1968/04/01 - Magazine Article - The Search for Bigfoot
Trogluddite posted a topic in Patterson-Gimlin Film Reference Materials
Published in the National Wildlife Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 3 (April May, 1968) article written by Dick Kirkpatrick, Executive Editor. While the text of this article can be found on several sites, the attached document came straight from the vaults of the National Wildlife Foundation. Much to my surprise, they had this back copy and were very generous in having someone scan it. Forum Member Bill (Munns) passed on a newspaper article from 1970 found by his fellow researcher, SquatchD. I've included that clipping from the Wilmington (DE) Morning News here rather than give it a separate entry because it it primarily serves to bolster this article rather than shed direct light on the P-G film.

Threw Rocks, Watched Me Run — Bigfoot Encounter in Oregon Mountains
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Society Podcast
What happens when a quiet hike in Oregon turns into a pinecone-hurling showdown with something unseen? In this chilling episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron takes you deep into the Hardesty Trail System near Oakridge, Oregon — where one hiker’s casual afternoon turned into a haunting encounter with a creature that seemed to be toying with her. You’ll also hear firsthand stories from Southern Indiana, the Navajo Nation, Northwest Ontario, and Quantico, Virginia — each revealing eerie experiences, mysterious footprints, glowing eyes, and the unmistakable sense of being watched. From missing goats on the rez to a juvenile Sasquatch peering from a tree fork, these raw TikTok call-ins will leave you questioning what’s really out there. Whether it’s the breathing outside a window, the rock throws in the woods, or the face caught on camera — these aren’t legends. These are real stories. Real people. Real fear. Stay with us.

What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?
norseman replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
It’s my experience that most mills in the USA have shut down. Most lumber comes from Canada right now. My home county is very lucky with four mills. But most are lucky to have one mill. I drove through Whitefish Montana recently. It’s all looking like Aspen Colorado now. Posh. Pricey. No longer logger based. https://www.mtpr.org/2024-04-18/lumber-mill-closure-leaves-seeley-lake-wrestling-with-a-timberless-future The reason is in a large part because areas that own private forests can sustain themselves. Those that rely on federal timber sales? Are gone. The only exception I know of is down by Headquarters Idaho. That Forest seems to be pro logging to this day. Why? I dunno. But I agree with you that if Bigfoot hunts Deer? Deer like logging cuts and burns. They like tender browse. -

What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?
georgerm replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
So why is the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management so tight lipped or openly jokes about the bigfoot issue? The bigfoot/alien issue is for another thread. For now, bigfoot is enough to discuss Let's say that you are in charge of our national forest and your job is to make sure that the nation gets enough forest trees so builders can build homes economically. Along comes news of the endangered species called the Spotted Owl that causes wildlife biologist to call for forest areas to be spared from logging so the populations of these owls can remain intact. As this is happening government wildlife biologist report to their superiors with bigfoot video films and footprint casts. This bigfoot evidence is coming from all areas of the national forest and not just small pockets of forest as with the case of spotted owls. The Forest Service faces logging shut downs or is forced to make up a mythical wildlife fairy tale about bigfoot. "The habitat to one of Americas greatest legends may be at risk," stated by Thaddeus Guttenberg, U. S. Forest Service, Mythical Wildlife Division. The term bigfoot is tossed into the myth category. https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/blog/loss-space-threatening-north-american-sasquatch My opinion is logging can continue with the sustained yield forestry practices where trees are constantly planted so there is a constant supply of lumber. How does this help bigfoot? When trees are planted there is enough new vegetation growing in the sunny logged areas that supplies deer with food. Bigfoot in return has fresh deer and huckleberries to feed on during all parts of the year. -

Back Road Bigfoot - Bigfoot Eyewitness Episode 491
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio
Tonight’s guests, Beth Kolasinski and Nolan Shelby, are mother and son. In late February, of 2018, the two of them were heading home from Nolan’s last high school basketball game, in Flint, Michigan. They live in Howell, Michigan, so they had a fairly long drive to get home. Beth doesn’t like driving on highways, so she prefers to take back roads, instead of driving on highways, so she took back roads home from the basketball game that night. When they were about 25 miles from home, they were in a desolate area where there was nothing but a lot of open fields. It was raining that night, so their view of the countryside wasn’t the best. What they did get a view of that night, however, was something they never expected to see. We hope you’ll tune into tonight’s show, so you can listen to them recount their sighting. It’s a night they’ll never forget. If you’ve had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know. I’d love to hear from you. If you’d like to help support the show, by buying your own Bigfoot Eyewitness t-shirt or sweatshirt, please visit the Bigfoot Eyewitness Show Store, by going to https://Dogman-Encounters.MyShopify.com I produce 4 other shows that are available on your favorite podcast app. If you haven't checked them out, here are links to all 4 channels on the Spreaker App...

