  2. This is the Hubble ultra deep field photograph. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The original NASA release, containing about 10,000 galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colors. The smallest, reddest ones are some of the most distant galaxies to have been imaged by an optical telescope, probably existing shortly after the Big Bang. Hubble Deep UV (HDUV) Legacy Survey; 15k galaxies, released August 16, 2018 ABYSS WFC3/IR Hubble Ultra Deep Field; released January 24, 2019 The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) is a deep-field image of a small region of space in the constellation Fornax, containing an estimated 10,000 galaxies. The original data for the image was collected by the Hubble Space Telescope from September 2003 to January 2004 and the first version of the image was released on March 9, 2004.[1] It includes light from galaxies that existed about 13 billion years ago, some 400 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. The HUDF image was taken in a section of the sky with a low density of bright stars in the near-field, allowing much better viewing of dimmer, more distant objects. Located southwest of Orion in the southern-hemisphere constellation Fornax, the rectangular image is 2.4 arcminutes to an edge,[2] or 3.4 arcminutes diagonally. This covers a section of the sky comparable to a tennis ball at one hundred meters. In that small section are at least 10,000 galaxies. Each with at least a million Suns. Each sun has planets orbiting them in the billions. So remember. With all those expected planets in that tiny section of the sky. Add in the rest of even just the half of the sky you can observe from your location. You really believe there couldn't be aliens observing and visiting us?

    Welcome Our New Director!

    Gigantor, thank you, especially when you helped me after I fell and was in ICU 11 nights, and 28 more in Rehab. You don't know how much you did. Norseman! Welcome to the helm! I know you will do a great, and grand job of guiding this bark through the choppy seas of Bigfootin.' Thank you for taking on the task. Regards, JHector
  5. Chad writes "Back in 1992, I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in the 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne). We were running a force-on-force training operation. I don’t recall the exact location—maybe an hour’s drive from Lewis. Our task was to defend a simulated Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) site consisting of a trailer and container meant to resemble a rocket launcher. We had two Special Forces Operational Detachment Alphas (ODAs) involved, roughly 20 guys total, plus a few support personnel. The site was backed up against the “no play zone,” so any attacking team could only approach from the west. It was fortified: two M-60 machine gun nests, a perimeter of seasoned operators, M-16s for each of us, a couple of HF radios—basic gear for a simulated “enemy” approach. No high-speed tech, no grenade simulators that I can recall. The terrain was layered: a track in front of the site, then woods, then a clean trail parallel to a ridge 150 meters to the west. Beyond that, a large field of tall grass. Ferns covered the ridge slope—dense and knee-to-hip high. Our mission was to intercept and resist any attempt to assault the SAM site, likely between dusk and sunrise. We ran rotating two-man patrols along the trail, each covering a three-hour shift. The night of the encounter, I was paired with a Sergeant First Class—an 18D medic whom I’ll call “Guy.” He’d been in group for years. I was 22 at the time, on of the youngest on site. Moonlight was strong—brilliant enough to allow stealth movement. We paced slowly, stopping every few meters to kneel and scan. After an hour, we paused under a shadowed area. Guy lit a cigarette with quiet precision—no glow exposed. I asked how he did that. He smirked and said, “Sniper check.” Then it happened. A deafening scream rang out from the ridge. At first, I thought it was an animal. But then came a bizarre shift: halfway through, it took on a human tone. Eight to ten seconds of sustained vocalization that morphed into a frantic, incoherent babble… and finally, a coyote-like cackle or laughing sound. The volume never dropped. We scanned the ridge. I spotted a silhouette—a massive figure, turning swaying side to side near a tree at the top of the ridge. It looked human. I thought, “Who in group is that size?” We went guns up. The figure turned north and walked away. We pursued him, assuming a diversion tactic to draw us away from the site. But despite jogging, we couldn’t close the gap. He moved quickly—strangely so. This went on for nearly a kilometer and a half. The forest thickened. The ridge narrowed – bottle necked. And then the figure veered east—straight toward us—charging downhill like a bipedal rhino through underbrush. Not sticks snapping… limbs breaking. I think at this moment, I realized It wasn’t human and started to categorize it. We veered northwest off the trail to intercept. It turned north, the woods were dark – perfect place for a kill zone, an ambush, I could still track its movement. Then… silence. It stopped moving. Total quiet. We crept forward—as noted this was textbook ambush territory. But nothing came. The smell did. It hit in layers. First: wet dog tangled with decay. Then: putrid infection, feces, rot. It overwhelmed me. As the stench peaked, dread set in. Danger. Immediate and primal. I glanced at Guy. He nodded: time to back out. We backed out—me facing rear, unwilling to turn my back. I feared a charge. Surprisingly, Guy was only 15 feet behind. I suspect he walked backward too. Eventually we hit the trail again, dazed. We stood in silence. Not tactical—just stunned. I have no concept of how long we stood there. I remember being totally surprised by how far we went, and how far off the trail we went. Almost like an unexplainable time warp. We never spoke of it again. The only time I had heard what Guy had experienced was later that morning as he debriefed the CO and some of the others. There is much more to this encounter that I would like to discuss with you.” Listen to the Podcast

