According to the second edition of the nonfiction
cryptozoology book, “The flight destination may
have been this meadow near Campus Drive.” . . .
the dark giant flying creature as “30 feet long, with
15-16 feet of that being a tail.” The giant size, long
tail, and obvious lack of any feathers made it very
like the ropen of Papua New Guinea. This isn’t the
only sighting report of a giant flying creature in
California.

Giving five stars to the first edition,
one reader said, “He has focused on
the accounts of witnesses who saw
something, and that adds credibility.
The writing is easy to read and he
adds comments and analysis to
make it all more useful. Mostly, the
author lets the sightings speak for
themselves, which is good.”
Do not miss the expanded third
edition of the cryptozoology book
“Live Pterosaurs in America.” See for
yourself why the first edition never
was rated at less than four stars;
almost all ratings were five stars.

About the Author, Whitcomb
From 2003 through 2010, Whitcomb
has written two editions of two non-
fiction books, one scientific paper in
a peer-reviewed journal of science
and hundreds of web pages and blog
posts on the subject of many
sighting reports of featherless flying
creatures described like pterosaurs.
The . . . cryptozoologist Jonathan
Whitcomb interviewed Gideon Koro
on Umboi, Papua New Guinea, in
2004. The native described how the
giant flying creature, with no
feathers, flew over Lake Pung in
clear daylight. The tail was seven
meters long . . .
. . . enjoying the solitude and peace
and quiet of the desert when it passed
over. I . . . looked up. It was soaring
along the side of a plateau not far
from us. We knew what it looked like.
In fact, I remember saying ‘. . . that
looks just like a Taradactyl!’
. . . we saw three hours of
bioluminescent ‘shooting
stars.’ The last hour was the
most interesting in that there
were two light blasts about
200 ft. apart, about 50-100
ft., above the river. The
blasts were followed by
screeches from about a
dozen . . . nighthawks
