Amazing Thunderbird Sighting
by Bob F.

I read an article that you authored about sightings of a giant bird. I have been somewhat haunted since Sept/Oct 1995 when, while driving to work at approximately 6:15 a.m. on my tree-canopied country road (Deer Path Lane) in the town of Weston, Massachusetts, as I drove over the slightly ridged slope in the road toward Highland Street, I thought "a man in a hang glider" was about to smash into my car windshield. I abruptly stopped the car and to my absolute astonishment... it was a giant eagle-like bird with black eagle like wings and some white colors, with a head resembling that of an eagle! I can only describe the wingspan as large as an interstate highway road sign - at least 20 feet wide! And with a body the size of an adult human! From its enormous size, I would estimate its weight to be about 175-200 lbs. 

This creature majestically and effortlessly lumbered and floated up above my car softly and gently, moving it's wings for lift of flight up through the middle of the roadway so it's wings would not be obstructed by the tree canopy branches lining the confines of the roadway. I will NEVER forget what I saw! When I arrived at work at about 6:45 a.m., I called the town of Weston Police Department and reported my sighting. I called my wife and my parents to tell them what I had seen, and I also told everyone at work upon my arrival. I contacted the local Audubon Society and I purchased a "bird book" from the nearest shopping mall on my lunch break. NONE of the birds in the book come even close to what I saw. What I saw resembles the: Argentavis Magnificens.
