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.
