"I sometimes encounter a criticism such as this: “A living pterosaur would not disprove evolution. It would just be another example of an ancient species that survived.” That appears simple and airtight, appearently proving me and my associates to be fools to think that an extant pterosaur would relate to the conflict between “religion and science.” One problem with that reasoning is with the word “evolution.” That word some people assume to precisely refer to gradual shifting of biological forms; few people know that the word itself is a shape-shifter." See "Do Live Pterosaurs Disprove Evolution."

"Since the two ropen expeditions of 2004, in Papua New Guinea, more Americans have become exposed to the living-pterosaur investigations and the many resulting eyewitness interviews. Many web pages have sprung up, many of them by explorers themselves. But despite other web pages, by scornful critics who never went anywhere and never interviewed anyone, these two expeditions, and those that preceded and followed them, are causing an awakening, the birth of a new perspective about extinction-
assumptions regarding pterosaurs."

Press Releases on Live Pterosaurs

From title page of the nonfiction pterosaur book LIVE PTEROSAURS IN AMERICA:

The American world War II veteran
Duane Hodgkinson is interviewed,
telling us of his amazing encounter
with a giant "pterodactyl" in 1944 in
New Guinea.

"Late in 2006, I interviewed Paul Nation in his home in Granbury, Texas, just days after he had returned from Papua New Guinea. I videotaped the interview and made a digital copy of the video footage of the two indava lights. A copy was later given to the physicist Cliff Paiva, who analyzed the lights and found them to be anything but ordinary: Not meteors, airplanes, car headlights, lanterns, or campfires. And a hoax it was not." Pterosaur Expedition
