Thunderbirds are giant
birds which have been known by the North American Indians from time
immemorial.
These
birds are part of the culture, totem poles, and more of Indian history
and mythology.
The
giant birds have also be seen in modern times. Some observers say they
are just giant regular birds while others say they have the appearance
of Pterodactyls.
In
this book we review American Indian beliefs and legends about these
giant birds. We also review the many reports not only in North America,
but all over the world of giant birds and/or flying reptiles.
There
are similar sightings all around the world too and we cover these too.
Finally,
I make an effort to determine what these sightings really are and if
they might also make a case for living Pterodactyls in our world.
It’s
an exciting journey so please come aboard and learn about some of these
amazing sightings.
