Exclamation If This is Real.....WOW!!!!

Have a read of this....providing the pic hasn't been faked, this is something that should be investigated!!!!. If true, that is one massive snake!!!!

OK......but what if it isn't. Up until 15 years ago, talk of a large deer like animal that people had seen in the forests of Vietnam and Sth China were considered nonsense. Hundreds of pics of the animal, just as murky as this one, and "evidence" of footprints, furs etc, were considered faked, by many reputable biologists and ecologists. Turns out, the animal actually exists....and there were a lot of scientists who had to eat humble pie, for being so sure of themselves and adamant of it's non existence.

What if.....you never really know.

Nah, its a fake. The pic has been doctored. Snakes don't make a bow wave of that shape. But it looks good.

Unless someone actually comes forward to say the pic is a fake, then all that can be said about it is maybe it's real, maybe it's not.

I call fake. Why isn't there any more photo's?
Surely if your up in a chopper / plane at that height, you circle the object for a closer look. (better photo shot)

Looks too clean to be taken inside an aircraft by an amatuer. So I'm calling a professional photo taken outside of an aircraft, but been edited and degraded down to suit the snake part.

Agree with Brett,
that's the simplest argument against any veracity
ONE pic only, i'm pretty confident that anyone capturing a pic such as this wouldn't just use his mobile phone camera, one shot and fly away!
hahahaha
the sad part is i've actually bothered to feed the frenzy by posting here...
admin feel free to dock me one post count

Interesting how images of UFOs, supposed alien creatures, monsters and stuff like that are always grainy or poorly defined...


taking into account what Brett said, it is no doubt a fake. Ofcourse, there's no way in hell I'd want that "creature" to be real

Probably a fake.

But if it's real then I'm glad it's in Borneo and it's quite welcome to stay there.

Cheers

Fake, is my opinion, as for Jen's spiders, I concur.
Just a moment ago I noticed a 5c size spider crawling across the kitchen floor, when I smooshed it with a tissue to kill it and flush it down the loo, it EXPANDED and dropped about 25 BABIES all over the place, DIDNT die after multiple squishes and then I had to chase down all its little babies and squash them all too!

Scumbag little arachnid!

To the MORTEIN CANS! AWAY!
