Other Pterosaur Sightings Long-tailed feather-less ropen-like flying creatures have been reported around the world, including states in the U.S.A. Is this flying creature, seen and sketched by the U.S. Marine Eskin C. Kuhn, a ropen, like those seen in Papua New Guinea? The two that Mr. Kuhn saw were flying in daylight, in Cuba, in 1971.

Hodgkinson’s Sketch Choice                                                                       Long-tailed living pterosaurs? Could it be? Yes! They’re called “ropens.”                                                                                             Copyright 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 Jonathan David Whitcomb Duane Hodgkinson, eyewitness World War II Veteran Saw Giant Living "Pterodactyl" Duane Hodgkinson, now a flight instructor  in Livingston, Montana, in 1944 was  stationed near Finschhafen, in what was  then called New Guinea. After he and his  buddy walked into a clearing, they were  amazed as a large creature flew up into  the air. The men soon realized that it was  no bird that started to circle the clearing. It  had a tail “at least ten to fifteen feet long,”  (book Searching for Ropens, 2007) and a  long appendage at the back of its head:  apparently, a live pterosaur.   Jonathan David Whitcomb, a forensic  videographer, interviewed Hodgkinson, in  2004, and found his testimony credible. In  2005, Garth Guessman, another ropen  investigator, in Montana video-taped his  own interview with Hodgkinson and the  session was analyzed by Whitcomb, who  became even more convinced the World  War II veteran was telling the truth: The  man had seen a ropen.   Hodgkinson continues to give a powerful  testimony of his 1944 encounter with a  huge flying creature that is an obvious live  pterosaur, notwithstanding the Western  dogma about universal extinction.   South Carolina Sighting by Susan Wooten In South Carolina, Susan Wooten’s  sighting of a giant pterosaur was  shocking. It was between Columbia  and Florence, in about 1989, on a  remote highway surrounded by some  swamps and wooded areas.  This flying creature resembles the  ropen of Papua New Guinea, at least  somewhat, but it is also called the  “South Carolina pterosaur.”  Sketch by eyewitness Eskin Kuhn, who saw two long-tailed pterosaurs at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 1971 Live Pterosaurs in America, third edition, takes you on an adventure of discovery: not fossil bones but eyewitness accounts of the living creatures that fly overhead: modern pterosaurs in the United States, in spite of extinction dogma. Marvel at eyewitness accounts in many of the states: California, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and in other states.
