him cause it hurt a lot and saw him kicking the ground. He kicked it into the water and was pointing and yelling, "That was on you! What the hell is it?" His friend was also freaking out.

When I looked in the water, it was a giant fly about a foot long! One wing looked damaged, but it was still trying to fly but could only buzz around in the water. Once we regained some control, we tried to retrieve it, but it was too far out into the water. None of us were brave enough to go into the water to retrieve it. We were all afraid there may be other mutant creatures lurking in the water.

We never went back to that quarry. Some people believed us and some thought we were telling stories. I have never heard of anyone else witnessing one of these giant flies until I read Jennifer's story here.
