Read the astonishing nonfiction cryptozoology book: Live Pterosaurs in America (third edition) by Jonathan Whitcomb
By the world’s leading expert on reports of living pterosaurs
Other Eyewitness Reports in Texas In the Declaration on Living Pterosaurs page, eleven sightings are listed for the state of Texas, the two most recent encounters being in April of 2017 and on October 10, 2017 (although DLP has been updated many times and it may yet list more sightings in Texas in the future, for the eyewitnesses continue to send in reports). Here’s the report from April of 2017 (anonymous eyewitness HN): Subject: Ropen “I saw one this evening. It was very large and all black . . . I was driving from Houston to Nederland and I was shocked.” Whitcomb: “Thank you, Nina, for telling me about your sighting. I've received many reports from Texas, over the past 13 years. “Did it have a long tail?” HN: “Yes it did... I couldn't believe what I saw. It was the size of an interstate sign... it was black... wings flapped... I don't think it had feathers [It had a] large crest on its head... someone else had to of seen it ...it was in daylight and it flew in the trees... I felt crazy telling my friends about what I saw. . . . One of my friends insisted I report it.”

The truth about pterosaurs: Not all species are extinct
Eyewitness accounts of living pterosaurs in Texas
“I was outside my apartment building . . . talking to my brother. . . . on several occasions, noticed bats flying right near our heads . . . Neither my brother or I was prone to being scared by anything outside at night. This night was different. . . . [page 25, Live Pterosaurs in America] "We noticed something flying around across the road .  . . the creature was flying just above the phone lines. It would go one direction, turn, and swoop back. The shape was wrong for any large bird of the area, and the size was much too large to be any bat . . . The wingspan was huge, anywhere from 6-10 feet across. We watched the thing for maybe twenty minutes or so . . . I get little chills just writing about it now. "This was alive, and watching us, and very, very scary (& I don’t scare easily)."  [San Antonio, Texas, about 1986] Many other eyewitnesses have seen apparent pterosaurs in many states of the USA, including in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, and Texas. Yet these featherless flying creatures have been encountered in other areas of the United States, including California.
Here’s the report from October 10, 2017 (anon. eyewitness JC): Subject: Pterodactyl Sighting In Irving TX “I was on my way to school this morning and I saw a very large flying creature above a nearby woodsy [area]. It had wings, head and tail similar to a pterodactyl and it was gliding above the trees. It was a cloudy morning as well. . . . feel free to contact me if you need any more details!” Whitcomb: “Thank you, Clarissa, for telling me about your sighting. Would you say that the tail was long or short?” JC: “The tail was kind of medium and stretched a bit beyond the legs.” Conclusion What about the other states where eyewitnesses report seeing live pterosaurs? What about California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Kansas, and other states? The more credible sightings are included in Live Pterosaurs in America, not the most fantastic ones. These many sightings span many years. Why not purchase a copy of this book for yourself or as a gift?
two ropens or modern pterosaurs in Cuba in 1971
In the appendix, details of Eskin Kuhn's 1971 sighting in Cuba are revealed. He observed two pterosaurs flying nearby in clear daylight. Early in 2010, he was interviewed by the author and found to be highly credible. This U. S. Marine stands by his testimony: He saw what he saw. This eyewitness sighting report gives further credence to what Americans tell us of their encounters in the USA. Why should large flying creatures be confined by bodies of water?
Marfa Lights of Texas Chapter six is devoted entirely to the Marfa Lights. Before the publication of the second edition of Live Pterosaurs in America, (it’s now its third edition) very little had been written about the possibility that these strange lights in southwest Texas could be made by some unclassified species of bioluminescent predators: nocturnal flying creatures that may hunt, among other things, the Big Brown bat that commonly flies in parts of Texas and Mexico. This chapter of Whitcomb's book delves into this possibility by showing how non- living explanations fail to address strange "dancing" behaviors. The light splittings and rejoinings may be one of the predators' techniques for attracting insects that attract bats. After the insects have congregated around the glowing predators, those creatures separate for awhile; when bats come to feast on those insects, those larger flying predators return for a bat feast.
