  2. I thought I would share a few photos from some of my forays since my relocation, I have done a good deal of exploring the more wild regions of Eastern WA , Northern ID and even Western MT. Since moving I have spent a great deal of time exploring eastern WA, Northern ID and sections of Western Montana, these areas are remote, thick and dangerous. The forest is very diverse and is composed of a wide variety of coniferous trees that range in age, I was very surprised at the density of trees I find over a century old in the valleys, lungwort lichen is very common as well as old mans beard. The lower canopy is thick with blueberry, thimble berry, raspberry, strawberry and even salmon berry along the creeks. The valleys and waterways are coated in moss, fungi and ground lichens as the soil does in fact demonstrate moisture retention. This habitat is just beyond great, prints of animals register very well as the moss is not as dense or springy so tracking is just perfect here, many of the creeks actually have soil or sandbars also. This area has all of the primary species we know of in WA state but also all of the creatures we encounter in the Canadian boreal forest, this area is regarded a unique hybrid environment of temperate rain-forest and northern boreal forest. The species list for large mammals includes cougar, bobcat, lynx, grey wolves, coyote, red fox, forest caribou, black tailed deer, white tailed deer, moose, elk, mountain goat, rocky mountain sheep, black bear, grizzly bear and Sasquatch.

  3. He was from Tampa FL but I can find no listing of obituary as yet. May he RIP. He was a cab driver and apparently enjoyed the work.

  5. Yes, with a maximum speed of approximately 80 mph......WITH the wind. I also estimated at the time that there were no more than six units in the US with not all six flying at once. In fact, in my two year study, I never saw more than three concurrent reports in any given time frame. So I used two criteria: 1) the reported crafts needed to be 1,000 mile from each other and 2) had to have been in the air within a half-hour of each other. In other words, if a report came in and, a half-hour later, another report came in then under my criteria they couldn't be the same craft unless they flew like the French Concorde SST which had a speed of 2,000 mph. That's how fast one craft would have to fly in order to be 1,000 miles away in a half-hour. In two years there were only a handful of instances where more that two or three craft were spotted in a different locale at about the same time. All other times showed only one craft flying at a time with sometimes hours or even days between sightings. It was an interesting study and observation which took me some time to figure out how I was going to make such determinations. In those days, sighting times were recorded in whatever local time zone they occurred in. So there was no way to easily determine if reports occurred at relatively the same time or not. I found my coincidence reports by converting reports from the four different main US time zones to the Universal Tome Code (UTC) once I did that then any closely concurrent flight times presented themselves. Before doing that it was impossible to tell. Back then, I wrote to MUFON about the time signature/pattern issue and I'm not sure but I think they may have switch to include both local times along with UTC time. Also going through so many reports I saw fabrications. In one instance a witness in the East claimed to step out of their vehicle in some driveway and reporting seeing FIVE large Triangles overhead. I noted the date and time of the report..........that locale was steeped in quarter/mile visibility fog at the supposed time of the sighting (daytime) so there was no way anyone could've seen anything. There are more lies in UFO reports than most could ever imagine.

  6. You know going supersonic is sort of a yawn thing now in airplanes designed to go that fast. The airspeed sort of hangs up for a couple of seconds and then you are through. The straight wing airplane (Bell X-1) Yeager flew was much more exciting, bucking around and not liking being that fast. The exciting thing in the T-38 was there was a high incidence of supersonic fire lights. You got a fire light and did not know if it was real or not. So you slowed, shut down the engine, and flew back home on one engine. The supersonic airflow sort of messed with the temperature sensors in the engine bay and made some read hotter than normal. That must have happened to me 5 or 6 times. You gave a new student a burner climb, supersonic flight, and then some aerobatics on his first flight in the airplane. We called it the Dollar Ride.

  7. Reptilians are old news, they are in charge of governments all over the world; and have been for centuries.... https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/10/how-spot-reptilians-runing-us-government/354496/ Seriously, a freaky big bipedal reptile is probably even scarier than an enraged Bigfoot....

  8. You can't call it a spade until you have it your hand and show it when called. These are mysterious disappearances. Nobody knows what happened. Some of the mysteries demonstrate baffling evidence, and some offer no evidence at all. As an author telling of such mysteries, he's wise not speculate on cause. He's presenting a story, and people are buying it. The audience will ascribe it to sasquatches, killer bears, little green men, werewolves, etc. I ascribe 99% of them to drownings, falls, and exposure. The remains are simply reclaimed by the environment. Snow makes survival tougher, but it tends to help trackers find remains. One evening I lost my trail back to my vehicle. It was late October; no snow yet, but nighttime temps got down to 20.......or colder. All I had was a dog, my rifle, and the clothes on my back. It got dark. I was only a mile or less from pavement, and the direction was obvious, but in the dark I started falling over deadfall hidden in the tall grass. Damned near broke my leg once. I was just getting to the realization that I was going to be sitting there all night feeding a fire when I broke out on a trail. It led me to my rig. It made me remember that the wilderness is a short walk from your vehicle, and the wilderness can and will kill you without mercy or regret.........quickly.

  9. il tell you this much, it slowly revleaved itself to the couple recording (mayhapz on an old camcorder, the video looked old) and it looked like it was bipedal and reptilian, like something similar to a mantis I’ve seen a lot of the junk on youtube this one was... disturbing

  10. How long have you "worked" that area? Long enough to establish multi-year patterns? I ask because some places seem to have year around activity which may ebb and flow, but is always present. Other places seem to be very seasonal. I would definitely go back to your area in a couple months as planned but I would also go back at a time of year when there was past activity next year and the year after because some areas with sporadic activity have it in a particular season but it doesn't occur every year. It seems kind of like how my family would host my cousins one Christmas, visit my dad's parents the next Christmas, my mom's parents the following Christmas, then maybe repeat, but every few cycles, break even further to spend Christmas with dad's cousin. In other words, if there was going to be a "thing" at our house, it would be at Christmas, but you couldn't be sure it would be every Christmas. Trying to pattern us would have been ... challenging. What I'm suggesting is you figure out the characteristics of the time when you had activity there in the past, then try again next time those conditions occur, and don't give up if it doesn't pay off the first or second attempt.
