PSL Identification Evaluation # 1 (Question “C”) |
|
Administered to D.H. (living in Montana) in August 2004. (Received by J. Whitcomb by mail) The purpose of this question “C” 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. (Confirming “A” through a slightly different appearance)
On this page, D.H. volunteered: “If the beak was up more either 11 or 12 would be representative.” - This seems to correlate with his statement on “A” in regard to how the head was carried in flight. (more parallel to the neck and body) |
|
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 its appearance. |
|
Of these four, D.H. chose “11” and “12” as being closer than the others. |

When Duane Hodgkinson saw the creature fly up from the jungle clearing (near Finschhafen, New Guinea, 1944) he thought of the pterodactyl in the Ally Oop cartoon strip (popular newspaper cartoon of the mid-20th Century).
