About 3 weeks ago, A friend and I were on my back porch here in Rural Covington, Louisiana when we both saw a huge bird that looked like a Pterodactyl fly over my property at about 200 feet elevation. It had a long beak with a rear ward protruding crest behind its head, the wings were very bat like and I could see two feet extending rearwards behind the bird. I would estimate the wingspan to be approx. 8 to 10 feet across. I could not see any feathers on it. . . .

Pterodactyl Sightings in Utah – an introduction
From Jordan Henrichs:
Wow! Those are the stories that I like when more than one person sees the same pterosaur! I really like it when you do a video interview, you can see the person’s expressions and emotions that help to authenticate the sighting.
From Static X:
I had a sighting in Oklahoma. I researched to make sure I didn’t see a large crane know in these parts. It was NOTHING close to a bird. It flapped twice though… once to get in the air and once to disappear in the trees. . . .

Pterosaur Sightings in South Carolina
From Stetson Gray: [slightly edited for English]
I got my own story: My dad and I were driving down this back road in SC and we saw these gigantic bird things. Let me add we were like half a mile away, maybe a little further, but they had to be like almost 10 feet tall because it was just so easy to see them from far away. We stopped in the road because we were shocked seeing a bird so huge. We got closer. It was like a greyish brown, and had some blue on its head. Its head was long and its wings were really skinny but it was shaped like a stretched M. It wasn’t flailing them around but just opening and closing the wings. It looked like it was eating something. I vividly remember they were on top of this huge tree, and every time they moved their wings the tree moved . . .

Are Modern Pterosaurs Dangerous?
The following is not a first-hand account but from a native who contacted me by emails in 2010, and he got the story from the grandson of the native fisherman who died three days after being attacked by a kor.

Recent investigations suggest the fiery flying serpent of the Old Testament was not actually a snake but a Rhamphorhynchoid pterosaur. Even more recently, “pterodactyl attacks” against humans in Canada have been reported in a nonfiction cryptozoology book, Bird From Hell, by Gerald McIsaac. This author believes that many human deaths may have been caused by attacks from what some Native Americans in British Columbia call the “devil bird.”

Pterodactyl attack in Oklahoma
I was four years old. . . . no clouds . . . early fall. I was walking from the pumphouse/ chicken coop . . . I looked up behind me . . . I know what I saw, because it was less than six feet above me. This thing was huge. I liken his body size to a Volkswagen bug. [It was] covered completely with brown / blackish fur [and had] no feathers. . . . I ducked down just enough, I guess, for it to be a miss for it. I stayed looking up [at it] this entire time. It opened its beak . . . I see teeth and at four I knew that wasn’t right . . .
