Pterodactyl Fairy Tail?
by admin on Jul.02, 2012, under Strange
According to two eyewitesses of what seem to be long-tailed pterosaurs, the tail-vane orientation appears to be horizontal rather than vertical. The sightings were around 1965 in Cuba and in June of 2012 in Southern California. In each case, an eyewitness had a close view of the end of the tail. In each case, a flying creature was seen to have no feathers. Both eyewitnesses reported their sightings to the cryptozoologist Jonathan Whitcomb.
Paleontologists generally do not take pterosaur sightings seriously, for they specialize in fossils, not cryptozoology. Most of them, at least in recent years, have taken the view that the tail vane of basal pterosaurs was vertical. For those who believe in eyewitness testimony, that vertical idea, with the tail-end of pterosaurs, now seems to have been shot down.
Contrary to what some paleontologists believe, the orientation of the tail vane, in the “basal” pterosaurs, now appears to be horizontal . . . a structure that could have been seen well from above or below the creature but not nearly as well from the side.
