By Jonathan Whitcomb

The following videos, on the Youtube channel “Protect Animal Life”, are some of the more recent ones on eyewitness reports on these flying creatures, many of which live in North America:

New Pterodactyl Sighting Report From Colorado (girl on horseback)

The huge flying creature flew by them, close to the ground, fortunately seeming to ignore the horse and rider; perhaps it was hunting different prey (after all, some humans on horseback have guns but wild animals on the plains and domestic cattle can be safer prey for an apparent modern pterodactyl).

Pterodactyl Sightings NOT Birds Misidentified

Can someone see a common bird and think it was a pterodactyl? Yes, and that does happen but not as often as some critics proclaim or insinuate. Comparatively few living-pterosaur reports come from a misidentification of a feathered bird. That becomes more obvious when we consider biologists who declare that they have seen live pterosaurs.

Ropens – Long Tail – Pterodactyl in Ohio

Modern-pterosaur researchers and searchers are hoping for more eyewitness testimonies of live pterodactyls, so what is to be done? Some eyewitnesses of these flying creatures keep searching the sky for a second encounter, and sometimes it pays off.

It certainly did for a biologist in Ohio, who had a second sighting of a non-extinct pterosaur. This time his wife was with him. With both encounters, this biologist was sure that what they encountered was not any kind of bird but a living pterosaur, what many persons would call a “pterodactyl”.

Pterodactyls in North Carolina – ROPEN sightings

Flying dinosaurs in the capital city of North Carolina? ALIVE!? Yes, and many persons in Raleigh have seen these large flying creatures, including the eyewitness Cynthia Lee, a veterinary technician. Now we have video evidence from the cell phone of this young lady.

Cynthia Lee had just gotten onto the city bus in Raleigh, North Carolina, when she began videotaping two apparent pterodactyls with her cell phone. Unfortunately, the two flying creatures were going in the opposite direction from which the bus was, making it almost impossible to get any reasonable video footage of the two apparent ropens.

Still, in 2021, this footage was stabilized and magnified, giving us a glimpse of these fascinating flying creatures.

New Youtube Videos on Living Pterosaurs

In the first four weeks of March, 2020, I uploaded to Youtube five videos about modern pterosaurs (a.k..a. “pterodactyls”) . . .

Ropen or Pterodactyl Sightings in Videos

The following are just a few of the hundreds of Youtube videos, on the channel “Protect Animal Life”, about modern living pterosaurs . . .

The ropen, a living pterosaur

[in the words of Jonathan Whitcomb] Of all the sighting reports, of apparent living pterosaurs, that I have received since the year 2003, the great majority have been from the eyewitnesses themselves. Most of those reports have been emails from the persons who encountered those flying creatures and found me from my online publications. A significant minority of those persons I have been able to interview face to face and others through phone conversations.

.

Ropen Sighting in Ohio in Late 2016

Last month I got an email from a man who lives in Gahanna, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. He and his teenaged son were driving near their home at 6:45 p.m. on December 19, 2016, when a large creature flew over their car, giving them a quick but close view. It had a wingspan greater than the width of their car.

.

Living Pterosaur

For generations, Americans and other people in Western nations have been indoctrinated into believing that all species of certain basic types of living things became extinct millions of years ago, the two most notable types being dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

This idea of universal extinction for those two types has become so taken for granted that any person insinuating that one of their species might still be alive may be taken as either insane or as a fanatic deserving no attention.

For generations, however, in various areas of the planet, eyewitnesses have reported living pterosaurs . . .

New Youtube Videos on Living Pterosaurs

By cryptozoologist Jonathan Whitcomb

In the first four weeks of March, 2020, I uploaded to Youtube five videos about modern pterosaurs (a.k..a. “pterodactyls”), and three videos about COVID-19. Let’s take a brief glance at the five videos on featherless flying creatures.

From the Youtube video “Live Pterodactyl”

From the narrator of this video, Jonathan Whitcomb:

Here is a portion of the voice-over:

What marvelous flying creatures were pterosaurs! . . . consider the great number of types of animal life we have, at present, on the earth.

. . . There’s nothing physical to make us believe all their species [of pterosaurs] are extinct, but the idea of their complete extinction lies in our culture.

.

Pterodactyl Shock

Here’s the first part of the Description for this video:

This is no joke. I, Jonathan Whitcomb, began investigating eyewitness reports of apparent living pterosaurs in 2003. One year later, I led a brief expedition in Papua New Guinea, as our team searched for the nocturnal ropen of Umboi Island.

The following are text segments:

Pterodactyls fly mostly at night. They live in many areas of the world. Jonathan Whitcomb has received many eyewitness reports, and they’re from five continents. The eyewitnesses are of many cultures, many beliefs, and many backgrounds.

Here’s the first paragraph of the Description section for this video:

These eyewitnesses are just a sampling of the countless persons who have seen the astonishing flying creatures reported flying around the world. What previous video shows photos of so many eyewitnesses?

This is another Youtube video on these amazing featherless flying creatures (the YT channel is Protect Animal Life), this one showing a few sightings from the smallest animal to a couple of the larger ones. This is just a very small sampling from the reports in which eyewitnesses estimated wingspan.

Live Pterodactyl in Kansas

On February 21, 2020, I found a long comment under my Youtube video “Pterodactyl in a Jungle”, a detailed sighting report of a huge ropen seen in about the year 1994 in Garden City, Kansas.

