SUMMER 1978, ARCO, IDAHO, USA, JESSIE ROSS:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

"The Western Bigfoot Society Newsletter" apparently reported that near Arco, Idaho, on Summer 1978, in the afternoon, Jessie Ross saw what looked like "a prehistoric eagle sitting on a 15-foot rock. When it saw him it tried to fly, it had to take lumbering steps with some flopping around."

It was not a vulture and stood about 5 feet high on the rock, had a hooked beak, was coal black with a bright orange head, and had eyes two inches across. Eventually it got in the air, spreading its 20-22 feet wingspan, to catch the 90-degree summer thermals, and flew off to the north.

The story later entered a "humanoid reports" catalogue.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that near Arco, Idaho, on Summer 1978, in the afternoon, Jessie Ross saw what looked like, a prehistoric eagle sitting on a 15-foot rock. When it saw him it tried to fly, it had to take lumbering steps with some flopping around. It was not a vulture and stood about 5 ft high on the rock, had a hooked beak, was coal black with a bright orange head, and had eyes two inches across. Eventually it got in the air, spreading its 20-22 ft wingspan, to catch the 90-degree summer thermals, and flew off to the north.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "The Western Bigfoot Society Newsletter."

Points to consider:

Though it appeared in a well known ufology catalogue, this story has obviously nothing to do with ufology!

As for the story, this coule have been just an exagerated story of a kid meeting an eagle.
