Who cares what you personally believe!? Who cares what Meldrum or Bindernagel believe!? Who cares what thousands of witnesses have witnessed!? Who cares what I believe!? In order to claim a scientific discovery? Requires PROOF!!! It also requires independent verification of said proof! Thats science.....without it we would still be living in caves and painting ourselves with ochre. So rejoice that science consists of a bunch of hard asses that don't budge easily!

DWA, with all due respect, this is just another case of you inserting your fingers into your ears and screaming your agenda /beliefs at the top of your lungs. No desire to discuss any topic that may be contrary to your preconceived notions. Honest question, did you come to this forum to discuss BF with like minded individuals or did you come here to strike down the scoffics and demand your own beliefs are in fact science and thus proven/valid ???

All the above statement tells me is that you refuse to acknowledge anything or anyone else that has an opinion contrary to your own. Can you back up your claim that the ONLY people that have paid attention can vouch for them or need more data? There is not one person that has ever paid attention but came to a conclusion that they do not exist ? It amazes me that you have such personal knowledge in regards to all research and decisions made regarding the existence of this creature. In reality, I get the gist of what you are getting at DWA, but I always feel obligated to chime in when ppl make absolute statements about things that are yet unproven.

The pulse was a single pressure wave. Looks like a gunshot on the graphics software. I have recorded distant gunshots and they look very similar to this although they have much higher amplitudes and are audible to our hearing. This is one of the pulses from the infrasound zapping. I could not find a printout of the single pressure wave but this looks identical. Notice it really stands out of the noise in the rest of the trace. Those tics at the bottom of the trace are at .01 seconds. So peak to peak of the original passing pressure wave to the following overpressure bounce is .016 seconds. The zapping was a series of these pressure waves. Measuring the time between each passing pressure wave initial peak (this is one) the infrasound started at 3.41 HZ increased to 17.24 HZ then decreased to 7.69 HZ. It is not sinusoidal but a series of arriving pressure waves like a machine gun firing at a slightly different rate. Amplitude is sort of meaningless in that amplitude is relative to the gain setting of the recorder. Each pressure wave is very similar in wave form and the only variance is the length of time between the arrival of each one. However with other digital software I did not even see this until I expanded the X and Y axis. MInd you digital recorders are not designed to record outside of the human hearing range. This was done with Sonic Visualizer Software which is what the Olympic Project people use. I have no idea how BF generates these pressure waves but it is likely some kind of stuttering release of air in its lungs. And apparently they can release one at a time. The recording was in stereo and one trace has much higher amplitude than the other. Based on that the source seemed to be on my left. Post event analysis puts that behind about a 4 foot diameter log that was just behind me to the left. A depression behind the log showed that the vegetation there had been disturbed and compressed as if something had been behind the log. If true I must have walked right past the BF and did not see it.

No, not really. The key is finding the location where some bigfoot or other will pass at a predictable enough time that you can anticipate and "ambush". It's the same scheme I used when I was guiding. We never target a specific fish. We identify places where fish are most probably going to be at the time we wish to fish and catch whichever ones are present when we get there. To some degree, the reason the old time footers didn't find bigfoot was they were chasing reports of individuals who'd already left instead of positioning themselves in advance of the next bigfoot to come along. Reactive instead of proactive. They didn't have the data we do. It's still spotty but in some places it is enough to make a heck of a start. MIB

hey BigTex, Any new developments or finds?

LOL.......if you saw my Grandfathers place now, the old house is gone, and the area is in the middle of Dallas. Bockman Creek ran behind his house, and is one of the main creeks in Dallas that feeds into the Trinity River. In those days, they would've had a stealthy approach into town for sure.

I have never seen a Bigfoot. I'm open to the possibility of their existence because of compelling anecdotal evidence and limited physical evidence. I'm not certain of their existence because of the lack of definitive evidence. I'm pragmatic but not cynical. That being said, I've read some very interesting and compelling habituation stories. However, I find it almost impossible to believe that no solid evidence, such as DNA samples, clear photos or video have been produced from these experiences. I've read most of this thread, although not all of it, but have yet to read a really solid reason as to why this has not occurred. Human nature is such that at least one, of the many people claiming habituation, would be motivated to profit or gain money, fame or recognition from being instrumental in providing proof of such a sensational discovery. But, so far, this has not happened. Is it because the emotional bond with these creatures is so strong that any amount of money or fame is insufficient to cause them to betray this relationship? But.... If this is true, then why do habituators feel compelled to share their experience with others. In many cases, these stories are told on public forums, such as this one. So there is obviously a need to share or to gain recognition. Whether or not the need to share is driven by the desire to help or the desire to gain attention is really somewhat irrelevant because it negates the logic of why physical proof can't or won't be provided. I just don't get it...
