What will it take for a species of modern living pterosaur to graduate from cryptozoology to zoology? An important step for that flying creature will be videotaping a natural activity, such as catching food.
How does the ropen of Umbo Island carry a heavy giant clam from a reef to the shore? How I would love to videotape that! We have learned from natives on the southern coast that the large clam shells that they find there were not brought up from the reef by the natives but by the ropen. But how the nocturnal flying creature carrys them—that is the mystery.
How does the ropen’s bioluminescence work? We have video footage from Paul Nation and from the Destination Truth team, recorded in 2006 and 2007 respectively. We know that the flying lights are not meteors or airplane lights. We have received reports that different parts of the flying creature’s body can glow independently. How I would love to videotape that in detail!
Are Marfa Lights the bioluminescent glow of nocturnal flying predators, a species similar to the ropen of Papua New Guinea? How we need video footage that shows the wings of those predators beating the air!
Does the “Gitmo Pterosaur” of Cuba feed on rats in the palm trees at night? We need more than speculation; we need video footage of that activity.
When we have detailed, clear video evidence for any of the above activities, then a modern living pterosaur will be in the graduation line, perhaps next to the Bigfoot. But each one needs to carry that diploma at the end of the ceremony: Clear videotaped evidence of a natural activity.

In the scientific paper “Reports of Living Pterosaurs in the Southwest Pacific” we read (in a peer-reviewed journal):
“In 2004 I interviewed Duane Hodgkinson, of Montana . . . He and an army friend were in a jungle clearing west of Finschhafen . . . in 1944 . . . something ‘huge’ took off into the air from the far side of the clearing. The creature ran to their left, taking six to ten steps to get airborne . . .”
Marfa Lights – Living Nightmare – Attack in the Dead of Winter
“Remember your worst nightmare? Were you glad to wake up? Be grateful. In the early morning hours of February 23, 2010, a few miles or so southwest of Marfa, Texas, the victims were terrified by what awakened them.” [speculation on possible nocturnal flying predators that feed on bats]
