Pterosaurs Still Living First Interview of Gideon |
|
Island boy frightened by ropen!
A few years before this interview, when he was a child, Gideon and some other boys went to a lake on their island. He described how one very large creature (they call it “ropen”) flew over the water. The boys ran home in terror.
This videotaped interview was examined by the forensic videographer, Jonathan Whitcomb, CCV, who made an analysis of the believability of the young man’s testimony. Whitcomb claims this testimony is extremely credible.
Contrary to some claims, the idea that pterosaurs still live on some islands of Papua New Guinea is not well countered by any reference to the large bat know as “flying fox”. On the islands where there are accounts and testimonies of very large flying creatures, the natives are perfectly aware of flying foxes. They have another name for this large bat, but locals use the word “ropen” for a larger nocturnal flying creature that is a predator and scavenger. The witnesses who describe the ropen, have obviously not been seeing a flying fox or any other known bat. (What is a ropen?)

This interview took place not many years after Gideon was terrified at the sight of the ropen flying over a crater lake. |
|
The two translators were convinced of the truthfulness of the young man’s testimony about the large ropen. |
|
Gideon nervously recounted his experience: a rare daytime sighting of a giant creature |
|
All things considered, the facial expressions of this young man are very likely due to his honestly retelling a frightening experience. |
|
Two translators were used. They were both experienced in this type of interview. They believed his testimony. |

“The demeanor of this witness is truly impressive.” J. Whitcomb, Certified Court Videographer (AGCV) |
