Monsters are Real!

There’s something about Texas winters. During January and February of 1976, dozens of citizens in South Texas (from the Rio Grande Valley to San Antonio), were reporting sightings of enormous, flying creatures. The noteworthy encounters began on New Year’s Day of the Bicentennial, when two teenage girls in Harlingen observed a man-sized, vulture-like bird leering at them in their yard. It apparently left behind impressive tracks that were six inches long and over an inch deep. Within a few days, Brownsville resident Alverco Guajardo had a run-in with a winged monster that he described as being, “Like a bird, but not a bird,” Guajardo stated that the monster looked like something, “Not of this world.” A week later, Raymondville resident Armando Grimaldo was rushed to a hospital, after he claimed he was attacked by a gigantic, bat-like beast that descended from the sky, tearing at Armando’s clothing with its claws. As media outlets around the world spread the news about the strange encounters, many more eyewitnesses came forward. Some described animals that resembled airplane-sized, leathery-skinned pterodactyls. Including three school teachers from San Antonio’s south side, who pulled over their cars on the way to work in order to watch two, prehistoric reptiles soaring overhead. Reports died down significantly by the end March 0f 1976, but sightings occasionally still surface. It has been almost three years since my first book on the subject of the Big Birds was published and I’m very pleased to report that a new book is on the way, which promises to update my flying creature research over that time. Stay tuned for some fascinating, new reports and in the meantime… keep watching the skies!  ^v^
