Pterodactyl in Ohio
by Mark

I do believe this past Sunday, October 9, 2005, I saw a pterodactyl. It was fairly high in the sky and yet it looked large (larger than a hawk). It had an odd shaped "head" with a beak that didn't look like a bird's beak, but leathery, like its entire body. The creature had a long tail with a kind of "ball" at the end (much like in the pictures on your site). The thing appeared to be grayish. I was traveling in my car at the time and thought, "Oh, there's a pterodactyl." I recognized it from the artists' renderings I saw as a kid.

This occurred around Mount Vernon, Ohio, and is my second such sighting. (I am not sure of the date of the first one, sometime within the last five years and also in Central Ohio.) The area I was traveling in at the time is farmland and untapped land. I would think these creatures would have lived in a warm climate, but if they have survived I suppose they would have had to adapted to a changed world perhaps they can live in cooler areas as well.
