More Eyewitness Descriptions of Large Birds
October 25, 2002 - The following e-mails were sent to me after my news update on COAST TO COAST radio on October 21, about the very large, dark brown bird seen flying by dozens of eyewitnesses, including pilots, in the Manokotak and Dillingham towns north of the Alaska Peninsula since the end of September 2002. See Earthfiles report.
I interviewed Prof. Douglas Causey, Ph.D., Senior Vertebrate Biologist, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. He doubted the estimated 14-foot-wingspan that residents described and suggested the answer could be a bird so rare it hasn't been officially observed for nearly fifty years: the sub-species of the Steller's Sea Eagle known as Haliaeetus pelagicus niger. Niger is Latin for "dark." Eyewitnesses stressed that the large bird seen in Alaska is all dark in color. The Niger Sea Eagle is all dark except for its white tail; the Steller's Sea Eagle has white shoulders and tail. Neither species of sea eagle reaches a 14-foot-wingspan. In this report, I have included for comparison photographs and information about other modern birds that have large wingspans.
What Is the Huge Bird Flying Over Manokotak, Alaska?
October 21, 2002 Manokotak and Dillingham, Alaska - Several dozen Manokotak and Dillingham residents and local pilots have seen a "huge, dark feathered bird" with wing span some have estimated up to 14 feet, soaring in the sky since the end of September 2002. Pilot John Bouker, Owner of the Bristol Bay Air Service in Dillingham, Alaska, has flown for 22 years in everything from C-130s to the Cessna 208 he was flying the weekend of October 5. It was late afternoon, around 4 p.m., partly cloudy, but nice flying weather. John had seven passengers with him in his commuter plane when he thought he saw another plane coming toward him.

Teenage Girls Chased by UFO
During their entire investigation, Cascade County officers have sought to verify any possible connection between the cattle mutilations and the reports of UFOs, unidentified helicopters, strange lights and noises and the hairy creatures. In some instances, there has seemed to be a connection, but it has been frustratingly difficult to prove.
A case in point is a cow that was mutilated in late July 1975, on Ashlot Bench north of Fort Shaw. As in many other cases, the cow's teats had been cut off, apparently with an extremely sharp instrument. But in contrast to other cases where there was no sign of struggle, or tracks, or other evidence around the animal, the grass this time was trampled down in a nine foot radius around the carcass. Although a sample of the grass was tested at a laboratory, nothing conclusive was indicated.

Update on the Todd Sees Death in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania
October 4, 2002 Point Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania - Point Township Police Chief Gary Steffen announced today that 39-year-old Todd Sees, who was found dead August 6 near his Montour Ridge home after a two-day manhunt, died from a cocaine overdose.
“The immediate cause of death has been determined to be cocaine toxicity. The manner of death is listed as accidental.” Toxicology analysis was done by Northumberland County Coroner James Kelley. These tests were requested after the autopsy back in August failed to determine Todd See's cause of death.
Part 3 – 2002 Crop Formations In Canada
Part 2 – September 2002 Maize Circles Update: Canada
October 1, 2002 Mission, British Columbia, Canada - On the other side of the ocean in North America, two more circle patterns in maize corn were reported on September 8th from a British Columbia, Canada farm community called Mission. Paul Anderson, Director of the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network (CCCRN) and I contacted the farm owner, Bobby Braich. Mr. Braich wondered from the condition of the plants if they had gone down even earlier at the end of August. If so, it is strange that no one driving on the busy road separating the corn fields bothered to report the patterns before September 8.

September 28, 2002 Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, England - Two weeks ago in England, pilot Tony Hughes was flying over Adam's Grave in Wiltshire when he saw a circle inside a sweet corn field growing along the road between Adam's Grave and Milk Hill. Then a week later, photographer Peter Sorensen was flying over the same area and reported a second circle in the same corn field.
