Recent Reports of Non-Extinct Pterosaurs

By modern-pterosaur expert Jonathan Whitcomb

The following two eyewitness reports may have limited relevance to strange missing-persons cases in North America, yet the potential danger of attacks from related flying creatures makes them worthy of note. Each report is given only in part here. I’ve also edited them for punctuation, spelling, etc.

Be aware that “recent” refers to when I received the reports, not when the eyewitnesses encountered the apparent pterosaurs.

Sighting in New Jersey

After communicating with her through emails, I had a long phone conversation with this eyewitness. I concluded that her honesty credibility is very high (this is no hoax). Her sighting was in Long Valley, New Jersey, in about 2016, and she reported it to me in June of 2018.

She wants to be anonymous for now, because of her present employment, yet she told me that she will, when that changes, allow her name to be used in publications on this subject of living pterosaurs.

At about 4:00 a.m., or a little before, she stopped her car at a stop sign. The huge flying creature then hopped over to her car and looked through the glass right into her eyes. She described this animal to me and mentioned that it was bigger than her car.

[It made a] slow gesture . . . when it tilted the head to look inside of the car, it looked at me. I was so taken by that specific move that I was still and frozen into its eyes. I did not want to take my eyes away from what I was seeing. I did not want to check anything else because I did not want to loose that specific moment of who was starring at me.

. . . It made unusual gestures when it opened the leathery wing. It pulled a bit back from the side of the window [and] kind of stretched to get tall and . . . then it stretched the wings. It made three [movements] to open the wings: bat leathery thick wings . . . I realized that this thing was huge . . .

Sighting in Central California

In about 2004, two eyewitnesses saw an apparent pterosaur in Kerman, which is about 15 miles west of Fresno, California. The following is a small portion of an email I received from one of those eyewitnesses. (Both of these persons is anonymous. One of them may have been attempting to steal cable service, from a telephone pole, at the time of the pterosaur sighting.)

. . . the kid on the ground is pointing in the sky and said LOOKOUT. I was still transferring to the other side of the pole, but I was looking and here it came. Funny thing about it is it was very dark out but I could see him and his colors very well. . . . his wings were I’d say 14 feet wingspan. As he was coming down towards me, his wings were wide open kind [like a] parachute.

. . . his wings were very similar to bat wings. He had hands in the middle his wings and a claw on the wings like bats do . . .

I suspect that these two eyewitnesses in central California saw a bioluminescent pterosaur.

Modern pterosaurs in New Jersey

[The wings had] like black brown smooth skin.

Pterodactyl in New Jersey

It had huge wings like a bat, it was like a dark brown color. There was no feathers at ALL. The body was black, with short or no hair. It had a very slim body and a small tail.

Living Pterosaurs in California

For at least the second time in the past nine months, somebody has reported a flying “dragon” in Los Angeles County. I don’t know that they are the same species, but a few similarities deserve attention . . .

Missing Persons and Living Pterosaurs

When a person is alone in a wilderness area in the United States, a large hungry ropen may attack, subduing the human by a mist or vapor that is debilitating when inhaled by prey. This may explain why human victims, when found alive, are asleep or unconscious or in a state that rescuers may describe as “confused” or “disoriented.”

Pterodactyls alive in California

A 38-year-old woman in a residential neighborhood of Lakewood, California, just northeast of Long Beach, reported a “dragon-pterodactyl” that had no feathers but a long tail with a “dragon” “triangle” at the of that tail.

Strange missing persons cases and pterosaurs

Some of these cases strongly suggest a small number of ropens in North America may be responsible for a small portion of reports of people going missing. Similarities in certain details stretch across decades, and across many hundreds of miles . . .

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.

Attacks in British Columbia

One of the girls in the village was recently attacked by a pterodactyl. She had a campfire burning in her backyard and was attacked in the darkness. . . . She called me up, very upset, as people are laughing at her. [British Columbia, Canada]
