Sightings of Pterosaurs in the United States
Eyewitness Accounts of Apparent "Pterodactyls" in America
How could giant ropens be living in the United States? Rephrase the question: "How could ropens with wingspans as great as twenty-five
to fifty feet be prevented from reaching the Western Hemisphere?"
With a few butterflies from North America being blown across
the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland (Europe) regularly, how can we be sure that no ropen from the Southwest Pacific has ever migrated across
the Pacific? (It would not necessarily be across the broadest expanse of the Pacific.)
Eyewitnesses have confirmed that the giantropen may now live in America.
Ropens in the United States?
Jonathan Whitcomb, before and after writing "Searching for Ropens," received emails from many witnesses of similar creatures
in America. This prompted him to write a new nonfiction book: "Live Pterosaurs in America." (Createspace)
A minister was driving in Mount Vernon, Ohio, one morning in the fall of 2005, when he saw a "creature in the
sky . . .
no feathers," and a long tail "with a diamond-shaped point at the end." It sounds a lot like a ropen.

Cheesman (1881 – 1969), British biologist and explorer, never did arrive at any satisfactory explanation; the natives would
not explain the lights to her. She would have been shocked at the research done in more recent years, for those lights are seen in
other areas of Papua New Guinea and they are now ascribed to the bioluminescent glow of giant living pterosaurs.
. . . we saw many . . . flashing lights. I would have assumed . . . fireflies,
but we [don’t] have them in Washington. . . . Many flashes were parallel to the river. . . these things [catch] fish at
night with bioluminescence. At first I thought I was just seeing shooting stars, but they were all parallel to the river and close
to the horizon. . . . when the cloud cover came in, I could still see the flashes. . . . under the cloud cover.
