I am not denying you saw what you saw, There have been enough people reporting these large birds for at least an investigation into the phenomena. I am saying that I know birds of prey and they do not go around sticking their claws into the earth in tripod-like patterns. You need to know the biology and investigate the strangenesses. It must be due to some other reason because if it is a bird of prey, it is not caused by that - at least if it is a biological entity. Can you imagine any bird going around on tiptoe? Apart from the fact it would be like a ballerina, they would have to have super big muscles to take the weight on a point of a talon which has to be needle-sharp because it needs to grip its prey. I dont even know if you could bend a foot so that all the talons went into the ground in a tripod because they are curved and there are 4 of them NOT 3.

Not everyone by any means. There are only a few people on this forum who need proof and dont believe in this stuff.

I have never heard of this but you have mentioned it a few times in the past. Can you remember where you read this please?

Yes, when I first started researching I compiled a list using multiple sources of consistent reported evidence, with the idea that unless I could connect a scientific hypothesis with each one; I was never going to share my thoughts publicly; connecting what I saw to the mutilations. There ended up being 21 consistent findings & the scorched/charred grass & caustic liquid were two of them.

From the Denver Post:

Snippy had been skinned in a bizarre way. The cuts were sharp and precise. There was no blood at the scene. Snippy’s owner said when she touched the horse’s flesh, it oozed green fluid that burned her skin.

This was initially one of the harder evidence findings to relate to "bird" or "raptor" ... until I read the FBI reports regarding the bacteria Clostridium being found in the cattle tissues.

After that I researched bird digestion & the dots started to connect:

Vultures are natural reservoirs for Clostridium. Vulture gastric acid has a pH only slightly above zero. Lower than car battery acid. Vultures also vomit on their meals to keep other predators away. A normal sized vulture or even several vultures would not be able to leave the volume of acid, enough to puddle & scorch the ground at the mutilation sites ... but an extremely large avian with a GI system similar to the vulture could.

Once I realized this after researching; I was able to cross those findings off the list. I had found a plausible hypothesis. What I saw must have a feeding & digestive system capable of leaving oozing puddles of liquid that burn the skin & is capable of scorching the grass.
