Text Box:  Pterosaur in South Carolina
   
   Susan Wooten, of  Greenville, South 
   Carolina, has agreed to have her name
   released as a witness of an apparent
   living pterosaur. The creature flew over
   a highway near a swamp in a remote
   area of South Carolina in about 1989.
   She was interviewed (by email) late
   in 2007, by Whitcomb, and her credi-
   bility was deemed sufficient to have
   her account publicized.

Second Edition of SFR

   The second edition of the book “Searching
   For Ropens,” by Jonathan Whitcomb, is
   now on sale online. It has two new chapters
   and additional sighting reports. (See below
   under the heading “Pterodactyloids.”)

        Destination Truth

   This adventure series, produced by Neil and 
   Michael Mandt, included one ropen expedi-
   tion in Papua New Guinea: searching for 
   evidence of the creatures. One night, the 
   team videotaped what seems to have been 
   a ropen in the distance. The video footage 
   was shown to three scientists in the U.S.; 
   none of them could explain the glowing 
   object. This episode of Destination Truth
   was broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel in
   June of 2007.

   Jacob Kepas was interviewed by Josh Gates
  (leader of the expeditions). Kepas went
   with the team to Salamaua, where there
   have been many reports of the creatures. 
   
   Late in 2006,  Jonathan Whitcomb had
   been consulted, as the production team 
   was preparing for departure.

   The Destination Truth series, in general,
   received a good rating of 7.6 on TV.com.

  Pterodactyloids in New  
  Britain, Papua New Guinea

   The second edition of Searching for 
   Ropens gives details about the testimonies 
   of three Americans who saw creatures 
   that they described in terms suggesting 
   Pteranodons. (They’re not ropens.) For 
   more information, see  the news report on: 
   “Pterodactyloids of  New Britain Island.”

   This is the same island where, in 2004, a
   giant “dinosaur” kind of creature frightened
   many natives. See also the PSL report on
   the Pterodactyloid “candidate.”


  Scientific Report Finished
   
   Clifford Paiva, a missile defense physicist,
   with access to sophisticated image process-
   ing equipment, completed his 41-page
   report. It included deep analysis of the
   video footage recorded by Paul Nation in
   November of 2006.
