It's been many months since I posted anything
here about the living-pterosaur investigations,
so here's the good news:
General announcement of the
results of the 2006 expedition:
In Granbury, Texas, on November 20,
2006, Paul Nation was interviewed
by Jonathan Whitcomb, who found his
testimony highly credible and his
video footage completely convincing:
Earlier in the month, in a remote
area of the interior of the mainland
of Papua New Guinea, Paul had video-
taped the bright glow of what the
local villagers call "indava." The
two investigators believe it is the
same kind of creature called "ropen"
on Umboi Island. They believe it is
a long-tailed pterosuar.
Paul learned about this remote
mountainous area of Papua New
Guinea from Jacob Kepas, a pastor
who went on the Woetzel-Guessman
expedition of 2004.
Paul's funding for the 2006 expedition
was mostly from the generous contribution
of Alex Aguila, who learned about ropen
investigations from reading the book
"Searching for Ropens," by Whitcomb.
(After Aguila inquired about how he
could contribute to an expedition,
Whitcomb referred him to Paul.)
Early in November, about 160 miles north-
by-northwest of the capital, Port Moresby,
Paul had seven sightings of what investi-
gators call the "ropen-light." One night,
he videotaped two of the distant glowing
forms as they flew together up and over
a nearby mountain ridge. Although this
video footage shows no shape of the
creatures, it is the first visual
evidence for investigators in the
Western world. In confirms that the
bioluminescent glow is very bright.
What wonderful news to those who hope
that these elusive creatures are living
pterosaurs! Each particle of evidence
increases support that will eventually
result in a major expedition.
Jonathan Whitcomb

JDW!!!
Hey, glad to see you back!
I've been wondering how the search for the ropen was going!
I'm glad they got some video of it, even if it was at night. Hopefully you or they can get some daylight shots!
Good luck and I hope you are successfull!
Jim

Hello jdw! So glad to hear this. Is any of the video on your site? Would love to see it.
There's to be a documetary, The real lost world. They speak of a pteridactal type animal seen in parts of S. America. Parts where even the natives will not venture into. I doubt very much they have anything taped, but it's interesting these sightings are else where also.
Please keep us posted, so glad there was another expedition.
Here's jdw's sites and info on the Ropen for those who weren't here back then.

Thank you so much for updating us jdw.
Been wondering about you and how it was going.

 Wow JDW. Good stuff dude. I read about your research here a while ago & was also hoping to here any updates. I do believe there are more than a few prehistoric beasts or their modern couterparts.
 There are way too many untouched parts of the world & too many almost identical native legends from all parts. I put 2 & 2 together. S. & Central Americas, the Congo, Great Rift, Indonesia, the oceans depths, the mountain systems, etc... all have hidden treasures amongst them.
In my opinion, the great lizards were too successful to have all been the victims of extinction.
How about any new species besides the ropen? Even the flora must be bewildering. I definitely need to see more.
Like I said, Wow.

Please keep us posted jdw! I'd love to see the televised broadcast too, so let us know when.
This really needs a good photographer along, much luck on the next expedition!
Sure wish I could do more than just talk about it.

Thank you for your patience. After receiving the 41-page scientific
report, it was a few more days before I could get just an excerpt
prepared for web pages (with explanations in plain English).
Here is the first page of the simplified report (introduction):
http://www.ropens.com/report/pg-01/
The Table of Contents (web page contents):
http://www.ropens.com/report/pg-10/
The significance? I believe this is the first visual evidence to enter
the United States: the bioluminescence of one or two living
pterosaurs! There is no form visible: just two lights. But there
should be much more to come, I hope within the next two years.
Why? Interest is increasing and credibility is growing as well. That
means funds for more expeditions and all it takes is one well-
planned major expedition to get good photos and video footage of
these creatures in Papua New Guinea.
