This book is written for children and teenagers, but is especially for readers from eight to twelve years old. Six-year-old Patty Carson was walking home with her little brother. Suddenly, a strange creature poked its head up above the nearby tall grass. It had huge wings and a long beak that had many little teeth. Patty froze, watching to see what the animal would do. After a few seconds, it jumped up into the air and flew away.The girl was surprised to see that the creature had no feathers but it did have a long tail. At the end of its tail was something in the shape of a diamond. Patty ran home, a house at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to tell her family about the flying dinosaur, but they did not believe her.Six years later, in 1971, the U.S. Marine Eskin Kuhn was by himself, taking a break near a shoreline at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was shocked to see two large pterodactyls fly past him, not far away and not too high. He concentrated on their appearance, and within a few minutes he was sketching them with pencil and paper, for Eskin was a talented artist. Forty years later, in 2011, Patty was watching a TV show about a strange flying creature. She thought it was silly and was wondering why anybody would make a show about it. Then she remembered what she had seen when she was a little girl. She searched online and found a site about what Eskin Kuhn had seen in 1971. How surprised she was when she saw the sketch he had drawn. Not only did those two pterodactyls look like what she had seen but it was in the same area of Cuba: Guantanamo Bay.That is when she contacted Jonathan Whitcomb, the author of nonfiction books about living pterosaurs. Seven years later, in 2018, that author wrote this book, "The Girl who saw a Flying Dinosaur," the first such book he had written for children. Yet this book has much more about these flying creatures than just two stories. It explains why many children and adults have seen these animals around the world and why most people do not believe the eyewitnesses, in countries like the United States. The author did not get that story of the ropen of Umboi Island from second-hand accounts or rumors from missionaries in Papua New Guinea. He personally interviewed three of those native eyewitnesses himself, face-to-face, on his expedition on that tropical island (in 2004). As a forensic videographer, he judged those three eyewitnesses to be completely credible, only after interviewing.

Download or read book Searching for Ropens and Finding God written by Jonathan Whitcomb and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fly above common true-life adventures, and dive into what may become the most unsettling scientific discovery since Copernicus and Galileo: living pterosaurs of the modern world--what a discovery! It soars above disputes about religion, revealing why an official discovery of an extraordinary animal has been delayed for so long. Above all, this explores human experience: eyewitnesses and those who interviewed them. People have become connected by common encounters; persons of various faiths, with various levels of education, from various countries and cultures, have seen a living pterosaur, commonly called "pterodactyl." Notwithstanding the delay in the official scientific discovery, eyewitnesses from around the world continue to encounter these flying creatures: featherless, long-tailed, often larger than any known bird. A few Americans explored a few islands in the southwest Pacific, in brief expeditions scattered between 1993 and 2007, looking for a modern pterosaur. "Creationist" each man was labeled, yet many of those following them, in recent years, carried no religious purpose. The creatures have many names: seklo-bali, duwas, wawanar, indava, kor, kundua. In Papua New Guinea, natives in isolated communities speak in village languages numbering in the hundreds, yet many natives carry a common fear in the dark: a huge glowing creature flying in the night. Natives on Umboi Island call it "ropen." Three American Christians--one middle-aged LDS-Mormon high priest and two younger Protestant Young Earth Creationists--explored parts of Umboi Island in two separate expeditions in 2004, interviewing native eyewitnesses of the elusive ropen. They returned home even more convinced that long-tailed pterosaurs live, even thrive, in Papua New Guinea. This resulted in the publication of several books, two scientific papers in a peer-reviewed journal, and over a thousand blog posts, written mostly by those who trudged the jungle trails of Umboi themselves and spoke with the eyewitnesses face to face. Those two expeditions in 2004 also cleared the path for other searches in Papua New Guinea and elsewhere, including expeditions led by those with no religious purpose in searching for ropens, namely the Destination Truth and Monsterquest television shows. This book illustrates how we succeed better by working with those of different faiths in pursuing a common goal, in this case finding a modern living pterosaur and supporting each other in our common beliefs and values. Why has the official scientific discovery been so long delayed? The causes are multiple and interrelated, but one obstacle has been resolved. Speculation that religious bias of investigators has played a big part in sighting reports of apparent pterosaurs--that conjecture has been shot down. Consider the words of Sandra Paradise, an eyewitness in Georgia: "The world is now totally different. I feel blessed that God has allowed me to see this creature that should not be here, and yet is, this strange dragon-like thing that lives somewhere in the woods . . ." Steven Cottingham, a government official in New Guinea many years ago, told the author, "My sighting occurred at night near Lab Lab on the southern tip of Umboi. The light lasted for four to five seconds, and until reading your reports now, have never been able to explain the sighting." The American flight instructor Duane Hodgkinson told the author about his encounter with a long-tailed flying creature in New Guinea: "It was a big one! I have a Piper Tri-Pacer airplane [wingspan twenty nine feet] and it appeared to be about that size." Patty Carson, of Southern California, said, "It did have a tail and it had a diamond shaped tip . . . The skin was a leathery, brownish reddish color. It had little teeth, a LOT of them."

Download or read book Modern Pterosaurs written by Jonathan Whitcomb and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition - This fully supports the literal Flood of Noah in the Bible, although the genre is nonfiction cryptozoology. For countless years, an old photograph has been seen on the internet, and some persons report they had seen it in a book decades before there was an internet. Now two scientists share their astonishing discovery: This is a genuine photograph of an actual animal that appears to have been a modern pterosaur, perhaps even a Pteranodon. Share in the excitement as one piece of evidence after another accumulates in favor of "Ptp" being a pre-1870 photograph of a modern pterosaur. Some evidences were independently discovered by two men (a physicist and a forensic videographer) who later shared their similar findings with each other, verifying the authenticity of Ptp. Was this photo created by a hoaxer who used Photoshop? See for yourself, as time and again the Photoshop conjecture is shot down. The missing-fingers of one of the soldiers in the photo is answered soundly, in a number of ways. The apparent "halo" near part of the head of another soldier-that is also answered. Not only did Photoshop have nothing to do with those details but there would have been no reason to use Photoshop in that way, if somebody wanted to create a hoax photo with some kind of model looking like a recently-deceased "pterodactyl." This is explained, in the book, by a videographer who has used Photoshop and knows how a hoaxer would and would not have used digital image-processing software. Don't confuse two photos that resemble each other. An imitation was created around the year 2000, apparently with Civil War reenactors, and that hoax-photo was made to look old, probably with software like Photoshop. It was then used in promoting a television show, but that IS NOT the photo examined in this book. Learn how others have been fooled by the similarity between those two photos. How much more credible is the Ptp photo! How could such an astonishing photograph have eluded scientific discovery for so long? That is also explained by the author, Jonathan Whitcomb, who has spent more time in the investigation of eyewitness reports of apparent extant pterosaurs than probably an other person in the world. Why did it take Whitcomb so many years to fully come to believe in the authenticity of Ptp? That is also explained, for this photograph has escaped the serious attention of almost everybody until January of 2017. Several introductory chapters include many sighting reports of large flying creatures, some of the accounts being published here for the first time. The descriptions of those apparent pterosaurs are compared with the apparent Pteranodon in Ptp. You'll learn why at least some of the sightings must have been encounters with actual extant pterosaurs. Above all, you'll learn why the animal shown in Ptp was a real pterosaur, probably shot by one or more of the soldiers shown in the photo. Support the continuing research by purchasing your own copy of "Modern Pterosaurs."
