I'm beginning to rethink things, might be true

"Scott, Many Years ago around 1977 I was standing on the front porch of my mom's house. I heard a loud swooshing sound and I looked up. It was around 8:OO in the morning and a crystal clear day. The sun was to the east of me and I was facing south. I looked up and flying directly over me was a huge pterodactyl. My oldest son who was around 4 at the time saw it also. It was such a clear beautiful day and it was an awesome sight. I live in the Mojave Desert and there was absolutely nothing obstructing my view. I called for my mom to come out but by the time that she got there it was too far away for her to make it out. Of course everyone thought that I'd lost my mind and certainly no one believed me. It was a tannish color and had wings like a bat. I would say that it's wing span was approximately 14 feet. It was flying (at a guess) about as high as 1 1/2 telephone poles. It was quite large. The thing that puzzled me was after seeing pictures in books, these birds don't seem to have a tail but this one had what appeared to be a long bony type tail behind it. Around 10 years later I heard a story of someone being on the El Mirage dry lake and seeing the same thing. Of course, no one believes them either. I wasn't crazy and I know what I saw and I loved it. It was great and I'd like to see it again but this time holding a camera in my hand. The other day I was telling the story to my friend and you could tell that she was waiting to hear the punch line. Anyway, I decided then to go online and see if anyone else has seen it. I was thrilled when I found your website. I seem to recall some years ago, a small article in the paper stating that one had been seen in Louisiana. Oh well. Happy dinosaur hunting!"

Another Pterosaur sighting

"Hi Scott, I live in Bristol RI and I saw a pterodactyl the second week of October 3 years ago. I was on the deck of my house at about 10:00 having a cigarette. I heard a sound coming from my right hand side, and I looked up. It was a pterodactyl. I got a good look at it. There is a row of cedar trees along my back yard, about 20 feet high. He or she flew above these trees circled my house, and kept circling the house. By the 6th time I was scared. I went to get my husband that was asleep and he waited with me outside for a few minutes, and we didn't see it, nor did he believe me. I have read about other descriptions of these things, but there is one thing I find to be different. This one has small legs underneath that didn't seem to be in proportion to the rest of the body. My guess to the width of it to be about 15 feet. Please let me know of any other sightings that you have heard of. Paula (9 Sep 2004)"
