Huge, mysterious bird spotted in Alaska

It's probably an alien space ship. Their cloaking technology makes it look like a bird.

I guess there have been "reports", sporadic, of course, of mystery birds, generally involved in attacks on young children... but where a large bird all of a sudden nose dives out of the sky, huge wing spans, etc. Creepy.
 
I saw on TV some guy had an old film of a really large bird taken somewhere in the pacific Northwest. He estimated the wingspan somewhere around 15 feet. You could tell that it was really really big, but there was nothing to scale from so you couldn't tell a whole lot. It looked like a big buzzard.
 
Schemf, other biologists, a village police officer and teachers at the Manokotak School said the sightings could be of a Steller's sea eagle, a species native to northeast Asia and one of the world's largest eagles. It's about 50 percent bigger than a bald eagle.

The fish-eating Steller's sea eagle can weigh 20 pounds and have a wingspan of up to 8 feet. It has a distinctive and impressive appearance, Schemf said, with a pronounced yellow beak, a black or dark brown body and large white shoulder patches.

That's pretty friggin' big also.:Q But fourteen feet? Dayam.
