Many scientists have long assumed all pterosaurs died millions of years ago. Now take a whirlwind tour of many years of investigations in cryptozoology, and prepare for a shock: At least two species of pterosaurs have survived, uncommon, not so much rare as widely, thinly distributed. Nocturnal pterosaurs have always lived among us, but hidden by something. Enter now the realm of a new branch of cryptozoology, a branch overshadowed by the dogma of a "universal extinction." How did scientists miss living pterosaurs? Get the answers here, hidden secrets about how these amazing flying creatures of the night have gone mostly unreported: Until recently, almost nobody would listen to eyewitnesses; but for the past seven years many of them have been interviewed by the author of this book. Many modern pterosaurs are much larger than any bat, many with long tails, many with head crests. What about news headlines? How did these creatures avoid media attention? Get the answers from years of work by American cryptozoologists. The old "fruit bat" explanation for reports of pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea--that bat idea has now been shot down; the tail length of the larger creatures has been estimated at a minimum of ten feet and a maximum of over twenty feet. More shocking, these giant long-tailed flying creatures are not confined to the southwest Pacific: They are seen in the contiguous United States of America. Most pterosaurs in North America, however, are smaller, with many wingspan estimates at less than fifteen feet; nevertheless, how shocking! What amazing encounters! In California, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and many other states, eyewitnesses have seen strange featherless creatures flying overhead. These are not bats; most have long tails and are bigger than any bat. Dive into eyewitness testimonies; compare sightings through the author's detailed analysis. Third edition, nonfiction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most authoritative illustrated book on flying reptiles available For 150 million years, the skies didn't belong to birds—they belonged to the pterosaurs. These flying reptiles, which include the pterodactyls, shared the world with the nonavian dinosaurs until their extinction 65 million years ago. Some pterosaurs, such as the giant azhdarchids, were the largest flying animals of all time, with wingspans exceeding thirty feet and standing heights comparable to modern giraffes. This richly illustrated book takes an unprecedented look at these astonishing creatures, presenting the latest findings on their anatomy, ecology, and extinction. Pterosaurs features some 200 stunning illustrations, including original paintings by Mark Witton and photos of rarely seen fossils. After decades of mystery, paleontologists have finally begun to understand how pterosaurs are related to other reptiles, how they functioned as living animals, and, despite dwarfing all other flying animals, how they managed to become airborne. Here you can explore the fossil evidence of pterosaur behavior and ecology, learn about the skeletal and soft-tissue anatomy of pterosaurs, and consider the newest theories about their cryptic origins. This one-of-a-kind book covers the discovery history, paleobiogeography, anatomy, and behaviors of more than 130 species of pterosaur, and also discusses their demise at the end of the Mesozoic. The most comprehensive book on pterosaurs ever published Features some 200 illustrations, including original paintings by the author Covers every known species and major group of pterosaurs Describes pterosaur anatomy, ecology, behaviors, diversity, and more Encourages further study with 500 references to primary pterosaur literature

