About Living Pterosaurs
Britain Island, Papua New Guinea
According to the second edition of the book Searching for Ropens, the ten sightings, of pterodactyl-like creatures flying over the island of New Britain, were from April of 1989 through 1991.
From 1994 through 2004, at least six Americans have explored Umboi Island . . . searching for a nocurnal pterosaur-like creature called “ropen.”
The following compilations of eyewitness testimony and second-hand or other accounts, are supple-mented by the conclusions of Jonathan Whitcomb. . . . nocturnal . . . ropen, duwas, kundua, seklobali, indava, and wawanar. . . . like a Rhamphorhynchoid.
Cryptozoology and Pterodactyls
Almost all biology text books . . . proclaim that dinosaurs and pterosaurs became extinct millions of years ago; nevertheless, some people believe in survivors.
A colony of the apparent-pterosaurs is near a remote Village, north-by-northwest of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea: an almost inaccessible location in the mainland interior. (expeditions: November of 2006 and March of 2007)
. . . a reply to Glen Kuban’s web page. . . . According to Searching for Ropens, however, “Since no researcher in Europe . . . had any knowledge of living creatures similar to the fossils, it was assumed that they were all extinct. The key word is ‘assumed.’”
Whitcomb's Book, Searching For Ropens, Asserts Pterodactyl Reported In Papua New Guinea
. . . the "pterodactyl" described by the World War II veteran Duane Hodgkinson is a real creature that lives in coastal areas.
Cliff Paiva, a missile defense physicist working in Southern California, found no commonplace explanation for the fourteen seconds of video.

Living-Pterosaur cryptozoologist
Jonathan Whitcomb (a creationist)
In 2003, I became involved in living pterosaur investigations and traveled, in late 2004, to Umboi Island, Papua New Guinea. . . . I interviewed eyewitnesses.
Pterosaur Seen in South Carolina
Late in 2007, I interviewed Susan Wooten by email concerning her sighting of an apparent pterosaur that flew over a highway near a swamp in South Carolina.
First, we need to distinguish between four kinds of evidence gathering: preliminary legal investigations, court trial prepara-tions, preliminary scientific investigations, and scientific presentation preparations.
Creationists, yes those Bible-believing Christians often labeled “fundamentalists” were the first ones exploring the remote jungles of Umboi Island and elsewhere.
So what is known about living pterosaurs? . . . As of early 2007, the only published images are stills taken from video footage of the bioluminescent glow of two of the creatures. Yes, . . . a bioluminescence that turns off and on . . . as they fly.
Why believe in extinction?
During World War II, an American soldier walked into a clearing near Finschhafen (New Guinea) with his buddy. Soon after entering the clearing . . . a large “pterodactyl” took off into the air . . .
Perhaps the most mysterious case of bioluminescence is the five-to-six second flash of the ropen of Umboi Island.
Living Pterosaur Expedition of 2006
Late in 2006, I interviewed Paul Nation in his home . . . just days after he had returned from Papua New Guinea.
A Psychologist Saw a Living Pterosaur
The American author noticed similarities between Hennessy's description and that of a creature reported 500 miles to the west, near Finschhafen, Papua New Guinea, twenty-seven years earlier.
