Subject: Flying Whatsit.
  What has a 40 foot windspan, flys and screams like  everything?  I don't
know either but they are seeing them down in Peru.
  A remote village high on the snowcapped slopes of the Andes Mountains of
Peru is being ravaged by winged creatures that ruled the skies before the
dawn of man-the flying dinosaurs know as  pterodactyls!
  Until recently, the monstrous flying reptiles, believed to have been extinct
for more than 120 million years, had attacked  only the villagers llama
herds, but there is grisly new evidence that humans are falling prey to
their savage fury.
  Over the past seven months, at least four different pterodactyls have been
seen attacking the llama herds and menacing the herders. The largest of
those is said to have a wingspan of beteeren 35 and 40 feet - about the size
of a single-engine Cessana plane
  "This entire situation simply staggers the mind", declared Department of
Interior spokesman Gustava Legula, "I have been in the village of San Pasco
and I have see the flying giants with my own eyes.  They are a creation of
the devil himself.
  These are the descendants of the flying dragons that lived in the time of
the dinosaurs.  They were the largest creature ever  to soar above the earth
before they became extinct millions and millions of years ago, and yet they
are here today in Peru, living in the caves of the mountains.  Tkhey have
almost wiped out the llama herds and now, they have also taken human lives.
 Legula explained that villagers have failed to return to their homes after
setting out in search of the flying reptiles.
  Although no bodies have been found, the tattered and blood stained remains
of their clothing have been recovered from the rugged slopes where
pterodactyls have frequently been seen.
  Villager Guillermo Bejar was tending his llama herd early one morning when
three of the prehistoric monsters swooped out of the sky and attacked him
and his animals.
  There is no warning when they attack.  They plucked my poor animals from the
ground and carried them to their death.
  Bejar, one of about a dozen villagers who has witnessed the savage attacks
barely excaped with his life as the pterodactyls carried off his llama herd.
  It is known that pterodactyls lived in this part of the world during the
Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.  Their fossils have been found not only  in
South America but in North Ameriaca as well.
  This is me (John Winston) speaking now. Did you ever hear of such a thing in
your life? The next thing they will be saying is that these things are being
seen a little ways from Malibu, Calif. Well I never---.