^^^ Answered on p.25, 15 pages ago. "A Green Beret presence for a missing child is unprecedented." This is why I like primary sources – the Wikipedia article on the Dennis Martin disappearance has several links to contemporaneous newspaper articles on this case and the Case Study at fn 17 talks about the Green Berets as well. The SF Soldiers were already in the area for training. Could have been a Q course class (don’t know where they did those in the 60s) or it could have been a Group just training in the deep woods, but it does not appear that they were sent there to look for DM. They were there, and in an on-the-spot decision, decided to train by searching from what I can see in those reports. Unless there was a government coverup to hide why they were .... oh wait, wrong thread!!

The green berets was the Dennis Martin case. The only reason i could see them sending in green berets was red fear. But other than that i dont know.

The Yakima Herald discussed Roger and Bob's claimed film and spoke briefly with each of them, then published this story.

Do you think somebody was pulling a gag on you? Gimlin: Uh no, no, it just uh it was surprising, and, uh, we talked about these things many times and actually talked what we would do if we happened to see one. Webster: Now before we finish the chase, you had your rifle out of the scabbard. What kind of rifle was it? Gimlin: 30 aught six rifle. Webster: And you can use a rifle obviously? Gimlin: Yes I can, I’ve grown up with one. 9:11 Webster: It’d been worth a hundred thousand dollars cash to you if you had raised that rifle and shot this creature; you must have known that. Gimlin: I don't believe I could do it.

What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?
norseman replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
First? You have to listen to what I am saying before you can make any real rebuttals. I never once said aliens have a connection with our government, much less working in cooperation with them. What I have shown you through whistleblowers, congressional hearings and facts is that our government LIES. On a whole host of issues! Not just cryptids and UFOs. And it’s extremely disingenuous on your part to pretend that some order of magnitude made up by bureaucrats in DC determines when the government LIES and when it’s being honest. Yes, this is the silliest thing I have heard. Sec of Defense: I have to go before Congress in 10 minutes! Orderly call the Office of Magnitude! Ask them where they rate the One eyed, one horned flying purple eater attack on Early Iowa. Orderly: I have them on the line sir….they say deny everything! Blame the six dead on a micro tornado and the purple blur on swamp gas! Sec of Defense: If I lie under oath at this hearing do I get immunity from the Oval Office? Orderly: They say only if you do the thing….Raytheon is getting impatient with the trials test. Sec of Defense: But their plasma rifle sucks! Ok….ok…..I will sign off! House Committee: Raise your right hand Mr. Secretary….Do you swear to tell the whole truth…. -
OH! I AM SURE! Yes. Paulides is trying to sell books. I am aware. The problem is that the Government has been involved in so many cover ups? How would it stop with cryptids? MK Uktra, The Trinity tests, the Muskogee syphilis tests, Agent Orange, etc (I won’t mention UFOs again). I had run ins with biologists lying through their teeth when they were trying (and succeeded) in getting our hound seasons closed forever. And as a firefighter of 17 years? I never saw armed Green Berets land and do a SAR search on their own. Thats extremely bizarre. So while Paulides may not be a saint? There is absolutely a kernel of truth there. MIB? You are a knower. Tell me what are the odds with all of the surveillance in the Feds arsenal today? Military, border patrol, state LE, Fire air assets, etc. What are the odds that they DO NOT know this creature exists? I would say that it’s ZERO. IMHO. So why are they dragging their feet when it comes to a USPS missing persons list? Or why do they do Bigfoot Aprils Fools day jokes on their website? Native Americans tell us Bigfoot is a cannibal and a kidnapper. I am not saying every missing persons case was Bigfoot related. But here is my statement! If only ONE of these cases is Bigfoot related and my government failed to warn me and my family about the dangers involved with stepping on their trail? It’s beyond criminal! They knew and they chose silence.

What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?
Huntster replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
Now, that right there is World Class wit! I salute you, and am jealous that I didn't come up with it. If you are not opposed, I think I need to add that to my profile signature........properly accredited, of course........ Nor do I, because I don't believe extraterrestrial aliens are visiting this planet. However, IF they were, I'm absolutely convinced that government would suppress that information from the public, and........ ..........they may very well be using the illusion that it is aliens flying around in secret military craft that they themselves are creating and experimenting with in our skies. Understood. You've done well to make that clear over the past few years that these questions have been discussed, and it's a very valid foundation of skepticism. However, I believe you are somehow missing the magnitude of another extant human species still sharing our planet, and which is nearing extinction. The worldwide political response to such news would be every bit as a concern (even if different) to national governments as the discovery of extraterrestrial aliens. There is no requirement for sasquatchery to rise to the level of fear that ray-gun toting aliens bring to the table to accept the possibility that government is suppressing the "discovery" of sasquatches. Indeed, I fear "human rights lawyers" MUCH more than I fear phaser-toting aliens, primarily because I KNOW "human rights lawyers" exist in numbers far, far greater than the numbers of sasquatches, I know what dangers they pose to both human society in the macro as well as to a dying race of primitive humans, and I don't believe phaser-toting aliens exist. Agreed, and back at 'ya. Think of our discussions on this an unqualified repeat of the Owens/Huxley public debates on Darwinism/evolution, which just happened to coincide with the acceptance (not "discovery") of the gorilla (imagine that co-incidence!)...........
