Another strange flying creature in California

June 28th, 2010

From the blog Live Pterosaurs in America, the post “Flying Creature in Los Angeles” says:

Flying only about 300 feet above the heads of two astonished humans . . . the creature appeared to have a wingspan of 10-20 feet. Also astonishing was the faint glow that led one of the eyewitnesses to connect the creature with the ropen of Papua New Guinea.

The sighting was in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County, in 2009. The two eyewitnesses seemed to be credible.

California Pterosaurs Still Living (a different sighting, also early 21st century)

An apparent ropen sighting in California is being investigated by Jonathan Whitcomb (author of the book “Live Pterosaurs in America”). According to an anonymous eyewitness, a very large creature, in daylight, in August of 2007, flew over the wildlife refuge, crossing a road in front of the car that the eyewitness was driving.

It seems that live pterosaurs or strange flying creatures may not be so rare in California.

Strange Holes in Clouds

June 16th, 2010

Under the right atmospheric conditions, an airplane flying through clouds can punch a whole in them, sometimes causing local snowfall. According to Wired Science, “Odd clouds can sometimes elude explanation for decades, and these mysterious gaps in the sky, aptly called hole-punch clouds or channel clouds, have been puzzling sky gazers and scientists alike since the 1940s. A 1968 article in the magazine Weatherwise called them “A Meteorological Whodunit?”

Wired Science continued: “Previous research also suggests that propeller planes could make snow fall when they flew through supercooled clouds, where water droplets remain liquid despite subfreezing temperatures. But until recently, a direct connection between airplanes, hole-punch clouds and snowfall was missing. Now, a team of atmospheric scientists report observing all three in the June Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.”
