Giant Alien Bird Terrified Australia in the 1920's

“One night, the boy and his sister were walking home from a neighbors house when they noticed an actual flying object coming to rest on top of a hill. Later, in the early morning light, they found a 30 feet diameter patch of scorched grass.
 

Then, later on, the boy reported seeing a giant bird on a tree. The parents told the boy that this was exactly the “apparition” the neighbors had been “terrified” about.
 

“It appeared out of the darkness,” one of the neighbors had told the boy’s father.

There was a “poultry smell” in the air and feathers were also found.
 

“They were bigger than any bird they had ever seen, ostensibly at least 3 or 4 times bigger than a wedged tail eagle,” Chalker wrote.
 

According to the neighbor’s son, the birds seemed to be gliding with their exceedingly big wings. The beasts, he said, appeared to communicate between them.
 

“They were monsters… making sounds like unintelligible conversation,” the boy explained.
 

His sister and father had also been witness to the ominous bird sightings, “hopping down the hill -near the house- with its wings flapping.”
