Living pterosaurs, AKA "pterodactyls," have been reported for many decades. This is a brief overview of those sightings. Investigations began in the 1990's with expeditions to Papua New Guinea. After the several more expeditions (2002, 2004, 2006, and 2007) some of the cryptozoologists began following up on reports from closer to home: sightings in the United States. The Americans involved with searches at home and abroad, in recent years, include Paul Nation, Garth Guessman, Jonathan Whitcomb, and David Woetzel.
