MOTHRA LIVES:

A super-sized bird in Alaska (PETER PORCO, October 15, 2002, Anchorage Daily News)

A giant winged creature, like something out of Jurassic Park, has reportedly been sighted several times in Southwest Alaska in recent weeks.

Villagers in Togiak and Manokotak say they have seen a huge bird that's much bigger than anything they have seen before.

A pilot says he spotted the creature while flying passengers to Manokotak last week. He calculated that its wingspan matched the length of a wing on his Cessna 207. That's about 14 feet.

Did anyone, by any chance, spot a perfect replica of Yul Brynner in full Gunfslinger regalia? Posted by Orrin Judd at October 16, 2002 8:24 AM
