Sighting #1: Connecticut
I received the following email in late July of 2019:
. . . I live in Gales Ferry, CT. It’s in between Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun Casino. In August 2013 at around 5:30 pm, I was working on the the front of my house and I was on a ladder ready to step down. I got off the ladder and looked up towards the north and saw this Pterosaur flying from East to West. The two things that I noticed right away was the head. It looked exactly like the pictures that you would see as depicted. The second thing I noticed was the wings. There were no feathers, just a light brown “cape” like wing. It was above a smaller bird. I ran inside to get a camera, but it was gone. It was flying towards the Thames River. Some people didn’t believe me when I told them. I know what I saw.
By the way, this eyewitness referred to the Thames River in Connecticut, not the River Thames in England, although we do have sightings in England.

Sighting #2: Minnesota
I believe I saw a Pterosaur last year on July 16, 2018. I had just gotten done shopping at Walmart for some supplies in northwestern Minnesota and was on my way back home. It was between 5 and 5:30 pm and as I got into my car I turned to drive north and I immediately looked up at this flying creature that looked and flew very odd . . .
I didn’t think to look for a tail or even notice one at the time but what I did notice was the way it flapped its wings. The wings seemed to roll or have a wave like form from the body outward to the wing tip. The wings would flap very slowly but the creature did not seem to have any trouble flying. The wings also were shimmering on the top of them reflecting the sunlight. I noticed no feathers at all on it but the rear of the wings were very smooth in a curved shape.

Sighting #3: Ohio
This was around the beginning of June, 2019:
. . . what I saw the other day was remarkable. My mother in law and I were at her land bird watching… we seen a HUGE shadow creep across the ground, we looked up and what we saw will forever be engraved in my brain. We both saw what looked like a dinosaur bird-like
prehistoric animal. There were absolutely no feathers . . .
It was the size of a small private jet. . . . it had enlarged bat like wings . . . I’m … curious of other sighting in or around Ohio. We live in a small town called Franklin . . .

Now we have, in one video, many details on the ropen-pterodactyl sighting in western Minnesota a few years ago: many fascinating points that were not included in the older video.

Pterodactyl Sightings in the USA and Mexico and Cuba
Sightings of modern pterosaurs in Mexico, the United States, and Cuba—these are featured in this mini-documentary on encounters eyewitnesses have had with living “pterodactyls”. Most sightings are of ropens, large featherless “flying dinosaurs” that are very much alive in North America.
