Bigfoot is not the only nocturnal cryptid living in the northwestern United States. Pterosaurs and “weird bat-like” flying creatures (that may be pterosaurs) have been reported by various eyewitnesses and in various areas of the state of Washington. I have recently become aware of other sightings, by eyewitnesses that I have not interviewed, at least not yet interviewed.
It silently swoops down at you with giant bat wings. . . . We keep our chickens and goats, small dogs and cats safely housed at night, however two of our cats who sneaked out one night onto the roof disappeared without a trace of fur, blood or any evidence of what exactly happened.
I have additional information from the site We News It (July 4, 2011 entry).
My brother and I saw another weird batlike creature two summers ago that was also quite bizarre yet not like these huge ones. We were riding our bikes at dusk and this black guinea pig sized thing with bat wings with holes all through the wings ran across the dirt road in front of us and under a bush. We don’t know anyone who has seen anything like that either, but we DID see it.
I have previously written about reports of pterosaurs in the state of Washington:
“I was riding my bike home from a friend’s house around 5 pm . . . to my left, and on a wood plank fence were two of the biggest bird-like creatures I could ever imagine! I almost crashed my bike! . . . I stood on the road and watched them for about an hour. . . . I just couldn’t believe it! [Their] heads I would have to say it was maybe 4 ft long with the beak. . . . the wings looked like black rubber. . . . their wing span was about 20 ft tip to tip.”
Amazon book reviews:
This seems to be the author’s second book on the subject [the first was “Searching for Ropens”], and this one is worth the effort. He has focused on the accounts of witnesses who saw something, and that adds credibility. The writing is easy to read and he adds comments and analysis to make it all more useful. Mostly, the author lets the sightings speak for themselves, which is good. A worthwhile book.” (“Red Rabbit” – on the first edition of Live Pterosaurs in America)
“Your new book arrived today! THANK YOU!!! and I must say you really did a wonderful job!!! You not only gave everyone more sightings than they can dispute (21 states!!!), but you also wove a descriptive and engaging ongoing investigation . . .” (on the second edition of that cryptozoology book)
Hello, I am attempting to pin point the locations of the pterosaur sightings throughout Washington State. If you are aware of them, and it is within your right to share the information please send them to me at your earliest convenience.
