Hello there, I have been looking at your thread on and off and I'm just wondering how far from your house are you finding these footprints? I was camping out in Oregon near Prospect, Oregon, around 1980 and about two in the morning I woke up and Bigfoot was looking at me from about 50 to 60 ft away. I started doing field work and looking for bigfoot, and I got a little freaked out because there were 3 or 4 incidents when Bigfoot was acting paranormal. I attached a sketch of what I saw. I have no idea what your property looks like and some of Texas is Desert and other parts of Texas I believe have forest and brush. How do you describe your property? There's 161 pages on this thread so I'm sorry if I'm asking questions because I I don't have time to go back and read all 161 pages. I'm going to have to do some catch up so can I ask questions and can make intelligent comments. How far from the closest town are you and how many people live in the town? Do you think the Bigfoots that live around there are dangerous or shy or what kind of personalities do you think they have? What kind of an area do you think the bigfoots are making their dens in?

I admired the man. He seemed like a good person, who did some very good work. He will be missed by many on this forum. Condolences to his family.

Hey Bipedalist, how fortunate that you got to take the course with Jim Halfpenny and Jeff Meldrum. I received the flyer for it, and couldn’t make it— but how I wish I could have. We’ve had dinner with Jim when we were visiting Yellowstone,at an Asian place outside of Gardiner MT. He showed us his museum, which includes lots of track casts including Bigfoot. Anyway, message me if you want to chat about the class.

It’s not as wide as it looks when you look closely the arm is in front of that leg. It appears to be one limb. That adds to people thinking it’s the left leg but that arm and leg both get cut off by the underside.

This is really sad news to hear, and it's going to negatively affect all of our future work because Jeffrey was one true academics that always was positive in regards to the existence of Bigfoot. We simply just don't hear from Anthropologist /biologists from the top universities, and they should be on this forum posting but they're not because Bigfoot is still an animal that in many circles of academics they still don't believe Bigfoot exist. They haven't studied it. it's really insulting when you hear academics talking about Bigfoot as if it's a fairy tale and there's no real proof of it which I hear all the time. I just get disgusted when I hear academics and other people joking about those who know about Bigfoot. I just feel horrible that Jeffrey has passed, and I hope that in other University's across the United States people have the guts to stand up with their phds and agree that Bigfoot is a real creature since there is so much accumulated evidence that it could choke 10 horses. They don't agree with the evidence because it's not popular, and they know they're academic friends may put them down if they state positive opinions about Bigfoot. I just feel so bad that Jeffrey Meldrom has passed, and he was a very courageous person that stood out and didn't waiver and always told others that Bigfoot was freaking real. I had an argument with my brother this morning, and he's a Rogue River guide and duck hunter and he is not even close to being convinced that Bigfoot is real. There are so many people that you have to have Bigfoot jump out of the bushes and slap them in the face before they'll really believe Bigfoot is real. Okay this is enough of my rant. I'm really angry and sad at the same time. As a memorial to Jeffrey Meldrum, I think that each of us should contact some of these PhD biologists and let them know some of the facts about Bigfoot and see if they will join our forum. This effort will be like us packing Jeffrey Meldrum's coffin to the burial site and posting a granite tombstone remembering his contributions and encouraging other great academics to join our effort.

I missed that thread, darn it. But now that I read everyone’s comments, I’m feeling the warmth and camaraderie of the Forum!

Highbridge teenager’s Bigfoot quest hits the big screen in new documentary Burnham-On-Sea.comView the full article

Yah no.

Because they are 100% human (and thus due basic human rights), but not 100% homo sapien (which is what Zana was eventually proven to be, @120 years after her death). Agreed, however: 1) While a Neanderthal and Denisovan may have been able to successfully breed with Homo sapiens, and their offspring been able to further reproduce, Florensinsis or sasquatches might be able to reproduce with Homo sapiens, and their offspring might have been sterile........but all were of the genus Homo........... 2) If #1 is true, we will never find sasquatch or Floresiensis DNA in the current extended human record. It will have to be recovered from a sasquatch, Hobbit, or 1st generation hybrid. 2) People might see a feral human and see an Almas, sasquatch, or Hobbit, but are actually seeing a feral homo sapien..................or vice versa Let us review the "definition" of an Almas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almas_(folklore) Zana was an almas. She also just happened to be homo sapien, too..............

