I’ll reopen the thread for discussion and put on my thickest skin to answer any questions about the encounter.

It happened. This thing is out there someplace right now. It’s inexplicable to me that nobody else is reporting seeing this thing because it easily has a 40 to 50 foot wingspan and looks like a plane taking off when it flew off into the horizon.

We are in Northwestern Mequon Wisconsin. I saw a brown pelican the other day which is very rare for my area but I’m close to Lake Michigan in a rural part of our county so we do get some very grand birds here. These very grand birds from cranes to herons to pelicans to eagles are easy to distinguish from a giant prehistoric looking monster bird with a 10 to 15 foot long beak that could chop large game in half.
