I do love people that double-down on their own crazy.  And of course, it would be happening in Florida.  Back in April, Cristina Ryan's home security camera captured a video image of some sort of tailed creature running through her backyard.  And like any reasonable and sane person, Ryan IMMEDIATELY jumped to the conclusion that it was a dinosaur.

And what about now?  You know, now that's she's had two months to think about it and do some research?  “There has never been an answer to what it was. Even despite asking neighbors. We are all still convinced it’s a dinosaur. … Maybe I’ve watched Jurassic Park too many times — but I see a raptor or other small dinosaur.”   NICE.  It's Florida.  Never mind it could be a Komodo Dragon or any number of other large lizard, it HAS to be "a raptor." <g>
