Recent Pterosaur Tracks or Monster Tracks?
by admin on Jan.04, 2012, under Strange
In Mexico, an eyewitness of recent tracks believes they might have been made by living pterosaurs. When questioned by the American cryptozoologist Jonathan Whitcomb, however, the man admitted that he knew little about pterosaur footprints: He believed that the large tracks were made by one or more large flying creatures that have terrorized a few Mexican citizens in these remote areas, perhaps within 200-300 miles of the border with Texas; he suspects those flying creatures are pterosaurs, for he had once seen an apparent pterosaur. Some Mexicans consider the flying animals to be dangerous monsters, regardless of how scientists or cryptozoologists might classify them.
The man firmly believes it was a large flying creature . . . The impressions in the soil were one inch deep, and he could not make that deep of an impression, even after jumping on the soil nearby; it must have been a heavy animal. One of the kinds of footprints was about 18 inches by about 20 inches . . . that is a large foot. During the excursion in which he recorded the following photos, there had been much rain just before the impressions were discovered.
This brings to mind the sightings at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the 1965-1971 time frame.
We were walking down near the boat yards, headed home . . . There were some stagnant pools here and there . . . We were walking through that scrub area, and suddenly it [the “pterodactyl”] sat up, as if it had been eating something or resting. . . . right in front of us about thirty feet away. All of us froze for about five seconds, then it leaned to its left and took off with a fwap fwap fwap sound, in a big hurry, more of a scramble . . . and disappeared behind trees and terrain.
