Speaking of giant skeletons and the Smithsonian... Check this out!!! http://www.amazon.com/The-Ancient-Giants-Ruled-America/dp/1591431719/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386017952&sr=8-2&keywords=smithsonian+giant "A study of the substantial evidence for a former race of giants in North America and its 150-year suppression by the Smithsonian Institution"

Hi Shelly, One of the 'legit' museums has been accused of much worse: "During the time of the discovery, the Smithsonian was taking possession of nearly every giant skeleton found throughout the entire country, including the largest discovery of skeletons found in the Great Mound in Ohio. What the intent of the institution was for the giant skeletons has never been discovered, but several investigators today believe the Smithsonian was founded at least in part to take the skeletons and hide or destroy them, dumping some by the barges full in the Atlantic Ocean."

I couldn't wait that long. Ok here's some tidbits, in no particular order, of 139 sightings on the Olympic Peninsula that we've researched so far. Sightings by month : 23 - July 20 - October 15 - April 15 - August 14 - September 12 - June 09 - January 08 - March 07 - November 06 - December 05 - February 05 - May ** The remainder aren't dated ** 89.9% of Olympic Peninsula reports are at under 1,000ft in elevation. Of the 14 reports that are above 1,000ft in elevation, August has 4, April has 2, June has 2, October has 2 and Feb/Mar/Jul/Sept all have one. The months of Nov/Dec/Jan do not have a report over 1,000ft from the 139 we have researched. 4 reports reported a form of speech. 29.3% of Class A reports involved road crossings. The six months of Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr only made up 24% of Class A sightings. 91.3% of all Class A Sightings were under 1,000ft in elevation. Since the year 2000 there have been 63 sighting reports, with the months of October ( 10 ), September ( 9 ), August ( 9 ) and July ( 9 ) being the most fruitful months, These numbers, specifically the elevations, differ quite considerably to other parts of WA State. The high number of road crossings is significant where elevations are concerned due to there not being any main roads that use higher elevations on the Peninsula, unlike other areas of the State. Highway 101 for example ( correct me if i'm wrong someone but i thought of this recently when there ) rarely travels at any kind of elevation over 500ft or so it seems and mainly sticks to the coastal areas, around the National Park and Forest. Another thing to note where elevation is concerned is that these Animals could highly likely make up 4,000ft in elevation in an afternoon/evening but we can only use the location of where the reports were from of course. Interesting stuff and the more work we do, the more numbers we have to play with. We could break this down so much more of course even now but for the time being, it's some food for thought.

Oh, I think there's some weighing of options / consideration of risks. Most of the other things you mention fit in there ... flee? Freeze? Hide? ... are evaluated. As is "do I know this particular little pink monkey?" and "what does his body language say he's about to do?" I've never seen serious aggression from them, so suggestions of a pause before aggressive action falls on deaf ears. They may bluff but they flat out do not want direct confrontation with us. I'm kind of sick of "scary monsters" talk. MIB

I wonder if this "AMA/AAM" that accredits museums, is anything like the FDA that "approves" drugs like Vioxx & "foods" like Aspartame...... I've found that a lot of times "unapproved" may turn out to be the better choice.
