Some of the researchers of the living-pterosaur phenomena wish to remain anonymous. Those who openly declare their belief in living pterosaurs include Jonathan Whitcomb and Garth Guessman of California, David Woetzel of New Hampshire, and Paul Nation of Texas. These four have explored in Papua New Guinea, searching for ropens and interviewing eyewitnesses.
 
Duane Hodgkinson, a flight instructor in Montana, is open about his 1944 "pterodactyl" sighting near Finschhafen, Papua New Guinea.

Our Association

Researchers of ropens (of creatures that may be live Rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs) have an informal association: They're governed by mutual cooperation, free from any formal agreements or hierarchy.

Our Philosophy

Most, but not all, researchers are Young-Earth Creationists, believing in the Genesis account of the creation and the Flood of Noah. Whitcomb, Guessman, and Woetzel are especially opposed to popular textbook declarations about the General Theory of Evolution. Guessman and Woetzel are classified as YEC; Whitcomb is a young-life and relatively-young-earth believer.
 
Hodgkinson seems open to whatever is discovered about the ropen.
