A Shropshire, UK resident and others observed a goose-sized 'Pterodactyl-like' flying creature. He later heard of a similar sighting in the same town on the same day.
I received the following account:
"Hello, mate. I live in Shropshire, UK. Back in 2018, during the summer, I and others observed a Pterodactyl-type animal. I had my glasses on at the time (I'm short-sighted) so am very sure I didn't mistake it for either the two species of bat we have present in the area, or a bird (I used to be very interested in ornithology and know what types of bird we have here).
I got a good enough look to see it had fur patches and amber eyes. Its vocalization was very "throaty" (I don't know a better way to describe it) and it could make the noise without opening its mouth. The animal was a little smaller than a Canadian Goose but had a long stiff tail section, an extremely long beak, and a ray that extended back beyond the top of its head.
A year or so after the event I was listening to a video on YouTube as background noise and the man talking mentioned an extremely similar case seen by a woman a day after my sighting in the same town. He then mentioned another sighting a man had on Valentine's Day of that year and it seemed to be moving southward through the area.
I don't remember the YouTube channel that hosted the interview, and I'm not sure it was a migratory route, as I've returned to the area (With a DSLR and telephoto lens) around the same times and dates and have not had a repeat experience." I
NOTE: I have heard of other possible Pterosaur sightings in various locations in the UK, but this is a first for Shropshire. Lon
