Pterosaurs Today
Many citizens in developed nations of Europe and North America would
assume that traditional beliefs in universal extinction are valid for all
species of dinosaurs and pterosaurs; but the eyewitnesses know better.

Eyewitnesses tell a different story about
pterosaurs: They live today. Nationalities
differ, languages differ, cultures differ,
religions differ; but descriptions of the
featherless flying creatures differ not as
much: often with a long tail, very unlike
any bat. In addition, a long beak makes
it unlike a bat, and size is sometimes too
great, even for a Flying Fox fruit bat.
Could these flying creatures like dragons
be large birds? No. If so, why do some
eyewitnesses describe sharp teeth? Why
is a flange or vane seen at the end of a
long tail? And why do the flying creatures
seem to have no feathers?
In the summer if 2007, an eyewitness
was shocked at what flew overhead one
night, near a music concert in eastern
Spain. He said, “I assure you I am NOT
LYING- I've got literally no interest in
making something like this up. . . .
whilst sitting on the ground by the
tents . . . I saw what I at first assumed
was an owl gliding over the campsite (I
assumed that because it was night time,
and obviously no other birds would be
out-bar things like nightjars-which this
was not!) - it passed right over us,
probably about 30-40 feet high, and as I
watched it, I realised it was definitely no
owl I'd ever seen before. It . . . had a
long thin tail, and didn't flap once. . . .
wingspan I'd estimate to be only 2-3 feet
tip to tip, and was gliding for the whole
time I saw it. The impression I got was a
lot more bat-like than bird, except it had
a beak. . . .” He also mentioned that the
tail was “perfectly straight.”
A simple solution to boredom for some teenagers,
this nonfiction cryptozoology book about living
pterosaurs in the United States is filled with the
more-credible accounts of living “pterodactyls”
that are anything but extinct. Adults and children
can also be thrilled at these amazing true stories
from ordinary Americans. This third expanded
edition contains more sighting reports than the
first two editions. In true cryptozoology genre.
Dragons seem as real to some of
the eyewitnesses as they seemed
to ancient persons who saw them
The modern word for living long-
tailed flying dragons is shocking:
“Pterosaurs.”
