Me, drunk in a bar in the Philippines, holding a beer and a glass of a favorite local drink called a Mojo. On my first deployment in `91. What's really puzzling is why I am apparently wearing a wedding ring. I didn't get married until I was two years out of the Navy in `94. What happens in Olongapo City, stays in Olongapo City.

True. He might very well be hoaxing although I personally don't believe that he is... Hoaxers are generally not the sort of people to be content with the little things. Hoaxers want attention, and while this might seem compelling to a relatively small group of people who are interested in actual research, you are not going to see a it making waves like other fantastical claims that have turned out to be false. A video of possible knocks and calls won't get 1 million views on youtube. And that's what hoaxers want.... attention. Those sort of people always seem to be compelled to constantly up the ante. A lot of this field is looking for those subtle clues that hint that SOMETHING is out there. Those huge, earth shattering events that capture people's imaginations are very few and far between. If they were commonplace, we would have had definitive proof a long time ago. If he ends up talking about the Bigfoot Star Council in a few months and selling spots for 4 grand apiece to go into his exclusive research area and commune with Sasquatch...maybe then we will know that he is hoaxing. That's just my take on it. That's the frustrating part about being involved in this field. Pretty much any evidence that we find or is presented to us (short of a living specimen or a body) has the possibility of being a hoax.

Ive got 1 report in roane, in Amma. Looks like several WV sighting reports are missing off that map. Is this the BFRO map or some independent map? If its indendant theres a few i can help add to it that were sent in to our team over the last few years. Just let me know

Pretty amazing that it only took a year and a half for that pine on the left of the ingress to lose its needles. Prolly isn't going to make it. Good documentation, K.

All valid points.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'd never seen that ... that I remember ... but it is essentially what I do. I look at 0 - 1500 Hz. Usually clearly defined things are not what we're looking for. Look for gray foggy looking areas on the spectrogram. Things that make a single clear line on the graph usually can only make such a clear line ... in other words, they are only capable of making sound in a few narrow frequency ranges. We're looking for something with vocal flexibility. Those show up as less distinct / more fuzzly frequency ranges, thus more of a dull blob on the graph. Insects usually produce 3 or more horizontal bands ... harmonics, I suppose. Airplanes do the same but usually those are rising pitches so there will be maybe 5 or more bands roughly in parallel but increasing in frequency. The heavy band at the bottom is generally wind noise. With different mics and recorders with appropriate sensitivity that's likely where infrasound would fall, but most of our readily available mics and recorders don't pick up "real" sounds under 80-100 Hz. If you're getting too much of that rumble from wind noise, screening the mic can help. One of my friends who does more audio than I do uses Sonic Visualizer .. I've downloaded / installed it but haven't played with it yet. MIB

Hello I currently live in New Mexico and a law enforcement official and have been fascinated by the topic of Bigfoot for years and have dove head first into the subject. i get reports quite frequently from all over the state and have had a couple of encounters myself. i hope to get some more information on the topic by joining this forum. thanks.

Pretty indeed!
