Sighting in St. Louis

The upcoming revised edition of Live Pterosaurs in America will have a number of new sighting reports [update: the third edition of this nonfiction cryptozoology book was published late in 2011]. One of those newly-reported encounters was in St. Louis, Missouri.

The man and his grandmother saw the large apparently smooth-skinned creature, on July 15, 2004, flying about a hundred feet above an Arby’s restuarant in St. Louis. . . . it did not have the long crest on top; the creature’s head and body was very similar like Rhamphorhynchus. . . . it did have the diamond-shaped tail end.

Q: How wide would you estimate its wings were?

A: [It’s] hard to be precise, but I say around twenty feet; it could have been a bit wider though . . . an impressive wingspan. . . .

The second edition of the nonfiction cryptozoology book, Live Pterosaurs in America, will be published around the middle of the Fall (2010). At 35% longer, it will include a new chapter: “Marfa Lights of Texas.”

The revised book will have more detailed analysis of critics’ reasoning, proving the validity of the concept of living pterosaurs. But perhaps most noticeable will be the additional sightings: astonishing encounters.

From the Title Page of the cryptozoology book Live Pterosaurs in America (third edition):

How are sightings in the United States related to those in the southwest Pacific? How do some apparent nocturnal pterosaurs pertain to bats, and how are bats irrelevant? How could modern living pterosaurs have escaped scientific notice? These mysteries have slept in the dark . . . even beyond our wildest dreams (although the reality of some pterosaurs is a living nightmare to some bats). These mysteries have slept . . . until now.

  1. I saw something extremely similar to this description. I was driving home from dropping a friend off at school. When I was almost home (passed the Food Lion on Commerce Rd, going towards Country Club Rd in Jacksonville, NC), I saw something HUGE above me in the sky. It looked like a pale greenish white and smooth-skinned. It didn’t appear to have any feathers, and it had the tail with the diamond shape on the end. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and I knew no one else really would. It was probably about the same in the sky, 100ft away. I just looked up the Rhamphorhynchus and it was definitely similar to what I saw. It was headed towards Highway 17 and coming from Jacksonville Mall area (flying made the route different since it could fly passed all the things we had to drive around).
    If I had my camera with me, I most definitely would’ve snapped a picture of the creature ASAP. Sadly, I left it at home and couldn’t get it. But I know for fact I saw something like what you’re describing here.

  2. Oh, I saw the creature at about 7:20AM-7:30AM on October 7th, 2010.
    I’m sure I’m not the only person to see it.
    I stopped my car and pulled over to look at it more in depth, since I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
    It was infact something I’ve never seen in real life before. Something that isn’t around here.
    I saw other birds flying low in the sky that I normally see and they were STILL smaller than this giant.
