Look Inside the Cryptozoology Book
Thrilling accounts of live “pterodactyls”
"Neither my brother or I was prone to being scared . . .
This night was different. . . . the creature was flying just
above the phone lines. It would go one direction, turn, and
swoop back. . . . The wingspan was huge, anywhere from
6-10 feet across." (Texas)
“. . . on a clear mid-afternoon in the fall [1989] . . . [She]
saw something flying from her left, then passing in front
of her . . . 'It swooped down over the highway and back
up . . . as big as any car . . . no feathers.'" (S.C.)
“What caught my eye was the bright radiation like light
coming from the belly of this Pterodactyl looking animal.
I seen it fly right above us maybe 150-200 feet and this
thing wasn’t no bat; it was bigger with large wing span.”
(Southern California)
“I noticed a strange looking bird in the sky . . . like
something straight out of the dinosaurs era. It scared [me]
. . . What stood out was the long pointed head and . . . a
very long tail between the legs and with a ball shaped on
the end of it.” (Wisconsin)
“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’ ft wide. It
was probably about 70’ 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.” (Arkansas)
“I have been haunted for . . . years by what I saw in the
desert. I have never told anyone due to the fact that I was
afraid I would be thought nuts . . . I can't tell you what a
relief it is to know I am not alone.” (Anza Borrego Desert,
Southern California; the eyewitness was relieved to learn
that other Americans had also seen a pterosaur)

Learn the truth for yourself
You be the judge of each of these sighting reports.
Although the author has included each account because of
its own credibility, you decide what you think of each
one; although Whitcomb believes the overall eyewitness
evidence points to more than one species of pterosaurs
living in the U.S., you form your own opinions.
The Book and the Author
Jonathan Whitcomb, before and after writing "Searching
for Ropens, Living Pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea,"
received emails from many eyewitnesses of similar
creatures in the U.S. Four years after returning from his
expedition in Papua New Guinea, he started writing a new
nonfiction: Live Pterosaurs in America. Now you can
read of these encounters Americans have had in
California, Georgia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and many other states. Read their own words about
apparent living pterosaurs.
Expanded third edition of book
This new edition gives you new evidence, more than was
in the first two editions. In particular, the Carson sighting
in Cuba greatly supports Eskin Kuhn’s account:
“I was only a child when I saw it . . . around six years old
. . . We were walking down near the boat yards, headed
home . . . Suddenly it sat up, as if it had been eating
something or resting. The head and upper part of its body,
about a third of the wings at the joint . . . All of us froze
for about five seconds, then it leaned to its left and took
off with a fwap fwap fwap sound . . . The skin was a
leathery, brownish reddish color. It had little [small] teeth,
a LOT of them.”
From a reader in Pennsylvania
“The problem with science is that we think we know it all
and that is far from reality. This book shows courage to
continue the search. If you have an interest in
cryptozoology you should read this.” (Dale S. Reeder of
Pennsylvania; a reader of the first edition of the book)
From a twelve-year-old reader (five stars):
“This book is a great book! This book contains a lot of
sightings and information on living pterosaurs. I highly
recommend this book to anyone who is interested in
living pterosaurs.” (A Kid’s Review: for the first edition
of Live Pterosaurs in America; Amazom.com)
From a reader in Wisconsin:
“. . . there is something here for everyone . . . Once you
start to reading it you won’t want to put it down . . .
amazing and awe inspiring . . . Out of five stars, I’ll give
it all five.” (From Isaac Elekom, who read a proof copy of
the third edition: Five Stars)
Five Stars From “StrangeDream”
“I couldn't put this book down. It is absolutely fascinating
to read about eyewitness accounts of the people who have
seen these creatures. To learn about these testimonies
from such an open minded perspective is refreshing in the
extreme! . . . I highly recommend this book to anyone!
People should know the truth about what is going on. No
one ever hears anything about this unless they conduct
extremely specific internet searches, even then,
information is minimal. Jonathan Whitcomb needs to
write more books!” (for second edition)
U. S. Marine Eskin Kuhn describes his sighting in
detail, in this third edition of the nonfiction book
(sighting at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 1971)
Patty Carson saw the strange flying creature at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba
around 1965 and sketched it more recently. Other eyewitnesses in Cuba confirm
that this flying animal is real and looks exactly like a long-tailed pterosaur would.
