      Why is the Forest Service and BLM so quiet about Bigfoot?

      By georgerm · Posted

      When I worked for the Forest Service back in 1974 and 1975, I had no concept of what the agency's stance was on bigfoot. While on the job, if I had a sighting, I would have reported it to my boss who was higher up in the district office of the Rogue River National Forest of Medford, Oregon. He probably would have told me to not report it to the wildlife officer since this would put my job in jeopardy. My annual job performance review was coming so I would not have reported it to those higher up in the chain of command. Since my annual review was coming up, and if I reported the sighting to the wildlife officer, I probably would have been fired for disobeying my immediate boss. I would guess the Forest Service has not changed their stance presently, and they call bigfoot a mythical creature for a reason. This means they are not real, so they have no effect on Forest Service policy. Work someplace else if you don't understand the policy.

      I'm pretty confident that it would be absorbed, and I wouldn't hear squat about it again.   Almost universally, sensitive information that I was involved in was absorbed by management, dealt with confidentially, and it remained quiet. And I remained quiet about it as well, and that confidentiality served me well with management.

      If you had a sighting? Would you report it up the chain of command? And if you did? What do you think the response would have been?   I mean I would be glad to be wrong. It would be wonderful to have some agency some where take this seriously. But looking outside in?   It’s a stone wall.   And I think witnesses deserve better!

      Oh, I need to add something:   I was a supervisor in the Roads and Grounds shop for a few years. Had one of the men in the shop come to me with a sightings report, I would have most definitely handled it differently than if I'd had the sighting myself.    If I'd seen one myself, I would be included to report it to my supervisor...............but if I had a low opinion of him, I probably wouldn't report it. But if I was the supervisor, and it was reported to me? I would go to the site and look for sign first, but whether or not I found anything, I would have definitely brought it up my chain of command. I would probably skip the Branch Chief and go directly to the Public Works Director. It's just a matter of responsibility.

      When I say Government, I mean the people who control it. Whom ever has the power to stigmatize a subject. Project Blue Book claiming a UFO is nothing more than swamp gas. People who make April Fools jokes on the official U.S. Forest Service website about Bigfoot. Etc.   This isn’t the actions of low level people. This is an active decision by the people who run the show.
