I want whatever they are taking 
In a bizarre incident that has captivated the public's imagination, a video titled "'Pterodactyl' seen in sky over Alaska" has gone viral, showcasing an enormous bird reported by witnesses to resemble a pterodactyl. Descriptions from onlookers paint a picture of a creature as large as a light airplane, igniting comparisons to the legendary Loch Ness monster. In the video, viewers hear from a bush pilot and his passengers who spotted the creature while flying over a remote area of Southwestern Alaska. The pilot, John Booker, estimates the wingspan to be around 14 to 15 feet, far exceeding that of the bald eagle, which is the national bird of the U.S. Witnesses were shocked by the size, claiming it was at least four times larger than a bald eagle. Adding to the intrigue, Phil Skemp, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, noted that no bird with a wingspan that large has been verified in the last 100,000 years. The speculation is that the creature could be a Stellar Sea Eagle, known as the largest species of eagle, which can have a maximum wingspan of 8 feet. However, Booker insists what he observed was significantly bigger and entirely brown, indicating it might not be a species typically found in the area. Booker remarked that he initially mistook the enormous bird for another airplane due to its size. His experience, having flown over Alaska for over two decades, leads him to firmly believe that what he witnessed was extraordinary and not to be taken lightly. This fascinating event has prompted discussion about cryptozoology—the study of animals that are rumored to exist but are not recognized by conventional science.
