ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. — A man in Bartow County said he and his sister came across a large bird they were not able to immediately identify.Clifford McLure, a 54-year-old Adairsville resident, told that the event took place on March 10th at about 2:00 p.m. near his town. “I was flying the remote control airplane, it was about 400 feet,” he said. “A large bird flew out over tree tops going North about level with the airplane,” he added. McLure believes the airplane startled the bird as it flew close by.The Georgian claimed that the rare sighting took about 6 minutes and provided a physical description of the alleged creature. “The remote control has a wingspan of 14 inches. The bird’s wingspan was 6 or 7 times wider than the plane’s, the wing flaps were nearly one second in duration,” he specified, adding that the animal exhibited “black raggedy feathers” and an 11-inch straight beak. “It also had a long straight neck.”Thunderbird, also known as Roc, is the nomenclature used by Native Americans to refer to bird-like creatures with reptile features that are believed to be related tothe extinct pterosaurs.Source X -- source link
