Over the past 18 years, I’ve encountered hundreds of reports of apparent modern pterosaurs, also called “flying dinosaurs” and “dragons”. Most of these have been direct contacts I’ve had with the eyewitnesses themselves, not the second-hand or third-hand accounts. Over many years, I’ve noticed that the vast majority of these encounters have been without any obvious evidences of ill intent on the part of the flying creatures: no apparent attacks or aborted attacks against people. Yet I have also noticed the exceptions, and this now troubles me. On occasion, a person is in danger, sometimes resulting in injury and even death, although the evidence has mostly been circumstantial and less often first-hand reports given to me.
From a Youtube video (Live Stream) about dangerous modern pterosaurs, especially about one attack in Oklahoma
Here’s part of a recent report I received regarding an attack against a four-year-old girl in western Oklahoma in 1977 (with minor editing for correct English and for keeping to the most important points):
I was four years old. My siblings (I am the last of five) just left for school. . . . 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. . . . the wings [had the] same color but like a bat.
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 . . .
That is a small part of the report that this lady sent me recently (early 2021), and she made it clear that this huge flying creature could easily have carried her away if it had gotten hold of her. She believes she is alive today because she ducked down close to the ground at the right time during that attack.
She mentioned something to me that led me to believe she thinks at least one other child in her area has been attacked and went missing without people realizing what happened.

Attacks From a Ropen in New Mexico?
. . . when human lives are in danger we need action. . . . Those trying to make sense of those missing persons in New Mexico could have been completely ignorant of attacks from large flying creatures in Mexico and in British Columbia, Canada. Yet why should Americans be immune to similar attacks in wilderness areas of the United States?

“Pterodactyl Attacks are Dangerous“
Youtube video on the channel Protect Animal Life:
Modern pterosaurs, often called “pterodactyls” have been encountered by people around the world, and the vast majority of encounters have been without any apparent danger to the persons who have observed these featherless flying creatures, according to Jonathan Whitcomb. Unfortunately, there appear to be exceptions . . .
.
The case of missing-child Garrett Bardsley has barely enough evidence to even mention in regard to potential attacks from a North American ropen. But even if only one child can be saved from being a victim, it will be worth all the efforts we can muster.

Missing Children Found in Caves
Before getting into the missing-persons cases of Mike McDonald in Arizona and Timothy Farmer in Australia, consider other reports that tie caves to ropens (or other modern pterosaurs). . . .
.
Many years ago, a native fisherman in Papua New Guinea was attacked by what his people call a “kor”. Many years before that attack, apparently, the natives stopped fishing at night because of the danger from those flying creatures.

Do flying creatures attack people in Yosemite?
. . . These weird disappearances are not confined to Yosemite, nor even to the United States. Several factors do seem to tie together cases that are separated by long distances and sometimes separated by decades. To understand what may be happening in Yosemite National Park, we need to see in a broader sense. Look to Canada and to Mexico.

Do modern pterosaurs attack people?
The ancient Israelites, at the time of Moses, were terrified by the fiery flying serpent that caused many human deaths. 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 . . .
