Some of the benefits for the young reader: 1) Is understandable yet stimulating for kids and teens of about 8-14 years old 2) Tells you not WHAT to think, like many other nonfictions, but HOW to think about possibilities 3) By a positive example, invites you to use critical thinking 4) Opens up an exciting new world: persons have seen an apparent living pterosaur 5) Uses sketches, photos, and other images to make things clear 6) Does not indoctrinate but gives you details on what people have seen flying overhead 7) Allows you to come to your own conclusions in this short non-fiction 8) Gives the young reader three of the most important interpretations possible for a sighting 9) Explains the benefits of believing someone who may be telling the truth 10) Compares one sighting report with one or more others, yet it allows you to believe what you will This is nonfiction, true accounts of children and adults who have seen what seem to be living pterosaurs, what many people call "pterodactyls" or "dragons" or "dinosaur birds." 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. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Kuhn, Eskin C; Carson, Patty (illustratore). Paperback. Encounters with living pterosaurs Live "pterodactyls?" In the United States? Many scientists have long assumed all pterosaurs died millions of years ago. Now take a whirlwind tour of many years of investigations in cryptozoology, and prepare for a shock: At least two species of pterosaurs have survived, uncommon, not so much rare as widely, thinly distributed. Nocturnal pterosaurs have always lived among us, but hidden by something. Enter now the realm of a new branch of cryptozoology, a branch overshadowed by the dogma of a "universal extinction." How did scientists miss living pterosaurs? Get the answers here, hidden secrets about how these amazing flying creatures of the night have gone mostly unreported: Until recently, almost nobody would listen to eyewitnesses; but for the past seven years many of them have been interviewed by the author of this book. Many modern pterosaurs are much larger than any bat, many with long tails, many with head crests. What about news headlines? How did these creatures avoid media attention? Get the answers from years of work by American cryptozoologists. The old "fruit bat" explanation for reports of pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea--that bat idea has now been shot down; the tail length of the larger creatures has been estimated at a minimum of ten feet and a maximum of over twenty feet. More shocking, these giant long-tailed flying creatures are not confined to the southwest Pacific: They are seen in the contiguous United States of America. Most pterosaurs in North America, however, are smaller, with many wingspan estimates at less than fifteen feet; nevertheless, how shocking! What amazing encounters! In California, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and many other states, eyewitnesses have seen strange featherless creatures flying overhead. These are not bats; most have long tails and are bigger than any bat. Dive into eyewitness testimonies; compare sightings through the author's detailed analysis.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Nedrelo, Dan; Kuhn, Eskin; Carson, Patty; North, Rebecca; Dobbs Jr., Richard (illustratore). Paperback. Fly above common true-life adventures as you 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 experiences-of 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. This item is printed on demand.

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."
