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.
"Susan Wooten was driving . . . to the town of Florence, on a clear mid-afternoon in the fall
of about 1989 . . . [She] saw something flying from her left, then passing in front of her . . . 'It swooped down over the highway and back up . . . over the pines . . . as big as any car . . . no feathers.'"
 
“'Definitely no feathers—this thing was . . . maybe 20 ft. (?) above & 25 ft. (?) in front of me.'” (Wooten account)

"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 Borrago sighting,
about 1991, Southern California)

Other U.S. Sightings:
"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." (San Antonio,Texas)
Astonishing Eyewitness
Accounts of Pterosaurs
Almost all of these accounts are now published, in a book,
for the first time. And very few of these encounters have ever been published online. The details of these sightings are compared by the author, who has spent years of study on sightings of live pterosaurs.
