PSL Identification Evaluation # 1  (Question “A”)

Administered to D.H. (living in Montana) in August 2004. (Received by J. Whitcomb

by mail) The purpose of this question “A” is to determine the approximate length of

the appendage reported by D.H. as being at the back of the head of the creature  he

saw near Finschhafen, New Guinea (now the country of Papua New Guinea) in 1944.

 

On this page, D.H. volunteered: “While in flight the head was not inclined down

as depicted - was more streamlined with the neck” - This seems to indicate that

the creature was flying with the appendage closely over its back, parallel or nearly

parallel to the neck..

Live pterosaur seen

(Australian saw creature

on Bougainville Island,

Papua New Guinea)

All other aspects of the appearance of these drawings are not to be taken as similar to the actual appearance of

the creature reported as being seen by D.H.  (They were not drawn by D.H.)  Each page is meant to gain better

knowledge of one aspect of the appearance of the live pterosaur or “pterodactyl.”

Out of these four, figure “04” was chosen by D.H.

Hodgkinson, of Montana, called the creature a “pterodactyl.”

 

Duane Hodgkinson contacted Jonathan Whitcomb in 2004 and agreed to fill out the questionnaire that proved helpful to ropen investigators. Later that year, Whitcomb traveled to Umboi Island, Papua New Guinea, and searched for the bioluminescent ropen. Garth Guessman and David Woetzel followed Whitcomb to the island, later in 2004.