Book excerpt: From pre-Columbian legends to modern-day eyewitness accounts, this comprehensive guide covers the history, sightings and lore surrounding the most mysterious monsters in America—including Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and more. Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and thunderbirds aren’t just figments of our overactive imaginations—according to thousands of eyewitnesses, they exist, in every corner of the United States. Throughout America’s history, shocked onlookers have seen unbelievable creatures of every stripe—from sea serpents to apelike beings, giant bats to monkeymen—in every region. Author, investigator, and creature expert Linda S. Godfrey brings the same fearless reporting she lent to Real Wolfmen to this essential guide, using historical record, present-day news reports, and eyewitness interviews to examine this hidden menagerie of America’s homegrown beasts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition - This fully supports the literal Flood of Noah in the Bible, although the genre is nonfiction cryptozoology. For countless years, an old photograph has been seen on the internet, and some persons report they had seen it in a book decades before there was an internet. Now two scientists share their astonishing discovery: This is a genuine photograph of an actual animal that appears to have been a modern pterosaur, perhaps even a Pteranodon. Share in the excitement as one piece of evidence after another accumulates in favor of "Ptp" being a pre-1870 photograph of a modern pterosaur. Some evidences were independently discovered by two men (a physicist and a forensic videographer) who later shared their similar findings with each other, verifying the authenticity of Ptp. Was this photo created by a hoaxer who used Photoshop? See for yourself, as time and again the Photoshop conjecture is shot down. The missing-fingers of one of the soldiers in the photo is answered soundly, in a number of ways. The apparent "halo" near part of the head of another soldier-that is also answered. Not only did Photoshop have nothing to do with those details but there would have been no reason to use Photoshop in that way, if somebody wanted to create a hoax photo with some kind of model looking like a recently-deceased "pterodactyl." This is explained, in the book, by a videographer who has used Photoshop and knows how a hoaxer would and would not have used digital image-processing software. Don't confuse two photos that resemble each other. An imitation was created around the year 2000, apparently with Civil War reenactors, and that hoax-photo was made to look old, probably with software like Photoshop. It was then used in promoting a television show, but that IS NOT the photo examined in this book. Learn how others have been fooled by the similarity between those two photos. How much more credible is the Ptp photo! How could such an astonishing photograph have eluded scientific discovery for so long? That is also explained by the author, Jonathan Whitcomb, who has spent more time in the investigation of eyewitness reports of apparent extant pterosaurs than probably an other person in the world. Why did it take Whitcomb so many years to fully come to believe in the authenticity of Ptp? That is also explained, for this photograph has escaped the serious attention of almost everybody until January of 2017. Several introductory chapters include many sighting reports of large flying creatures, some of the accounts being published here for the first time. The descriptions of those apparent pterosaurs are compared with the apparent Pteranodon in Ptp. You'll learn why at least some of the sightings must have been encounters with actual extant pterosaurs. Above all, you'll learn why the animal shown in Ptp was a real pterosaur, probably shot by one or more of the soldiers shown in the photo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fly above common true-life adventures as you dive into what may become the most unsettling scientific discovery since Copernicus and Galileo: Living pterosaurs of the modern world---what a discovery!It soars above disputes about religion, revealing why an official discovery of an extraordinary animal has been delayed for so long. Above all, this explores human experiences—of eyewitnesses and those who interviewed them. People have become connected by common encounters; persons of various faiths, with various levels of education, from various countries and cultures, have seen a living pterosaur, commonly called "pterodactyl."Notwithstanding the delay in the official scientific discovery, eyewitnesses from around the world continue to encounter these flying creatures: featherless, long-tailed, often larger than any known bird.A few Americans explored a few islands in the southwest Pacific, in brief expeditions scattered between 1993 and 2007, looking for a modern pterosaur. “Creationist” each man was labeled, yet many of those following them, in recent years, carried no religious purpose.The creatures have many names: seklo-bali, duwas, wawanar, indava, kor, kundua. In Papua New Guinea, natives in isolated communities speak in village languages numbering in the hundreds, yet many natives carry a common fear in the dark: a huge glowing creature flying in the night. Natives on Umboi Island call it “ropen.”Three American Christians—one middle-aged LDS-Mormon high priest and two younger Protestant Young Earth Creationists—explored parts of Umboi Island in two separate expeditions in 2004, interviewing native eyewitnesses of the elusive ropen. They returned home even more convinced that long-tailed pterosaurs live, even thrive, in Papua New Guinea.This resulted in the publication of several books, two scientific papers in a peer-reviewed journal, and over a thousand blog posts, written mostly by those who trudged the jungle trails of Umboi themselves and spoke with the eyewitnesses face to face.Those two expeditions in 2004 also cleared the path for other searches in Papua New Guinea and elsewhere, including expeditions led by those with no religious purpose in searching for ropens, namely the Destination Truth and Monsterquest television shows.This book illustrates how we succeed better by working with those of different faiths in pursuing a common goal, in this case finding a modern living pterosaur and supporting each other in our common beliefs and values.Why has the official scientific discovery been so long delayed? The causes are multiple and interrelated, but one obstacle has been resolved. Speculation that religious bias of investigators has played a big part in sighting reports of apparent pterosaurs—that conjecture has been shot down.

Why has the official scientific discovery been so long delayed? The causes are multiple and interrelated, but one obstacle has been resolved. Speculation that religious bias of investigators has played a big part in sighting reports of apparent pterosaurs--that conjecture has been shot down. Consider the words of Sandra Paradise, an eyewitness in Georgia: "The world is now totally different. I feel blessed that God has allowed me to see this creature that should not be here, and yet is, this strange dragon-like thing that lives somewhere in the woods . . ." Steven Cottingham, a government official in New Guinea many years ago, told the author, "My sighting occurred at night near Lab Lab on the southern tip of Umboi. The light lasted for four to five seconds, and until reading your reports now, have never been able to explain the sighting." The American flight instructor Duane Hodgkinson told the author about his encounter with a long-tailed flying creature in New Guinea: "It was a big one! I have a Piper Tri-Pacer airplane [wingspan twenty nine feet] and it appeared to be about that size." Patty Carson, of Southern California, said, "It did have a tail and it had a diamond shaped tip . . . The skin was a leathery, brownish reddish color. It had little teeth, a LOT of them."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the benefits for the young reader: 1) Is understandable yet stimulating for kids and teens of about 8-14 years old 2) Tells you not WHAT to think, like many other nonfictions, but HOW to think about possibilities 3) By a positive example, invites you to use critical thinking 4) Opens up an exciting new world: persons have seen an apparent living pterosaur 5) Uses sketches, photos, and other images to make things clear 6) Does not indoctrinate but gives you details on what people have seen flying overhead 7) Allows you to come to your own conclusions in this short non-fiction 8) Gives the young reader three of the most important interpretations possible for a sighting 9) Explains the benefits of believing someone who may be telling the truth 10) Compares one sighting report with one or more others, yet it allows you to believe what you will This is nonfiction, true accounts of children and adults who have seen what seem to be living pterosaurs, what many people call "pterodactyls" or "dragons" or "dinosaur birds." This book is written for children and teenagers, but is especially for readers from eight to twelve years old. Six-year-old Patty Carson was walking home with her little brother. Suddenly, a strange creature poked its head up above the nearby tall grass. It had huge wings and a long beak that had many little teeth. Patty froze, watching to see what the animal would do. After a few seconds, it jumped up into the air and flew away.The girl was surprised to see that the creature had no feathers but it did have a long tail. At the end of its tail was something in the shape of a diamond. Patty ran home, a house at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to tell her family about the flying dinosaur, but they did not believe her.Six years later, in 1971, the U.S. Marine Eskin Kuhn was by himself, taking a break near a shoreline at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was shocked to see two large pterodactyls fly past him, not far away and not too high. He concentrated on their appearance, and within a few minutes he was sketching them with pencil and paper, for Eskin was a talented artist. Forty years later, in 2011, Patty was watching a TV show about a strange flying creature. She thought it was silly and was wondering why anybody would make a show about it. Then she remembered what she had seen when she was a little girl. She searched online and found a site about what Eskin Kuhn had seen in 1971. How surprised she was when she saw the sketch he had drawn. Not only did those two pterodactyls look like what she had seen but it was in the same area of Cuba: Guantanamo Bay.That is when she contacted Jonathan Whitcomb, the author of nonfiction books about living pterosaurs. Seven years later, in 2018, that author wrote this book, "The Girl who saw a Flying Dinosaur," the first such book he had written for children. Yet this book has much more about these flying creatures than just two stories. It explains why many children and adults have seen these animals around the world and why most people do not believe the eyewitnesses, in countries like the United States. The author did not get that story of the ropen of Umboi Island from second-hand accounts or rumors from missionaries in Papua New Guinea. He personally interviewed three of those native eyewitnesses himself, face-to-face, on his expedition on that tropical island (in 2004). As a forensic videographer, he judged those three eyewitnesses to be completely credible, only after interviewing.

