Living
Pterosaur
Extinct or not extinct?
For generations, Americans and other
people in Western nations have been
indoctrinated into believing that all
species of certain basic types of living
things became extinct millions of years
ago, the two most notable types being
dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
This idea of universal extinction for
those two types has become so taken
for granted that any person insinuating
that one of their species might still
be alive may be taken as either insane
or as a fanatic deserving no attention.
For generations, however, in various
areas of the planet, eyewitnesses have
reported living pterosaurs, although
they have been called by a variety of
names:
•
flying dragon
•
pterodactyl
•
dinosaur bird
•
prehistoric bird
Please keep an open mind in this
investigation in cryptozoology, for
a number of researchers and even a
few scientists have been taking this
concept very seriously: It appears
that not all sighting reports are from
misidentifications or hoaxes. In fact,
a great many of them appear to be
significantly credible.
American explorers who have gone to
Papua New Guinea, interviewing
native eyewitness, include Paul Nation,
Jonathan Whitcomb, David Woetzel,
and Garth Guessman. In addition, a
number of natives of that tropical
nation have searched for ropens or
similar flying creatures with other
names known in a variety of island
languages:
•
seklo-bali
•
indava
•
kor
•
wawanar
•
kunduwa
Sketch by U. S. Marine Eskin C. Kuhn
In 1971, in clear daylight near the shore at the
Guantanamo Bay military facility, Cuba, the
American Marine Eskin Kuhn saw, at close
range, two large flying creatures. With a talent
for realistic sketching, he immediately drew
what he put to memory, drawing the above
sketch within minutes of the sighting.
Sketch by Patty Carson
In daylight, and up close, the daughter of a
government employee saw the creature that
she later sketched. The sighting was in 1965
and at the same area of Cuba where Eskin
Kuhn would see two large “pterodactyls”:
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Patty Carson was
close enough to see the animal’s teeth.
During Jonathan Whitcomb’s expedition in
Papua New Guinea, in 2004, he interviewed
Gideon Koro, who was one of seven boys
who encountered the ropen, as it flew over
a crater lake on Umboi Island.

These flying lights are believed to be the
glow from two bioluminescent flying
creatures. This animal is called indava
by the local natives in Papua New Guinea.
Susan Wooten sketched the huge pterosaur
that flew in front of her car on a clear day
in 1986 in rural South Carolina.

The mysterious flying Marfa Lights, in a
desert in Texas, may be from a group of
bioluminescent predators that could be
related to the ropen of Papua New Guinea.
