“It was Kankles Clinton...”
Right look-wrong timeline.I wonder where Helen Thomas was on the night in question?

No, it can’t be Helen, she started her career using a hammer and chisel.

People see some funny things at night. Has this been seen since 1903?

Rodan

A giant pterydactyl is hatched out of a coalmine and wreaks havoc all over Japan.

That beam of light was probably a miner’s lamp that he wore when flying at night.

I thought Helen Thomas was younger than that.

Van Meter, IA is the birthplace of “Rapid Robert,” Bob Feller late of the Cleveland Indians. Van Meter is about 15 miles due West of Des Moines.

Obviously the photo of this “monster” was photoshopped in 1903.

I read, many years ago, a newspaper account from the 1880s,of two cowboys seeing a flying monster back then. There were also tales of flying machines abducting cattle back then.

Opium dreams?

Note the sun is behind the “monster”, but there is no shadow on the opposing side of the building, but there is on the front.

So the sun is actually coming from the upper right.
