Thunderbird Sighting
by icedmediallions

I saw a huge bird about 20 or 30 feet long when I was a little boy between the ages of 9 and 11 (I'm now 34). I was visiting my great grandmother's house in Westover, Maryland. That evening there was a very bad thunderstorm - the worst I've ever seen, even to this date. The storm stopped late, but you could still hear the gust from the wind against the windows, even though the storm was blowing over. I got up to use the bathroom, as I had to go pretty bad (as laid in bed scared to get up because of the storm). I noticed that the moonlight was pretty bright that night. I could see the glare from the moon inside the house. 

On my way to the bathroom, I heard a faint noise from a distance that got louder and louder. It was the sound of a bird. Then I saw an unusually large shadow approaching the house. I looked out the window to see a huge bird flying with a wingspan that covered the whole house! I watched, not believing my eyes as the bird was the size of a plane! It had to be between 25 to 30 feet!
