A giant winged creature that looks like something from Jurassic Park has reportedly been spotted several times in southwest Alaska in recent weeks. 

Moses Kupchiak, 43, a heavy equipment operator, saw the huge bird-like creature flying towards him about two miles away as he worked on his tractor. At first, he thought it was an old plane, but he kept moving toward it, turned left, disappeared over a hill, and disappeared. 

Also, pilot John Booker looked out of the left window during the flight to Manokotak and saw a huge bird-like creature at a distance of 1000 feet (300 m). The creature was estimated to have a wingspan of 14 feet (4.2 m).
