in Georgia probably relate to sightings of the “Gitmo Pterosaur” in Cuba many years earlier

LONG BEACH, Calif/KSN/Jan 2, 2013 ---
Reports of living “pterodactyls” in Georgia, during the past seven years,
probably relate to sightings of some flying creatures in South Carolina
and Florida, according to author Jonathan Whitcomb, of California.
He compiled statistics, late in 2012, from sighting reports he received
over the past nine years, including accounts from eyewitnesses from
Georgia. Whitcomb believes those flying creatures in the southeastern
United States are related to the “Gitmo Pterosaur” of Cuba, a large
featherless winged animal, not yet classified in Western biology.
David Shroder, living in Towns County, GA, reported to Whitcomb his
December 9, 2012, encounter. Two other eyewitnesses were with him at
the time:
“There were three of us who saw this bird fly over, in plain sight, in
daylight, up close ..... it was a young Pterodactyl . . . I have no doubt and I
will defend what we have seen . . .”
Whitcomb believes the creature seen by those three eyewitnesses may be
the same species as the one seen by Sandra Paradise in 2008, east of
Winder, Georgia, in daylight:
“I had driven less than ten miles from the house. I had come through a
section of pasture, entering into a section of thick woods, driving around
a slight curve downhill . . . and suddenly an animal flew out from my
right. Alone in the car I shouted out loud ‘What the--- what----what IS
THAT?’ and it flew directly in front of my car, across the road.”
She told Whitcomb, “It was tan, a lighter brown, like the deer we have
here, and as far as I could see was uniform in color. The thing that made
me shout was the shape of the tail. . . . I saw it from below, and the tail
was very long with a shape on the end.”
She also told Whitcomb, “As it crossed my path, in front and slightly
above me, I saw it had a head that was curved, like a hammer; the head
had a crest on the top that was solid, not feathery at all . . .”
Another eyewitness told Whitcomb about the creature he and his wife
saw flying in front of their car in Loganville, thirteen miles southwest of
Winder, on December 10, 2012:
“[We] were driving home at around 1:30 am on Briscoe Road . . . As we
crested a hill our light came down across a large flying animal that I
instantly thought looked like a pterodactyl . . . I asked my wife if she saw
that . . . She replied, ‘Do you mean that . . . pterodactyl that just flew in
front of us? Yeah I saw it.’ I tried to put it out of my head but I can’t. I saw
what I saw.”
Whitcomb is asking for eyewitnesses to come forward and report to him
what they have seen, even if descriptions resemble flying creatures that
are thought to have become extinct millions of years ago. For those who
want to be anonymous, no names will be revealed.

Jonathan David Whitcomb, author of
three nonfiction cryptozoology books
on living pterosaurs, speculates that
some flying creatures reported in the
states of Georgia, South Carolina, and
Florida, may be the same species as
the “pterodactyls” seen at the U. S.
military station at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, in the mid-twentieth century.
These two flying creatures were sketched
by eyewitness Eskin C. Kuhn, in 1971,
when he was a U. S. Marine at Gitmo
