About the press release
“A Psychologist saw a
Living Pterosaur, Accord-
ing to American Author
Jonathan Whitcomb”
Only the contact information in the
news release is outdated; the content
of the eyewitness report is still valid:
what the Australian man saw.
Here’s the updated contact info:
Sighting of a flying creature by Brian
Hennessy and how it may relate to
other encounters in the southwest
Pacific region, according to Jonathan
Whitcomb, an American researcher
Brian Hennessy, a psychologist who has often
worked in China, including at a major medical
university there, answered the questions given
to him by the cryptozoologist Jonathan David
Whitcomb, in 2006, confirming the credibility
of other sightings of large flying creatures in
the southwest Pacific, according to the judg-
ment of that cryptozoologist.
Whitcomb realized, while interviewing Brian
Hennesy through emails, that the Australian
psychologist was not trying to convince him
that it was a non-extinct pterosaur that flew
over that ridge on Bougainville Island in New
Guinea in 1971. Yet he mentioned quite a few
details that suggest it was no bird or bat.
Consider the combination of the following:
•
“no feathers in sight”
•
The beak blended into the head
Notice how he phrased it: “The head had no
‘normal’ beak. Rather there seemed to be (and
this is difficult to describe) a kind of beak that
was indistinguishable from the head, and the
head seemed to continue this ‘point’ at the back
of the head.” In other words, the flying creature
was neither bird-like nor bat-like. Whitcomb
maintains that it was a modern pterosaur.
These are two composite sketches made in
response to two sets of silhouettes given to
Brian Hennessy (see top image) and Duane
Hodgkinson (bottom image). The two men,
both eyewitnesses of large flying creatures
in New Guinea, were each unaware of how
the other man made choices from among a
number of types of sketches.

Sighting at Bougainville,
New Guinea, in 1971
A psychologist saw
a living pterosaur
From the press release:
[He] saw . . . a prehistoric-looking
creature flying in Papua New Guinea.
Brian Hennessy . . . described [it] as
black or dark brown with a "longish
narrow tail" and a beak . . . "indis-
tinguishable from the head."
In the daylight of an early morning
on Bougainville Island, on a dirt road
that led down to the coast, Hennessy
heard a slow "flapping" and looked up
to see a "very big" creature with a
"horn" at the back of its head. . . .
[regarding the overall appearance:]
"not a feather in sight."
After thirty-five years, in the summer
of 2006, a friend of Hennessy referred
him to . . . Jonathan Whitcomb, author
of the book "Searching for Ropens,"
who [then] interviewed him. The eye-
witness account was added to the
second edition of the book [published
on May 30, 2007].
{Searching for Ropens and Finding
God is now in its fourth edition}
The subtitle for the news release is
the following:
A prehistoric-looking creature
flies over an island in Papua New
Guinea, according to psychologist
Brian Hennessy.
The late Duane Hodgkinson, a World War II
veteran who had served in the southwest
Pacific region, held onto his testimony of the
reality of the huge flying creature that he and
his army buddy saw in a jungle clearing just
west of Finschhafen, New Guinea, in 1944.
Although his buddy wanted to keep quiet
about the sighting, Hodgkinson immediately
wanted to talk about the “pterodactyl.” He
was interviewed by the cryptozoologists
Garth Guessman and Jonathan Whitcomb,
who have interviewed many other native
and Western eyewitnesses of apparent living
pterosaurs, both in Papua New Guinea and
in other areas of the earth.
