Pterosaurs Still Living
"Reports of huge flying “pterodactyls” in American skies have floated around the internet for years; but before about 2005, details were scarce. When an eyewitness
was named, the interviewer was often anonymous; even when an eyewitness was credible, and the account published in a newspaper, the story was ridiculed,
discouraging others who had also seen strange flying creatures. Where could eyewitnesses go? What a predicament for them! Who would believe their reports?"

Excerpts: Chapter 3
“ . . . It was probably 1982 when me and
my older brother were sitting in our carport
at Union Village Apartments, in Texarkana,
AR. It was getting dark but there was plenty
of light in the sky when we saw what we
believe to be a pterodactyle. The wingspan
seemed to be about 25’ to 30’ [feet] wide. It
was probably about 70’ [feet] to 80’ off the
ground, flying over a large tree in front of
the house. I never saw the wings flap; it
just glided on air. The incident was very
brief but nonetheless was an awesome
sight to see. If someone would have told
me that they had seen a creature like that,
I doubt I would have believed the story until
I saw it for myself.”
From another eyewitness:
“ . . . what I saw I remember distinctly and
will never forget. I was twenty years old,
taking a camping trip with my boss and his
friends, . . . [probably] near the Maryland-
Virginia line in the Chesapeake area. We
were tubing [inner-tube] in the river, some
time in the morning or early afternoon. . . .
My boss and I suddenly saw . . . a flying
object that was strange. . . . we knew it was
quite far away, but it was as big as a regular
bird would appear up close. It was gliding,
with an occasional slow, smooth flap. We
were talking about it, but, as it approached,
words ceased, and amazement took over.”
How did Living Pterosaurs
Avoid Scientific Discovery
for so Many Decades?
From the author Jonathan Whitcomb:
“Since the time of Darwin, many scientists
have assumed that some general types
of animals became extinct long ago. One
of the assumptions is that all species of
dinosaurs and pterosaurs died off before
any humans existed.
“Actual human experience, however, gives
us a different picture: At least hundreds of
thousands of eyewitnesses worldwide have
seen living pterosaurs, and real science
must progress with human experience.”
