    [Hoax] 'Live pterosaur' filmed flying over Idaho


    The 'pterosaur' can be seen soaring over an Idaho neighborhood.


    A recently released video claims to show what looks like a dinosaur flying over the
    United States.The controversial footage, which was allegedly recorded over Boise in
    Idaho by a perplexed onlooker, captures the moment the prehistoric flying reptile
    was spotted over the area.


    Sightings of large winged creatures have actually been reported several times over the last few decades with legends of the 'Thunderbird' still alive and well in Native American folklore.

    Famous cases include that of two cowboys who in 1890 allegedly killed a gigantic bird-like creature in Arizona which had smooth skin and a face like that of an alligator. Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman has also written extensively about a series of Thunderbird sightings that occurred in the 1940s.

    There was even an incident in 1977 in which three young boys in Lawndale, Illinois were pursued by two large birds. As they tried to escape, one of the boys was allegedly picked up by one of the creatures and carried over a short distance before being dropped again.

    As for the new video - while it certainly looks impressive, critics have argued that it could very easily be a computer-generated hoax and very little is known about the background or circumstances.

    The chances of it being an actual pterosaur are remote to say the least.

    I'm not sure why these sorts of things get posted on the internet, it only encourages the hoaxers.
    Then I am not sure why people discuss if it is real or not either, as it again encourages the hoaxers.
    Meanwhile, I am sure there is probably something happening in the world worth paying attention to.
    It's felt like a time warp lately as everyone goes back to debating if the planes were really planes that hit some towers 14 years ago.
    It is all good, but it is also not so. It is understandable that people want to peer at magical mystery moments and twiddle their nipples to the beat, but, ya know, ya just have to try and stay focused.

    How in the world does anyone believe this looks real? I know quite a bit about computer animation, and I can tell you this is completely fake. While the unrealistic wing animation is a dead giveaway to any animator, the entire CG "bird" even rotates ridiculously at 8 seconds in the video. This is a pathetic attempt at a hoax.

    Thunderbird yes do exist a America shaman once spoke to me about them they attack children rare .


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCUngLRVNRM



    Veloci-raptors also still exist I read of a fortress of them in a valley between Iran and Iraq .
    A army went in 100,000 strong in ancient times to wipe them out not one of the people returned .

    The greatest defeat of the British empire was in Afghanistan were tens of thousands of heavily armed British soldiers went into a valley one person escaped a doctor who told strange tales of creatures attacking the British troops tales that India was unwilling to report to Britain

    Only one European (Assistant Surgeon William Brydon) reached Jalalabad called the Massacre of Elphinstone's Army~16,500 killed or captured

    Wholly mammoth I believe is not extinct but exists in far north in remote valleys
