Videos about the ropen (or modern living pterosaurs, by whatever name) seem to be rare
on YouTube, but then so is the ropen itself. Still, some of the eyewitness interviews are
intriguing: not all eyewitness are superstitious natives; in fact some are Americans.
YouTube videos on either ropens
or other extant pterodactyls
The following videos are of interviews with eyewitnesses:

The following is a very questionable video of something that
some viewers guess is a "ropen." But experts disagree.

This looks very much like a Frigate bird but not a ropen. In addition,
the location is questionable. The last comment was made "1 year ago."
This is very likely a video of a common sea bird (Frigate bird).


The following is a television episode of "Destination Truth."
This includes a rare videotaped segment: the ropen bioluminescence.