Book excerpt: As children, we are captivated by stories of huge fantastical creatures, such as the wooly mammoth and the pterodactyl. The prevailing wisdom is these species are long extinct, but new evidence uncovered by author Gerald McIsaac casts doubt on these widely held assumptions. McIsaac gathered stories from the elders of the First Nation—those who were formerly referred to as Indians, Native Americans, or Aboriginals. First Nation elders provided McIsaac with detailed descriptions of six species long thought to be extinct. These species include the Devil Bird, the Hairy Elephant, the Wilderness Wolf, the Rubber-Faced Bear, the Lake Monster, and Sasquatch. In Bird from Hell, McIsaac separates fact from fiction by comparing eyewitness accounts of these species with scientific opinion concerning their identity. His conclusion is that these huge species are not extinct, but he needs assistance in gathering evidence to substantiate this claim. By following the simple directions provided in Bird from Hell, you can help prove these various species still exist.

Book excerpt: Pterosaurs or flying reptiles were the first vertebrates to evolve flight. These distant relatives of modern reptiles and dinosaurs lived from the Late Triassic (over 200 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago) a span of some 135 million years. When they became extinct, no relatives survived them and as a result these prehistoric animals cannot readily be compared with our modern-day fauna. So what do we know of these highly succsessful animals? The present summary answers this and many more questions based on the most recent results of modern scientific research. After a short introduction to palaeontology as a science and its history related to pterosaurs, it explains what pterosaurs were, when and where they lived, and what they looked like. Topics such as disease, injury and reproduction are also discussed. Separated from this text are 'Mark explains' boxes. Each of these explanations puts one specific species in the spotlight and focuses on its lifestyle. They show how diverse pterosaurs were, from small insectivorous animals with a wingspan of nearly 40 centimetres to the biggest flying animals ever to take to the air, with wingspans of over 10 metres and with a way of life comparable to modern-day storks. The text is illustrated with many full colour photographs and beautiful palaeo-art prepared by experts in the field.

Book excerpt: New Mexico’s twin traditions of the scientific and the supernatural meet for the first time in this long-overdue book by a journalist known for investigating the unexplained. Strange tales of ghosts, monsters, miracles, lost treasure, UFOs, and much more can be found not far from the birthplace of the atomic bomb. Huge radio astronomy dishes search desert skies for alien life, and the world’s first spaceport can be found in this enchanted land; in many ways New Mexico truly is a portal to other worlds. Mysterious New Mexico is the first book to apply scientific investigation methods to explain some of New Mexico’s most bizarre lore and legends. Using folklore, sociology, history, psychology, and forensic science—as well as good old-fashioned detective work—Radford reveals the truths and myths behind New Mexico’s greatest mysteries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a dark shadow passes overhead, do you stop? Or do you run? Infamous sky monsters have haunted our imaginations for centuries. The Thunderbird, steeped in Native American folklore, supposedly controls evil by throwing lightning. The Jersey Devil is said to roam the Pine Barrens of South Jersey, terrorizing anyone who crosses its path. And the cryptic warnings of Mothman have worried residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, since the 1960s. In A Guide to Sky Monsters: Thunderbirds, the Jersey Devil, Mothman, and Other Flying Cryptids, authors T. S. Mart and Mel Cabre introduce 20 flying cryptids with legends that span the United States.
