I have the heebie jeebies now. 
"A Belgian chopper pilot called Remy Van Lierde took the photo during a patrol over the Republic of Congo in 1959. The snake he witnessed has been estimated to be anywhere from around 40-50 feet long. It was possible to estimate the size of the snake because of the many features on the ground in the images taken.
It was described by the pilot as a dark shade of brown and green with a white coloured belly. The jaws were of triangular shape. The pilot claimed the head was a massive 3 feet wide adding that as he cautiously moved in lower for a closer inspection the snake raised itself in the air as high as maybe 10 feet, looking like it may attack the helicopter.
After much expert analysis the images taken of this 'Giant Congo Snake' were deemed to be genuine."

. I'd hate to think that snakes that size actually do exist - that is too freaky. 
It's sort of deceiving though, I wish I could make out the details around the picture, it could be shot from 3 feet up and just be a baby snake. i want to believe its a giant snake though - that is just way more interesting.
