I received an email late in 2009, from M. H. (anonymous).
“I live in Australia in the state of Victoria near the Dandenong Ranges about 25 [kilometers] east of Melbourne. . . . around the late 1990’s . . . I saw was what I first thought was a pelican flying about 3000 feet high but realised pelicans at that height did not look as large as this . . . [it was about 9 p.m.] It was full moon . . . It was something flying that appeared to be at the height of light planes that fly around here . . . This thing was at least as large as . . . say a Cesna. . . . lazily flapping it’s wings . . . It appeared to be lit up by the moonlight and shining as if it had no feathers. Very strange . . . I had it under observation for about 5 mins . . .”
In Australia, this man is not alone, witnessing what our Western culture implies is impossible. I have communicated with several other Australians, over the past six years, and they have seen similar giant flying creatures. But the others have had much closer encounters.
