Cryptozoology and Pterosaurs
In general, this is not about biology and fossils. Sighting reports of pterosaurs make this a study in cryptozoology. (And dinosaurs are distinct from pterosaurs, which are sometimes called "pterodactyls.")Modern Pterosaur
Without any preconceived notions about precisely how a modern pterosaur might or might not differ from one known from typical pterosaur fossils, let us be open minded in the study of these sightings.

Marfa Lights Intelligence
Have I talked too much about Marfa Lights? Maybe, but not recently. I would like to extrapolate on the blog post “Marfa Lights Explanation.” Regarding intelligence, why would people dismiss it and search through the scuffy landscape of southwest Texas, figuratively speaking, for … Continue reading
Why Must a Modern Pterosaur be Nocturnal?
To begin, I’ll back track: I believe that a species of modern pterosaur could be diurnal but it would be likely a rare species living in a remote area. It would be an exception. The general rule points to nocturnal … Continue reading
Glowing Pterosaurs Interpretation of Marfa Lights
Of course the precise concept of “glowing pterosaurs” for Marfa Lights seems speculative, at least until an eyewitness comes forward in that area of Texas and the sighting ties together flying balls of light and pterosaurs. That said, eyewitnesses in … Continue reading
Marfa Lights Like Warmer Nights
Whether or not CE-III Marfa Lights are caused by pterosaur-like creatures similar to the ones in Papua New Guinea, we need to determine if they are very likely caused by any kind of creature, or if they could be non-biological. We … Continue reading
Analyzing Data for a Marfa Lights Interpretation
In Occam’s Razor and Marfa Lights, I wrote about comparing the fourth hypothesis of James Bunnell with the “nocturnal flying predators” hypothesis. Simplicity awarded the flying predators with victory, for “Electromagnetic Vortexes” requires too many unknown entities. Now I would … Continue reading
Occam’s Razor and Marfa Lights
Occam’s Razor, according to Wikipedia, “is a principle that generally recommends selecting the competing hypothesis that makes the fewest new assumptions, when the hypotheses are equal in other respects. For instance, they must both sufficiently explain available data in the … Continue reading
Return of the Marfa Lights
It seems easy for some Americans to imagine a modern pterosaur living in some remote jungle in Papua New Guinea. It’s not so easy to imagine one in the United States. But reports of living pterosaurs here in North America … Continue reading
Marfa Lights, Ghost Lights
I cannot emphasize enough the importance or avoiding simplistic evaluations and careless classifying of mysterious lights. Marfa Lights of type CE-III move unlike hunting barn owls and unlike car headlights. Some of the ghost lights in the United States do … Continue reading
Are Marfa Lights Nocturnal Scavengers?
Vultures scavenge in daylight. Could Marfa Lights be nocturnal flying scavengers? I don’t mean to put down the bat hunting hypothesis, regarding the splittings and rejoinings that may have given rise to the comment from residents about “dancing devils.” That … Continue reading
Halo CME’s and Marfa Light CE-III’s
James Bunnell, author of Hunting Marfa Lights, seems to have made an objective evaluation of the conjecture that the earth’s magnetosphere may be related to ML’s (mystery lights near Marfa, Texas). On pages 173-176, he goes into detail, and explains how … Continue reading
