More Pterosaurs in California

According to the cryptozoology author Jonathan Whitcomb, of Murray, Utah, people keep reporting pterosaurs in California, not fossil discoveries but non-extinct “pterodactyls” flying overhead. Sometimes an eyewitness will even use the word ‘dragon’ in the sighting report.

The most recent sighting was on May 12, 2019, in Southern California. Here is part of what the eyewitness reported to Whitcomb:

Today at 3:30 pm I exited my in laws home in Villa Park and all five of my kids were standing at the car looking up at the sky. I looked up and my first thought was “dragon.” It was huge. . . . My 10 year old was scared . . . I can’t stop thinking about it. Someone had to have seen it besides us.

In 2018 another eyewitness reported the following to Whitcomb, although the sighting itself was years earlier in another area of Southern California:

In 2005 a perfectly clear afternoon, I seen two “Pterosaurs” flying simultaneously, the 2nd about 2/3 the size of the first one and it was right behind it. Neither flapping their wings until almost out of site, but gliding in a downward direction from about 200 feet in the air. My guess is the wingspan of the first and larger one was about 14 foot total length. They seem to be going directly to Lake San Vicente from my position on Mussey Grade Rd in Ramona . . . San Diego county.

The following was reported from Northern California, in December of 2018:

Bat wing cryptid with pterodactyl like head . . . pointed crest on back of head like pterodactyl gliding 12 ft above road by Riege Road on our way from Marysville to American Canyon in Northern California. Nose to rump body 4 ft long. 1:24 am today. Clearly seen in headlights.

Whitcomb reports that certain details are often common with reports from around the world:

  • lack of feathers
  • long tail
  • horn-like head crest
  • large size

Whitcomb looks into a storm channel near where a ropen was reported to have flown in daylight. He believes it was a modern living pterosaur.

Flying Dinosaur in Africa

Was it a pterodactyl that terrified a young man in a village in Sudan, Africa, in July of 1988? Or was it a large kongamato with a long tail that reminded the young native of the hairy end-of-tail of a lion?

Youtube videos on living pterosaurs

The following is a partial listing of videos that I [Jonathan D. Whitcomb] have uploaded to Youtube from March through May of 2019, onto the channel Protect Animal Life . . .

Living Pterosaurs in the USA

The following details are compiled from the June 23, 2018, update of “Declaration on Eyewitness Reports of Apparent Living Pterosaurs.” It seems easier to count the American states that do not have reported sightings of non-extinct “pterodactyls” than to count the ones that do.
