Live Pterodactyl in Kansas

Gitmo Pterosaur of Guantanamo Bay Cuba, sighting in 1965

By the investigative journalist Jonathan Whitcomb

On February 21, 2020, I found a long comment under my Youtube video “Pterodactyl in a Jungle”, a detailed sighting report of a huge ropen seen in about the year 1994 in Garden City, Kansas. Here is part of that report:

I was playing outside with my siblings and uncle. . . . I was running home on a dirt road when I noticed it above me. It was about the size of a small plane. . . . about 30 ft. long.

There were no feathers on it for sure, it had a long tail with a triangle at the tip, and a crest on top of it’s head. The wings were like that of a bat- you know membrane and the beak was long and on the thinner side.

It was so large as it flew/glided (more glided) above me . . . it was dark in color . . . probably dark gray. I was not scared but frozen in awe. I watched it until it disappeared off into the horizon.

I remember even at that age knowing that people would think I was crazy if I recounted my story. . . . This is what I saw, it’s inexplicable and unbelievable, yet it happened. . . . the weather was clear . . . What I saw was clear as day. It was about as high up as the telephone wires . . .

Here’s the video itself:

Be aware that this flying creature on New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea, is a living pterosaur, even though it is apparently not a ropen, for it does not have a long tail.

Living Pterosaurs

For generations, Americans and other people in Western nations have been indoctrinated into believing that all species of certain basic types of living things became extinct millions of years ago, the two most notable types being dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

 

Sightings of Living Pterosaurs (previously unpublished)

By the modern-pterosaur expert Jonathan Whitcomb

Not all the sighting reports, that I’ve received over the past 14 years, are yet published online. Some can be found in cryptozoology books like Searching for Ropens and Finding God, but others are not yet available to the public. Let’s consider previously unpublished sighting reports of apparent living pterosaurs, starting with a daylight encounter in the United States, even though the encounter itself is not recent.

Boise area of Idaho, about 1975

[I’ve done no editing of this eyewitness report except to cut out a few sentences at the beginning.]

When it was standing up out in a field it appeared to be a man off in the distance. It had to have been the height of a man maybe around 6′ tall.

My dad and I was wondering what that man was doing out in the middle of a field while we was going down the road. It looked like he was all dressed in black and seemed out of place with no cattle or horses. It gave us conversation.

We figured he was looking at the ground about crops or something. Until we got closer when it spread wings and flew off the ground. You can only imagine how shocked and surprised we was when it took off and wasn’t a man at all.

Its wings had been closed hugged to the body similar to how a bat has theirs. It took it awhile to get up very high because at first we thought it might hit us it was flying so low to get itself up more.

It went right over us, I’m trying to remember the year, in either 1975 or 1976. It was in desert area in the country part of Boise, Idaho and it finally got high elevation and flew towards the mountains.

The one we saw had a short wide beak and short crest on the head. As big as it was we figured others surely saw it besides us. I’m almost wondering now how many times us and others might actually be seeing these things high above thinking it’s only an eagle or vulture and give it no second thought.

Sighting in Iraq in 2007

Hello there, my name is Charles. . . . (Northern California). I just wanted to share an account of myself witnessing a bioluminescent pterodactyl/saur. This event occurred when I was a soldier deployed overseas. The exact occurrence was at night in 2007 at the vicinity of Ar-Ramadi, Iraq.

Kansas (three eyewitnesses)

The following short email I got early in September of 2017:

A total of 3 witnesses, including myself, saw what appeared to be a pterodactyl. The sighting happened west of Cheyenne Bottoms, Kansas during the early afternoon hours.

Live Pterosaur in Kansas

I received a message the other day, through one of my blogs: two eyewitnesses of an apparent “dragon” flying overhead at night. Here is part of the report:

. . . my wife and I were leaving the small town of Hudson, Kansas . . . traveling on a rural [two-lane] highway. There was a row of trees along side the road on the North . . . As we approached the end of the tree row, something huge took to the air from the top of the tree row. . . . I said “what the Hell is that?” My wife said . . . “It looked like a dragon.” . . . We sure saw something huge.

I had received previous reports of apparent pterosaurs in Kansas, the following one recorded in the third edition of my cryptozoology book Live Pterosaurs in America (third edition):

“My friend and I were talking and I mentioned that I had seen an extremely large bird that resembled a pterodactyl some years ago when [I was] driving to town from the family farm [in Kansas] . . . I immediately thought of a prehistoric bird when I saw it. It must have had a wing-span of 16-20 feet.

“I asked my friend what kind of bird it could have been. We looked at pictures on the internet to see if we could figure anything out. I know he thought I had a vivid imagination, etc. So I decided to check further and ran across this site. I was amazed to find a lot written about others who claim to have seen such a bird. . . .” [Note that some eyewitnesses use the word “bird” when they actually mean something resembling a pterosaur.]

Pterodactyl Alive

An American World War II veteran says that he saw a live “pterodactyl” in New Guinea in 1944 . . . Natives on the island of Umboi (in Papua New Guinea) have reported the same thing: the long-tailed bat-like “ropen” eats fish. This is just north of Finschhafen, where the American veteran saw a giant pterodactyl that had a tail “at least ten to fifteen feet long.”
