Giant Insect Seen on Passenger Flight Totally believable. Unidirectional air flow to it’s trachea adaptation. The red veins is interesting because this suggests it has changed from green copper-rich fluid to hemoglobin based. These are the UFOs responsible for cat and cattle mutilations. It’s these that have evolved into Mothman-type entities. Fantastic details. Thanks for sharing. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Other passengers were also drawing the giant flying insect. The best representation was in oil paint, but it can't be released as it is not dry yet.
CZN trying to trump the Weekly World News below, eh? Aside from being less palm-friendly, I bet it doesn't like carrots as much, either, which is surely going to lose points and pet-appeal with the pony girls market. http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/41015/worlds-biggest-insect http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...sect-Heaviest-world-weighs-3-times-mouse.html
Sounds like those passengers were served one too many grasshoppers. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
This insect has evolved jet-powered flight. It's trachea tubes are not dead-ended like all other known insects but straight tubes which go through from the one end to it the other. Not only does this vastly increase oxygen uptake efficiency but the unidirectional flow allows for pressurization during this process, so that the air can be expelled at a much greater velocity than it's entry speed. Wow It's rounded shape and beetle-like features fit with the numerous UFO sightings of metallic looking 'ships'. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

What a beautiful sight, seeing it dancing on the wing of a passenger aircraft. No wonder the passengers all got their drawing pads out.
You DO realize the kind of thermal reaction needed to achieve such powerful jet propulsion don't you? What would keep this bug from burning up or possibly even being exploded from the inside pressures? I don't know WHAT those passengers actually saw. I chalk it up to one of those fortean interdimensional quirks. Like fish falling from a clear blue sky after the sound of an electrical zap. Maybe sometimes preternatural critters fall into our dimension thru randomly opening/closing portals. Who knows? It's interesting in any case.. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Fantastic image MR! Like it. You raise some interesting points. Let's not underestimate the power of nature and evolution. The cold air flow over the body and through it would provide a perfect heat sink. They saw what they said they saw. A giant metallic-looking perfectly round bug, that if seen from a distance would resemble a metallic craft.

I just had the thought that the "sea serpent" seen at very close range by the crew of HMS Daedalus is most likely to be the aquatic nymph of a giant flying insect. This nymph was reported to be around 60 feet long. This original paper is amazing in the details of a kind of mane behind the head, Nessie-like, as well as no fins or undulations. It propelled itself in a perfectly straight which fits with the jet-powered trachea idea. Original HMS Daedalus Sea Serpent Sighting Report (1826) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