Videos on Living Pterosaurs

This is about new mini-documentaries I’ve recently uploaded to Youtube on my channel Protect Animal Life. Although many of the sighting reports of apparent modern pterosaurs suggest the nocturnal long-tailed ropen, none of the short videos, at least as of June 1, 2019, has the word ‘ropen’ in the title. [This changed between that date and March of 2020.]

New Youtube Video: “Pterodactyl” Sighting in California

By the ropen expert Jonathan Whitcomb

This has a different format than the other videos that I uploaded to my Youtube channel Protect Animal Life, although it’s a common style on Youtube. I sit on my living room couch and talk to the camera. Many Youtubers make similar recordings of themselves, although not usually while they’re sitting on a couch.

The video is titled “A confession about a pterodactyl” and gives my account of an ironic twist in my life: from a severe skeptic to a firm believer in modern pterosaurs.

Watch this mini-documentary here:

A transformation in thinking about modern pterosaurs

Although it’s not covered in this video, one thing I’ve learned about living pterosaurs is that sightings are not nearly as rare as people would suppose. Sometimes an eyewitness will remain quiet about seeing a live “pterodactyl” until he or she learns that a friend or member of the family has also seen such a flying creature.

In this video, I get into a sighting in Altadena, California, in about the year 1969. A teenaged girl told my sister, who was also a high school student at the time, about her encounter with a gigantic “pterodactyl.” That deserves looking into.

How many persons did my sister know in 1969? How many of those potentially hundreds of persons would have trusted my sister enough to tell her about seeing a live “pterodactyl?” Definitely a lot less than a thousand. Where does that lead?

The following is overly simplistic, I know, but consider this: With about 300 million persons in the United States, if my  sister’s experience is typical then more than 300,000 persons in the USA, at least once in each of their lives, must have had a good sighting of a living pterosaur.

That one example, my sister and her friend, is hardly an adequate sampling, of course, but I have had hundreds of eyewitness sighting reports sent to me by Americans who have seen these flying creatures, and some of them know someone else who has had a similar encounter. That means we actually have a huge number of eyewitnesses in the USA.

A Secret About Living Pterosaurs

sketch of two flying pterosaurs - "In reality, not all species are extinct."

By the investigative journalist Jonathan Whitcomb

I just uploaded a new video to Youtube: “Living Pterosaurs -Why fear? —Plus: a secret.” This is one of many videos on my Youtube channel Protect Animal Life, and each one is about these featherless flying creatures.

A Secret Revealed in the Video and Here

What about these people who see live “pterodactyls?” Are they religious fanatics or simple and ignorant and overly imaginative? I’ve interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses, over the past 16 years, and most of them appear to be healthy, ordinary persons who have seen an extraordinary flying creature.

Here’s the secret: Eyewitnesses who have contacted me from five continents of the earth strike me as generally diverse. They come from various cultures, from various countries, from people of various languages, and from various backgrounds.

They also have various religious beliefs and various opinions about evolution and the origin of life on earth. I also mentioned in the video that eyewitnesses also have a variety of degrees of conviction about things they believe.

Because details in descriptions, of the apparent pterosaurs, are similar, from eyewitnesses of various backgrounds, etc, the animals must be real. If some weakness in a particular culture (or religion, etc) caused a particular group of persons to be mistaken in reporting living pterosaurs, then those persons could have made similar mistakes. Since eyewitnesses are so diverse, they must have seen actual animals.

Living Pterosaurs in Newspapers

I uploaded a new video to youtube, “Living Pterosaurs – in newspapers” and present it as an introduction to such newspaper articles.

Religion and Science

If it’s quantities of Biblical quotes or complex scientific concepts that prove the Bible is true, this nonfiction [book] would compete poorly with at least two books available on Amazon. But for true-life adventures of Christian explorers who live their faith by getting actively involved, Searching for Ropens and Finding God may be a step above any other book in the religion/science-and-religion genre.

Upbeat Music Video: Pterosaurs in California (on Youtube)

music video "Giant Pterodactyl in California"

By the investigative journalist Jonathan Whitcomb

A few days ago (early in May of 2019), I uploaded a video to the Youtube channel Protect Animal Life. Although the DERALP* site gives forty-one references to pterosaur sightings in California, the Youtube video “Giant Pterodactyl in California” has only seven of those reports.

* DERALP = Declaration on Eyewitness Reports of Apparent Living Pterosaurs, revised February 1, 2019

Here are the locations, in the video, for the seven sightings in CA:

  • Altadena (about 1968)
  • Anaheim (2018)
  • Central California (2007 – sighting by Scott Norman)
  • Fairfield (wingspan estimate = about 30 feet)
  • Irvine (2007)
  • Ramona (2004)
  • San Diego (2011)

.

Video “Giant Pterodactyl in California”

A lively music keeps this production moving, yet its in the nature of film and video to provide less information than a book or blog post, especially on Youtube, where videos are often only 3-10 minutes long.

Here’s another video on the channel Protect Animal Life:

Reports of living pterosaurs in the USA

Called by some Americans “flying dinosaurs,” pterosaurs, in modern times, appear to be at least somewhat rare, for they are rarely reported by eyewitnesses.