    Is the Bigfoot Forum losing interest?

    Not a series on Bigfoot, but this History Unplugged episode of July 22, 2025 is about the U.S. expedition to capture/kill a giant panda in 1929; sorry for the lack of a link to the specific episode, but I am after all a Trogluddite. What is interesting is the first part of the episode, which discusses the scientific dismissal of the idea that pandas existed. Sure, a French priest had sent a fur back to France in the 1860s, but that was not enough to conclude that a new species of animal existed. Hopefully there will be a podcast someday about all the doubters on the existence of Bigfoot being proven wrong.
  9. What happens when a couple of friends crawl their lifted rigs up an Oregon logging road—and something on two legs slips into formation in the timber, matching speed, muscle rippling, never breaking cover? In this unnerving Bigfoot Society interview, Darren takes us back to the late ‘90s near Bunker Hill. A massive 8‑to‑9‑foot, dark brown figure paralleled their Geo Tracker from inside the tree line, long arms swinging below the knees, until it was a few yards from a wide open clearcut… 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

  23. There yah go! Book Report on 1984 by George Orwell Title: 1984 Author: George Orwell Publication Year: 1949 Genre: Dystopian fiction, Political satire Summary: 1984 is a dystopian novel set in a future totalitarian society where the government, known as "The Party," exercises total control over every aspect of life. The story follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the ruling Party in Airstrip One (formerly known as Great Britain), which is a province of the superstate Oceania. Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records to fit the Party’s propaganda. He becomes disillusioned with the regime’s oppressive control over truth, language, and even thought. His quiet rebellion begins when he starts a secret love affair with Julia, a fellow Party member who also resents the system. Together, they rent a room where they believe they can speak and act freely. Their defiance leads them to O'Brien, a senior Party official who pretends to be part of a resistance movement called the Brotherhood. However, it is a trap. Winston and Julia are arrested by the Thought Police and subjected to brutal interrogation and re-education. Through torture and psychological manipulation, Winston is forced to betray Julia and ultimately comes to accept the Party's version of reality. By the end, he loses his ability to think independently and truly believes the Party’s most absurd claims, including the ultimate surrender: loving Big Brother. Themes: Totalitarianism and Oppression: The novel depicts a society stripped of personal freedom, where the government controls not only behavior but thought. Surveillance: "Big Brother is watching you" symbolizes the intrusive surveillance that ensures loyalty and suppresses dissent. Truth and Reality: The Party controls truth through constant revision of history and denial of objective facts. Language and Thought: The invention of Newspeak illustrates how language can be used to restrict thought. Definition of Doublespeak: Doublespeak is a term derived from George Orwell’s ideas in 1984, although the word itself does not appear in the novel. It refers to deliberately ambiguous, evasive, or misleading language used to disguise the truth or make the unacceptable appear acceptable. In 1984, a related concept is Doublethink, which means the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time and accept both as true. Doublespeak functions as a tool of propaganda, enabling the government to mask lies as truth (e.g., “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” “Ignorance is Strength”). In contemporary usage, doublespeak often describes bureaucratic or political language that obscures reality. For example, using "collateral damage" instead of "civilian deaths," or "enhanced interrogation" instead of "torture." Conclusion: 1984 is a powerful warning against the dangers of authoritarianism, propaganda, and the loss of individual freedom. It remains relevant as a critique of political manipulation and the corruption of language. The concept of doublespeak continues to serve as a lens for analyzing political and corporate discourse that distorts meaning to maintain control.
