Herons are very pterodactyl-y. They also make some of the most godawful sounds in the world. Nothing like going fishing in the evening and scariung up one of these things. One moment it's just you and the river, the nest there's some giant prehistoric monster-bird exploding out of nowhere and sounding like it's dying.

A Pelican is the modern bird which resembles a Pterodactyl the most and i'm not saying that this is whats been seen,i was'nt there,but its a possible candidate for what people saw and some of these birds have a 10 foot wingspan and a 14 inch beak...

This sounds like a horribly strange question but were you near a military base? Google "Superstition Psyops," an actual military term.

I suspect that what you saw was probably some kind of carrion of some variety, neither a Mesozoic reptile nor a military psyop. I am not doubting you, just noting that extraordinary claims have an extraordinary requirement for reproducible evidence.

Fair point. I note that oceanic organisms seem to preserve their phenotypes better. Land and air creatures seem to change. I am not evolutionary biologist, and do not claim to be. That is simply an observation.

As for ghosts, well, I can say that any ghost still hanging around after 65 million years has serious self-esteem issues.

Whats going on with the variation of change during evolution when comparing ocean life and land life? For instance sharks have looked the same for hundreds of millions of years...Whats up with that?...A thread in the making i think?

Ghosts might be souls trapped in a limbo of the lost,those who died violently and unexpectedly and the dinosaurs may have been very swiftly wiped out and very violently by a cosmic horror,that 6 mile wide asteroid hitting earth at around 35,000 mph with a force of around 2,000,000 hydrogen bombs and so maybe thats why some of them are still seen as ghosts so long after that cataclysm happened?

Perhaps the oceanic environment is more conservative than land environments. "Water world" might not force life to adapt so differently over time. Even dolphins and fish converge in their basic body shape, despite their vastly different genotypes. Again, I am no biologist but it is an interesting question.

As for the ghost thing, well, I find politicians scarier than ghosts any day!
