Kiwakwe, Thanks for sharing your adventure and photographs! I also love the Utah wilderness and all those slot canyons. BTW, with regard to Skinwalker ranch, I have camped on that ridge twice. One year nothing happened, but on another year a self illuminated blue orb overed over me at 45 degree angle. It just appeared and disappeared with no motion. It lasted between 30 sec and 1 minute long. I don't know what it was but it did nothing but watch or monitor us. There were 2 other witnesses. Many of the weird claims about that place are real (not based on my account but also based on colleagues who have investigated the place for last 10 years). But nobody really knows what is going on - not even Robert Bigelow who sold his ranch in 2016 to another wealthy man who is also interested in the phenomena. The saga continues. I have not watched yet the new documentary about the place, but read very good reviews; see link below. https://www.hunttheskinwalker.com/the-film/ BTW, not sure if you had a chance to explore the high Uintas Mountains north of SWR - but there are many BF reports from there and I had anomalous experiences there too.

Here is an example. These are buffalo in the same pasture as the buffalo picture I shared in the wildlife thread. What is very important is to note the elevation and eye altitude of the image. The second image is a from a similar elevation and eye altitude. Find a known object (like a car or a road) at the same elevation and eye altitude and you can determine how big an object is. If the black area in the O.P. is the size of a bus, it's probably not a bigfoot.

This guy is an experiment himself. Wonder if the person who contacted him on FB will fess up and if it was a forum admin or member at the time? If the guy proceeded with forging military documents and posting them up I am certain it would have been criminal. Do you really believe the guy was military? If you do, you have more trust in your fellow human beings than I do. I wouldn't trust a word out of this guys mouth. Longtabber PE types will continue to frequent this forum and it is up to us to out them when possible. Fine line between stolen valor, criminal and social psych experiment in this day of homeland security etc.

Those are fair criticisms, these guys could perhaps benefit from a little stricter methodology at times. On the other hand, the goal of these field videos is to be immersive and illustrative, and I don't know if spending time measuring a footprint (for example) will translate well. Maybe. But at any rate, I think the current direction on youtube is extremely positive and productive. I've been meaning to see if I can get a little discussion going on Christopher Noel's recent podcast, which is 5 eps in, The Nearness of You, I'll just link the first ep here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsPfjg3jxZg& It sort of serves as a weekly intro to various youtubers, with a common thread of sasquatch at the boundaries of human populations. But it could be better served in the Urban Bigfoot thread, not sure. There's plenty to be said more generally about the current youtube BF community and what they're doing for BF research. Other favorites are Utah Sasquatch and Colorado Bigfoot.

The orbs only appear blue to our naked eye because that is how our optical equipment can interpret the shorter wavelengths of light Those orbs are spirits. Could be human or something else and if they want something from you, they stick around (hitch hikers don't have to be visually seen). They affect everything from mood and emotions and could mess with your health, make you see illusions and worst case scenario possession (it has happened). Many seem to just like to be a problem. There are certain areas of the earth where they can come through from places unknown (please don't say portals, maybe - maybe not, no way to know for sure). Maybe they have nothing else to do. Theory has it they are trapped in a spiritual dead zone and unable to progress or get anywhere else but our material world. So perhaps they are just curious but probably not. Don't go to that place.
