A man saw what appeared to be a pterosaur, on July 17, 2012, flying in Oklahoma. In his own words:

I’m a truck driver and I was headed eastbound on I-40 about 30 to 40 miles west of Oklahoma city around 2:30p.m. I was the phone with my wife when I saw something I had never seen before flying southward in front of me from what I have read and the pictures I have seen on some site the description seems to fit

What did not fit was the size, which was similar to the size of a crow. Also the flying creature did not seem to have a long neck. It did, however, have a structure on the end of the long tail, and the creature had no feathers, according to the truck driver.

He was not the only person to have seen a pterosaur, or a “pterodactyl,” in Oklahoma. From the third edition of the book Live Pterosaurs in America:

In Woodward, Oklahoma, near a small river, at about noon, a fourteen-year-old became terrified at the sight of a pterosaur-like creature.

“I was walking to the small river where I usually caught carp fish. . . . a large animal took off into the air. At first I thought it was an eagle. Then I noticed it was a dinosaur. I went to my knees so that it would not see me. I was afraid it would eat me.”

Another Oklahoma pterosaur sighting

The truck driver also noticed something at the end of the tail, what he called a “blunt end.” He could not make out any detail, but acknowledged that it could have been what other eyewitnesses describe. In other words, he was sure that there was some kind of structure at the end of the tail.