It's interesting. I saw a documentary some years ago - 'Bigfoot files' - it was a UK documentary regarding Brian Sykes' investigation of DNA, which had an episode looking mainly at Zana with other considerations of Almasty. I don't know if you could see it in the US but it's quite interesting if you can, and has contributions from Igor Burtsev, who excavated the grave, and from Zana's descendants. The conclusion, as you say, is that she was human (with the usual 2-4% Neanderthal DNA that almost all European/Asians have). The interesting part was that it concluded that she would have been West African. Hypertrichosis is what has been suggested as an explanation of excessive hair, which has been proven to occur sometimes as a result of hormonal changes from hunger and deprivation. An African (possibly an escaped or shunned slave from the recent Ottoman Empire) with Hypertrichosis could explain the appearance and DNA. Again, the difficult thing is weeding the scientific evidence from the anecdotal, given that Zana wasn't studied until 70+ years after she died and that the descriptions come from individuals who saw her as children over 70 years previously. Whilst open to the idea that Bigfoot is a very close relation to homo sapiens, I do question how Zana would fit into that. The DNA evidence put forth to support Bigfoot is DNA that is very close to but not quite human - unknown primate. Zana was confirmed as 100% human. If Bigfoot is 100% human, how would one account for the extreme discrepancy in size -height and girth - differences in reported facial features, mid tarsal break etc etc.? And if there is a difference in DNA, which to my mind there must be however closely linked, then one species couldn't change their DNA in order to become the other

Interesting story. Thanks for the video. It's a genuine shame that the more interesting stories happened so far back, and therefore investigated less thoroughly.

I agree. I'm thinking the good doctor is truly a "knower" at this point .

I can’t help but imagine him enthusiastically questioning Roger Patterson right now.

Yes, and there's a thread honoring the Doctor already started.

ISU anthropologist, professor and Bigfoot researcher has died Boise State Public RadioView the full article

After seeing the abdominal area cut across the right leg on debates of this there’s no unseeing it. This was the right leg.

Have seen what look like creditable obituaries that Prof. Jeffrey Meldrum has died of brain cancer. Very shocked to read this. Did anyone else know of his illness?

Yes, Wednesday last week. Why?

We Need More Data: UFO / Missile Collision Debris or Something More?#uapView the full article

I haven't, but I did visit the site of a missing friend (and at the invitation of the Alaska State Troopers with a request to search a particular area). It was a classic Alaskan disappearance, and his remains were eventually found..........although in a spot where he should have been found by initial search parties.

Unless it's an M-14, it isn't going to be portable to carry around for protection from sasquatches while simultaneously of an effective caliber..............although there are cases in Alaska of people killing bears with AR-15's in 5.56x45. https://alaskapublic.org/news/2019-01-16/polar-bear-encounter-reported-in-arctic-village-many-miles-south-of-normal-range (Note; the above story appears to have become a matter of hidden information almost immediately for unknown reasons.........I'll note the involvement of the feds..........)

They haven't come for the pre-1986 machine guns. They're still legally possessed.

In the aftermath of the heartbreaking loss of Dr. Jeff Meldrum, we'd like to share this episode of our bonus show ("Beyond Bigfoot & Beyond"), originally recorded and released in March of 2023. Dr. Meldrum was a true pioneer in the field, and was a dear friend to Cliff and Bobo. He will be missed, and our hearts are with his friends and family. Listen to the Podcast

Correct to a point. To be precise, in 1934 automatic firearms were no longer legal to possess without paying a tax and possessing a permit, and 1986 was the last year of automatic weapon manufacture which could be owned. This is more a legal closing of possession than government actually "coming for" them. I submit that the legal strangling is in every way an "infringement". I do understand and agree with the legal principle of registering and regulating ordnance and crew-served weaponry. We just can't allow every Joe Blow to have hand grenades, artillery pieces, or belt-fed machine guns. I'm not sure that a select fire rifle qualifies as such a weapon, but (after a century of fighting crime with such weapons involved), I consider it a struggle beyond my influence. I don't need an automatic rifle, and I am not interested in buying and stocking the quantity of ammunition such a rifle can burn up,. I've fired machine guns, and it was fun, but Uncle Sugar paid for every bit of it (even paying me to do it). I'm not going to invest in it.
