LIVING PTEROSAUR | Bioluminescence in Florida, Ropen Case Files, Pterodactyls

“In Lake Wales, Florida, from 2012 to 2016, a young man and his siblings had a truly surreal experience that would be hard to believe—if there weren’t multiple eyewitnesses to back it up. Imagine standing outside on a moonlit night, gazing up at the sky, when you see something that challenges everything you thought you knew about prehistoric creatures. This wasn’t a plane or a bird—it was a Pterosaur. and not just any Pterosaur, but one that displayed an eerie, glowing bioluminescence, a feature previously thought to be exclusive to deep-sea creatures. The first sighting came during broad daylight, but the second, even more chilling one, took place under the light of a full moon. What made this encounter even more astonishing was that it wasn’t just one observer. The creature was also witnessed by his siblings, making the story even more compelling and perhaps impossible to dismiss. Could this be a modern-day encounter with a creature thought to be long extinct, or is there something more mysterious going on in the skies over Lake Wales? While Lake Wales might have been the setting for one unforgettable sighting, Alessandro Guerra’s experience along Normandy Beach near Miami took things to a whole new level. It was just another jog for Alessandro, an ordinary day in 2015, when something extraordinary happened. As he was running along the beach, he saw them: not one, but two Rhamphorhynchus, soaring just above the ocean’s surface. For anyone who’s studied pterosaurs, the sighting of a Rhamphorhynchus is particularly remarkable. This species, with its elongated tail and narrow wings, once ruled the skies during the Late Jurassic period. Yet there they were, flying low to the ocean in a graceful, almost surreal display. Alessandro, in his wildest dreams, never thought he’d witness such a moment, let alone have it play out right before his eyes. It wasn’t just the majesty of these ancient flyers that took his breath away—it was the undeniable fact that something long thought to be extinct was living in our skies. Could it be a remnant population, somehow surviving through the ages? Or was this an anomaly—a one-time event that might never be repeated?”
