Sightings of Bioluminescent Pterosaurs?
I just received a sighting report from Tennessee (edited for spelling and quoted in part):
A friend of mine has directed me to you to see if you may have any insight into what my husband and I saw this evening. We were driving home and saw three glowing balls in the sky. . . . My husband said, “hot air balloons,” and that’s just what they looked like but they were moving so fast through the sky. . . .
They were shortly followed by a fourth. . . . Any thoughts?? I live in Knoxville.
That sighting report of “glowing balls” flying through the sky at night in Tennessee—it gives us little to work with. I asked the eyewitness a few questions but the only way to be anywhere near sure that a person is seeing a bioluminescent pterosaur is this: An eyewitness needs to see both a form of a pterosaur and see a glow from that creature.

Two years ago I received an email from a man in Miami, Florida:
I’m fairly close to the water . . . I’m also in the path of many airports in my area . . . so I know what airplane lights look like and can always hear an engine. I (along with guests on the second occasion) have seen some unexplained lights, very faint in the air. They looked to be gliding in a very easy manner. It is hard to explain. Regardless, the only explanation I’ve been given is that they’re satellites, but they were too close too the ground. . . . after reading some accounts, I think what I saw was a ropen . . .
That report from Florida also gives us little to work with. I hope that more eyewitnesses come forward from Florida, when this kind of flying light is again observed.

Much more telling is a report from Pasadena, Texas. The creatures flew about 100-150 feet above the eyewitnesses:
I have seen them, they look like bats but flap their wings way different than birds do… And they have a red-orange bioluminiscent [sic] body… First time I spotted one was somewhere on Nov, 2011; last time I saw 2 of them together a week ago [March, 2012].
I asked the man, “Were you able to see any wings?” He replied:
Yes of course . . . glowing red-orange, and look like those of a bat
I asked him, “What is the longest that you have seen one, in seconds?” He replied:
The longest I have observed them is between 30 second to possibly a full minute when using binoculars
The sighting in Pasadena, Texas, is far more significant than the other two, for the eyewitness saw glowing wings, indicating it was a bioluminescent flying creature.
Huge Glowing Creature Flying in Southern California
In September of 2009, I received an email from a man who had a sighting, just the previous night, in Sherman Oaks, California (near Los Angeles). He and his girlfriend saw a creature that “baffled” them:
. . . it was so strange . . . it didn’t look like a bird really . . . My girlfriend has 20-20 vision and she told [me], a few minutes later, that it had lights on it. . . . [or] a glow or reflection.
The man estimated the wingspan at 10-15 feet; his girlfriend, at 20 feet.

In April of 2010, I received an email from a man in that same area of Southern California. He told me:
[We saw a] bright radiation-like light coming from the belly of this Pterodactyl looking animal. I seen it fly right above us maybe 150-200 feet and this thing wasn’t no bat; it was bigger with large wing span . . .

I know of other reports of flying lights in Southern California, lights that have been associated with flying creatures. I also know of many sightings of apparent pterosaurs in Southern California, some of which appear like the ropen of Papua New Guinea: long-tailed and featherless. Making a solid scientific case for bioluminescent pterosaurs in my home state and in other states of the USA—that is a tall order indeed, and it may take many more years to convince biology professors, and scientists in general, to accept extant pterosaurs. But that is what my associates and I are in this for: the long haul.

If the Youtube video is genuine, a strange light was flying over Winder, Georgia, in 2010

One night, in April of 1993, near the northwest coast of Umboi Island [Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea], after a large funeral procession arrived at the burial location, a creature with a glowing red tail came from the sea. . . . About two hundred mourners were awake when the creature flew overhead.
Pterosaur Sightings in the United States
RG and his friend, in the late afternoon of a clear day [in Texas], were startled by a flying creature less than 150 feet away. For about fifteen seconds, they watched it fly, about fifty feet high . . . The general appearance was “leathery” and it had a pointed beak and head appendage.
Focused Analysis of Pterosaur Sighting Reports
The heart of this post is an analysis that compares older sightings with newer ones.
Symbolically speaking, the cage enclosing the universal-extinction dogma (for pterosaurs) has appeared solid, rock tight against any escape. But the back of the enclosure, what hardly anybody even thinks about, differs greatly from the facade, not that the back door is unlocked or even wide open: There is no back door. But there is a huge hole for animals to escape, and that’s just what those pterosaurs have been doing for centuries.
Living Nightmare: Attack in the Dead of Winter
Remember your worst nightmare? Were you glad to wake up? Be grateful. In the early morning hours of February 23, 2010, a few miles or so southwest of Marfa, Texas, the victims were terrified by what awakened them.
