This past July 23rd, I set up a game camera under the phone line where the “Lakewood ropen” was seen perching (before it flew away). Since then I have examined over six thousand photos. As of November 11, 2012, I have not yet seen any obvious image of any pterosaur, but I submit the following photos as evidence that this is a serious investigation. I hope that the next few months will bring us the success we need.
We delighted in the first photo: clear image & wide coverage (July 23, at about 7:24 p.m.)

Image #70 (night shot with infrared lights) shows the end of the tail of the family dog.
Many of the photos shot by the game camera were apparently triggered by Rex, the family’s black Lab. It means that much of my time examining photos results in discovering all the things this dog does by the back fence bordering the storm channel. This is not 100% negative, for this dog becomes excited at more things than rats and possums: He seems to get excited when the flying creature comes by.

image #101 – It looks like I turned on my glow eyes to search for the ropen. Actually this camera has many infrared lights that illuminate the area for IR recording, making eyes glow. I was there to gather the latest images from the camera.
.
Image #862 – Tractor in the storm channel relates to maintenance work clearing away excess vegetation hanging over the walls. This photo was recorded on August 28th, in the afternoon.

When the dog runs through this area, it creates a thick dust storm. This time the dust was illuminated by the IR lights. We can barely see Rex in this photo.

A song bird triggered this game camera recording on October 3, 2012

Rex appears very agitated about something in the storm channel

Image #5246 – apparently a possum walks along the chain link fence at night

Horizontal Tail Vane of Pterosaurs
An eyewitness recently made it clear that the flying creature she had recently observed had a long tail and a horizontal tail vane at tail’s end. I have interviewed this lady several times, face-to-face, during the past two weeks. She appears highly credible.
A Manta ray fish, of an ocean or sea, may jump as high as ten feet above the surface, perhaps. But all those jumping fish fall back into the sea, demonstrating that they are not strange featherless flying creatures.
