I am about to reveal to you a story I have kept secret for a long time.
Fall, 20xx, Hindu Khush, North Pakistan.
Me and a team of explorers were stationed in the Hindu Khush mountains of North Pakistan. To start our trip we first arrived in Chitral stayed there briefly but mingled with the locals. They asked why me and my team of researchers/explorers from US were visiting Chitral; since I speak Urdu I told the man we're here to research wildlife and evolution in this mountainous region.
Days later we take a jeep and travel north, (exact location will not be revealed). After traveling north we reached our destination and set up base camp, the team was exhausted and hungry so we had prepared dinner that night, it put us all in a good mood and gave us the feeling our objective would go well; considering everything up to this point had gone smoothly. A few of us volunteered to stay up for night duty and overlook the base camp, while the the rest of the team went to sleep. I volunteered along with a few other gentlemen. So duty starts we chat get bored and we fall asleep hours later shortly before sunrise.
The next evening part of the team decides to stay at base the, what I will refer to as Team X deployed out and began researching wildlife, taking photos, catching wildlife (we have tranquilizers), testing, etc. I was apart of Team X. The goal was to get back to the base before sunset. Me and three other guys (Team X2, 4 men) had the most dangerous task and that was to study wildlife at night.
The thing about the snowy mountains at night is there is so much snow that it brightens the space and reduces the darkness.
Well, we were adequately equipped to do our task. The rest of Team X returns to base and radios us of this news. Team X2 heads even further North. After walking north for some time we are tired from our exploring and set up a mini-camp, we head to sleep briefly.
We wake up around sunset we deploy again and shortly after 45mn-1hr I spotted what appeared to be a nest. I take out my binoculars and examine from a distance as well as the they guys. We carefully approach this site. We reach the nest and find two very large eggs, literally the size of our heads, they had these weird spots scattered across the shell. Most importantly these eggs were warm to the touch! That indicates recent activity in the nest.
One of the guys made a joke "I'm starving let's boil these eggs" lol. As we intended to do we began examining these eggs, took photos, weighed them, measured them, took feather samples from the nest. After being there for 30mins or so one of the guys spots a magnificently large flying creature, large wing span, and flying high speed, headed in our direction. We panic seeing this we begin packing up to leave but we were spotted by the bird and we all knew then this was the mother. The bird came sweeping down we scattered and it flew circles above our heads making a terrible loud violent sound. We thought to tranquilize it but it was too dangerous and we all fled and met up later.
This bird looks unbelievable neither one of us with all our knowledge never witnessed anything like it. This thing looked like a pterodactyl! I will not describe in details.
But what the team believes we discovered an unknown species of bird that live in Hindu Khush mountains of Pakistan. We investigated the incidient afterwards no mention in records of any bird of this kind.
