The Antwerp Bee-Argus newspaper (Aug 5, 2009 issue) gave an account of two sightings over the Maumee River, Ohio: 2002 and 2003, both in the daylight heat of summer. (More detailed information is in my book Live Pterosaurs in America, published two weeks before the newspaper article.)

When I first interviewed the young man, years ago, the amazing description made me hesitate publishing it; after studying the details, however, I included it in my book, for this eyewitness is credible, describing a real creature that he observed. I also stand by my opinion that his description of a flexible tail came from his observation of a stiff tail that moved back and forth with the unusual flight pattern of the creature as it was trying to catch sparrows over the river: Tail-flexibility was an optical illusion but the eyewitness saw a real creature.
