I though a meteor destroyed the pterosaurs not created them.

Wow, I have a pteradactyl on my windshield too! Who knew?

Yes indeed, this is a great photo of a cracked windshield. I have one of these cracks in my windshield. I believe mine may have been caused by a pterosaur of some sort, or a common vulture. Either way I know if you do not get it fixed it will spread. Voice of experience talking here.

Maybe the windshield was cracked by something dropped by a pterosaur? The photographer was obviously too shocked to catch a pic of the beastie itself. Right?

Unknown bug, anyone? To me it’s more plausible to be a unknown bug. For instance. Maybe it’s wings move like a hummingbird. But these wings you can’t see when it flies. It may look like a windshield crack, but it may not.

The first time I saw this the most likely answer seemed to be radio-controlled model helicopter, with the rotor blades frozen by the exposure speed.
Once you factor in the presence of a windshield the solution becomes obvious. What I don’t understand is where the notion of pterodactyl ever came from ?! Perhaps it was supposed to be dive-bombing the photographer feet first with it’s wings folded up and it’s head tilted back, only a few feet away and having very long spindly claws – maybe then it could be a pterosaur.
However that is not, needless to say, what is claimed.
Last week’s car park T-bird was barely worth all the attention it got, but how this could ever be construed to be a pterodactyl is something of a cryptic phenomenon in itself.

Why speculate that it might be a Pterodactyl? Who is to say that it is not an Iguandon that was flung into the air by the clubbed tail of an Ankylosaurus?

D’oh! I knew that. I blame just coming off of night shift.

Awwww. It looks like two of them are kissing in mid-air in those last two pictures! A friend of mine scored some much cooler pictures a few years ago, thanks to a cicada on her windshield.
