The witness read previous reports sent to me about dragons or possible Pterosaurs seen in South New Jersey. She had an interesting sighting in 2008 in California.
"On or about Sept. 3, 2008, on a clear, sunny day around 11 a.m., I was driving north on Highway 680 between Fremont and Pleasanton, California. Just at the Highway 84 off-ramp, I looked up when something large caught my eye and what I saw was a small Pterosaur flying about 30 feet above my car. Talk about “driver distraction!” It flew directly over me (perpendicular to my direction), heading East toward Livermore. The reason I can estimate its distance from me is that it appeared to be about 10 feet above the top of the traffic cam located at Highway 680/84 junction which I was approaching at that moment.
The creature looked very similar to the paintings of the “Ropen” of Indonesia and Papua. I would estimate it had about a 3-5 foot wingspan. It was light tan, all leathery skin, and the most astonishing thing was that it had no feathers! I could see the wrinkles & texture of its skin moving over its bones as it flew. The eyes were very large, round eyes, and it appeared to be young, or at least I had that impression because of its size and some of its features like the tail and the bump on the back of its head were not as developed as those depicted of adult Ropen/Pterosaurs. I thought it probably flew at night because of the size of its eyes, which were perfectly round and HUGE, much, much larger than an owl’s, for example. The eyes probably took up 40%+ of its cranial-facial area. As my rational mind was striving to take this all in, I wondered why it was flying in daylight, though it did not seem to be alarmed by anything.
The wings were triangular, slightly rounded at the tips, but I did not see any “hands” attached to the wings as these creatures are sometimes portrayed. The back of its triangular-shaped head came to a rounded point, jutting out a few inches. Its tail was not much more than a pointed “stump.” It had a fairly broad triangular-shaped beak that was longer than the “bump” at the back of its head, perhaps about 10-12 inches. Again, I was surprised at the breadth of its beak because it differed from drawings I’ve seen in books. But this was no Pelican, Bat, or anything else I’d ever seen flying through the sky. It had no feathers. As it flew, its clawed feet hung down slightly, from its body positioned more toward the middle of its underside (i.e., they were not positioned at the back of the body under the tail, nor were they attached to the wings). Its large claws were slightly curled and facing backward. I thought it looked a bit clumsy as it flew, in that its feet and legs were not tucked up tight against the body during flight like birds, they were just dangling down. I recall there were 3 visible “toes.”
I was so shocked, but also felt awe and excitement and wanted to pull over to watch it. But, alas, I had to force myself to take my eyes off of it and mind the driving. It would have been a dangerous place to stop on that busy freeway, let alone to get out of the car, and by the time I could have pulled over, the hills would have blocked the view in the direction it was flying, and of course, it would be far away by then. I witnessed this creature for 6 to 8 seconds before I had to tear my gaze away, but that was enough time to absolutely know I was looking at something very, very strange, something I had only seen in books about dinosaurs.
I have a keen interest and curiosity about nature and the nature of reality, cryptozoology, metaphysics, and spirituality. Some would consider me a good observer. This experience felt like a privilege to have been a witness to a secret aspect of our natural world. Perhaps I somehow briefly interfaced with another dimension, but it was as real and 3rd dimensional as any other animal. I told a couple of family members about it and most of them do not believe me, but I know what I saw. It’s exciting and validating to read that more sightings of similar creatures are emerging in many locations." K
