Why do Pterodactyls Attack People?

By Jonathan D. Whitcomb

On December 2, 2023, I uploaded to YouTube a video that now looks like it could become viral or at least attain the rank of “mini-viral”. If you’d like to watch it while remaining on this blog, click below and you’ll remain on this post:

Without the late Brent Sawin interviewing Frank Sicilia, we would not have this important video footage of this eyewitness and his testimony. Thank you to all who made possible this disclosure to the world.

Three cousins were fishing at night in Pennsylvania when they were attacked by a huge flying creature. Frank estimated the wingspan: between twenty and twenty-two feet.

It hovered for a short while before diving down toward them, and those dives numbered at least twelve to fifteen times. One of the fishermen left, and the other two, including Frank, remained with their fishing lines and kept whacking the legs and lower body of the flying creature each time it came down.

Preschool Girl Attacked in Oklahoma

The eyewitness contacted me and related the terrifying details: When she was a small child, in daylight as she was walking to her house in rural Oklahoma, a huge hairy flying creature, with teeth in its mouth, dived down towards her. Fortunately, she ducked down to the ground just in time and escaped.

Pterodactyl Sightings in the U.S.A.

It was the summer of 1977 and I was 17 at the time. I was fishing at a gravel pit in Heyworth, IL and the dawn had just [broken]. . . . As I stood there a creature glided down from my right to just above water level directly in front of me, no more than 50′ from where I was. . . .

I realized this was no ordinary bird but appeared more like a featherless reptile.

Ropen Danger to Children – Big Flying Creature

Is it possible that a ropen with a wingspan of about 16-18 feet could have carried away a two-year-old boy in southern Arizona, in 1945? About 24 hours after his disappearance, he was found alive, sleeping in a dug-out hole in the ground 15 miles from where he went missing.

Pterodactyls ALIVE in the USA!

Apparent modern living pterosaurs, a.k.a. “pterodactyls” or “dinosaur birds”, have been seen in North America for centuries, including sightings in the United States of America. The following are the locations covered . . .

New Pterodactyl Sighting Reports

These two encounters are described here in this video on the “Protect Animal Life” channel. First was a terrifying pterodactyl sighting in Washington state, with Mom and Dad suddenly realizing that their whole family could be in danger. Second was an encounter in Topeka, Kansas, and the wingspan was as wide as the street.

Loss Aversion and Living Pterosaurs

I now write about a cognitive bias, loss aversion, that appears to have had a major influence over a critic of my research. Since I am diving into a potential weakness in this man’s thinking, I do not mention his name.

Flying Dinosaur in Canada – I saw a Pterodactyl

. . . here is one such account of an encounter with such a flying creature (in part): “I saw something similar to a pterosaur in Maple Ridge, British Columbia Canada. It was approximately 1 a.m., in the summer of either 2013 or 2014. . . . What appeared to be a pterosaur flew past, it was high up in the sky, and I just spotted the GIANT wings”.
