Ropens - Discovering Modern Pterosaurs
The nonfiction Searching for Ropens and Finding God, now in its fourth edition, has been called the
“Bible of modern pterosaurs.” The world’s most prolific author and writer on this subject has made
this book the highest authority in this exciting new field of cryptozoology.
The native shown above describes a grave
robbery on Umboi Island in Papua New
Guinea. The culprit? The nocturnal ropen,
that glows at night as it flies over the reefs
and jungles and mountains of this remote
tropical island in the southwest Pacific.
Read about this and many other exciting
facts about modern pterosaurs in the fourth
edition: Searching for Ropens and Finding
God. This may be the most shocking of
all books that expose a Western weakness:
Why did we assume that all the pterosaurs
must have become extinct long ago?
Part of the text on the back cover of this nonfiction cross-genre book:
A Quest for Discovering Modern Pterosaurs
“Settle into a comfortable chair and prepare for what may become the most unsettling scientific
discovery since Copernicus and Galileo. This true story takes you into the expeditions that began
to prepare the Western world for a discovery not yet recognized by scientists . . .
“Following their faith in the Bible, a few Americans have searched for living . . . pterosaurs . . .
in Papua New Guinea. This book demolishes the ‘universal extinction’ dogma, the idea that all
species of pterosaurs must be extinct. . . .”

“Pterodactyl” sighting in Cuba in 1971 (two of them)
“Immediately afterward I could not positively discern the
size of the creatures or the altitude of their flight, precisely
because there was no known point of reference visible
within the frame of space . . . . The height . . may have
been no more than 40 ft or 50 . . . The size of the creatures
was a little easier to judge, but not much, their span could
have been 8 ft or 12 ft . . .” [2.5 to 4 meters]

Read about the interview the author had
with this young man who, about ten years
before, when he was only a boy, ran home
with six other boys, all of them scared for
their lives. They had just witnessed the
ropen fly over Lake Pung, and that thing
had a huge wingspan and a tail with a
“diamond” shape on it, and that tail was
estimated to be seven meters long.
This interview was recorded by the author,
who was a forensic videographer, an expert
and professional in videotaping a witness
for legal cases in the United States.
Read how that expert determined that the
young man was telling the truth about that
gigantic flying creature, that thing that had
a mouth “like a crocodile.”
