In this episode, we sit down with Jacob Guerra of the Ropen Network to explore one of the most controversial mysteries in cryptozoology—living pterosaurs. Across remote regions like Papua New Guinea, eyewitnesses continue to report encounters with the ropen, a massive, featherless flying creature described as a long-tailed, glowing predator that mirrors prehistoric pterodactyls and pterosaurs thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago. These creatures are often said to be nocturnal, bioluminescent, and unlike any known bird or bat, with leathery wings, elongated tails, and even head crests reminiscent of fossil records . Jacob shares his pursuit of the truth behind these sightings, the patterns hidden within eyewitness testimonies, and why some believe these “flying dinosaurs” never vanished at all—but adapted, evolved, and continue to evade discovery. If the ropen is real, it challenges everything we think we know about extinction, evolution, and what might still be lurking just beyond the edges of our understanding.

Mr. Guerra is the founder of The Ropen Network and a lead journalist contributor with CC Media, where he conducts ongoing field investigations into cryptozoological and paranormal phenomena; with a special focus on the modern pterosaur phenomenon, including eyewitness reports of “Ropens” across the globe. With over 26 years of experience in both cryptozoology and parapsychology, Jake has carried out extensive research and field interviews throughout the Americas, exploring encounters with mysterious creatures and unexplained events. Beyond the field, he brings a diverse professional background as a laboratory technician, legislative aide of 11 years, legal translator, and field interviewer, all of which strengthen his methodical and multidisciplinary approach to investigation. His work seeks to bridge the gap between eyewitness testimony, scientific analysis, and cultural understanding in the study of the unknown.
