Multiple sightings of headless pterosaur or dragon-like wing creatures from 1978-1988 were recently reported. The general vicinity was said to be in a 'northwest suburb of Chicago.'
I recently received a telephone call from a friend of an eyewitness who was born and raised in a northwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The only specific location reference was given as 'near the Des Plaines River.'
The eyewitness 'D' discussed multiple sightings from 1978 through 1988 while he lived there as a boy. The sightings would usually occur at dusk and would continue throughout the night and there were "at least 2 winged creatures always seen flying in a wide circle at an altitude of 500-600 feet." The creatures were "silhouetted against the clouds that were backlit by the city lights."
The description of these creatures was that "there was no head or neck that could be seen. They had long, thick tails but no legs or feet were visible. The huge wings had no feathers but were membraned, similar to that of a dragon or pterosaur."
Apparently, the neighborhood residents were well aware of the nightly sightings.
This is not the first time that I have received a sighting report from the Chicago area that referenced a pterosaur or dragon-like winged creature flying in the skies. A North Chicago Portage Park community resident and his neighbor observed a huge dragon-like cryptid flying overhead while working in their yards on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. That sighting occurred at around 1:30 PM local time in the vicinity of W. Addison St. & N. Austin Ave. The full report can be found at Huge Bat-Winged 'Dragon' Recently Observed Flying Over Chicago's Portage Park Community.
Pterosaur-like winged creature sightings are quite common in the upper Midwest, including many incidents occurring in the Chicagoland region.
