Anyone following this thread will probably enjoy "Trollhunter." Government sponsored hunters are sent out to clandestinely cull problem trolls. Real creatures (in this adventure/horror/comedy), not just the mythical monsters. The trollhunters use the ruse of "bear hunting" as cover story for their actual activities. I really enjoy this lively romp! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1740707/

That's my conclusion. The location of the body screams motor vehicle collision..........UNLESS.........the authorities had been chasing it around with vehicles and a helicopter, which herded it near shooters in ground vehicles. This would have required at least an hour or more of very active radio traffic (not to mention obvious interesting aerial helicopter traffic with a light shining about) which easily could have been picked up in Bangor by lots of people, official and not. I've seen military police conduct repeated operations like this on Fort Richardson with a pair of troublesome grizzly bears over the period of a week. Everybody on post (and plenty off post) knew it was going in, because it was repeated episodes of the Keystone Kops. Those bears led those MPs and helicopters on chase scenes that make todays high speed freeway chases look boring. Had out-of-town authorities been chasing a sasquatch in the Northport area, the entire town would have known or heard about it. There would likely be an entry of some sort in one of the local newspapers.

I've driven this particular stretch of road a hundred times (my son went to school in Belfast and we lived elsewhere). It's very densely wooded in places. There are roads that branch off, and head further into the country. This is a "busy" road, yes, but Maine is very rural, even just outside towns. It's like the countryside is 2 houses deep, and then anything else is frontage on small roads - there's no great population centers, except for Augusta, Bangor and Portland - everything else is small towns scattered between little bitty towns of a few houses & gas station types. There's a lot of wilderness, and it's NOT far away from where people live. It's one of the lovely things about Maine. I'd guess they were already hunting these bigfoots and ready to clean up after themselves. Then again, Maine is weird. Many, many politicians and Supreme Court Justices and Big Names have second homes here. There are Secret Service type folks around, and black helicopters ferrying Important People here and there. I'd not be one bit surprised to find that they can hide an operation like that.

I would like to go a little deeper into this report and what it may mean. First of all, it was a first hand account told to Michelle Souliere who was brilliant enough to see the ramifications of the account, the veracity of which depends on a few things: 1) that the Sasquatch is a real creature, 2) that the creature lives and roams in Maine, 3) that the witness told her the truth of what he witnessed, 4) if the account IS true, that there apparently ARE people or organizations (other than Bigfoot ones) who know about it, and 5) those people or organizations don't want the public to be aware of the first four...... And remember, this was 24 years ago in November of 1997, long before the surveillance technology we have now even existed. 24 years, and we still don't have physical proof. ALL attempts at getting any physical proof verified, at least publicly or officially, or even privately as far as we know, have failed. Studies or conclusions either lacking enough data, altered, or debunked by a powerful scientific/governmental status quo or controlled media slant. Mean while, the biggest discovery of the last century and a half wallows in the shadows. That small report in a small book written by a Maine author, after ten years or more of research, working through trust, isn't quite so small any more. And that little incident that happened in tiny Northport, Maine 24 years ago is definitely not small. In fact, it leaves plenty of room to say to those that claim they would shoot one only in self defense, that I don't think you are thinking that kind of a confrontation through. Because you are not government, and you can't possibly know what government knows, or what government will do, or has done, to keep things quiet. This isn't about fear, it's about having a heightened awareness for what may actually be the reality out there. Even so, I think everyone already knows how to beat the system......

Hi guys! You might also be interested in knowing that I was contacted by a fellow historic BF investigator in Ohio, Doug Waller, who had a strikingly similar account he collected from another local there -- attaching pic he sent of his book (one of 3 he's written, I think), and illustrations from the case. The Ohio case involved another accident scene which quickly disappeared, only the eyewitness missed seeing the cleanup crew (and there was a much bigger mess). You can find Doug on Facebook if you'd like to talk to him about the case, he's a pleasant fellow, and has been collecting these stories for some years now out there. One thing he asked when I talked to him was how far away and who is the nearest Federal authority in that area, because it would be unlikely that a state or municipal organization would have done the cleanup. The closest I could come up with was a few Federal authorities (FBI etc) located about an hour away in Augusta. Food for thought.

First of all, the witness and the bus driver said they saw a foot with toes and an instep. Also, that whatever it was, was face down with a hairy leg. But the thing that got me the most was the time frame for the whole incident. The bus driver drove north on Rt. 1 and nothing was along that stretch of road. A half hour later, driving south on Rt. 1, there were now unmarked cars and industrial lights set up. Then 25 minutes later, driving north again, she saw nothing there and the road had been washed down, First scenario: Hit and run. A driver thought they hit a person, panicked, and drove away and another driver phoned in the incident. That means police vehicles, an ambulance, fire engines etc.would have been on the scene. And they probably would have either closed the road, blocked it down to one lane, or at least still have been there when the bus driver turned around to go back north that half hour later. But she said there was nothing there. Second scenario: Some hit what they thought was a person, stayed on site and waited for everything to show up. But again, everything was gone within a half hour. Third scenario: Someone called in that they had hit a Bigfoot. Local police would show up, but the report (as policy! state, federal or otherwise) went up the chain and when the unmarked vehicles finally showed up (from where?) they told the driver and the local police to leave. But that STILL leaves too much time for all that to occur. That bus driver drove north through that location not a half hour before and saw nothing. Half hour later the unmarked vehicles were there with their lights all set up. So those unmarked cars had to have been close by- within minutes! Fourth scenario, which has to be what really happened with the short time frames involved: Those unmarked cars HAD to have already be in the vicinity. Because no one else could have possibly shown up and left that fast. And the reason? They may have already been monitoring the area, because people may have been calling in and reporting seeing the creature. Maybe even more than one. People in those vehicles may have been watching for it (night vision, thermal, etc,), spotted it, chased it to Rt.1, and either shot or tranquilized it. They had the lights with them, set up on the side of the road where the creature was laying in the ditch, Set up their lights, lit up the field (because there was more than one?), bus slows down sees what is lying there and drives on, The unmarked vehicles load the creature up and drive away, leaving only a couple of people to powerwash the road and then they, too, leave. Bus driver turns around, heads north again and everything is gone except for the evidence of powerwashing. Why the secrecy? And does such an effort at secrecy indicate the power that it would take to keep the creature hidden from the public at large? And what might that mean for an individual or group working on proof of existence? This is of course based on whether or not the Northport story is true. If it is, then the way it went down, how fast and efficiently, might more than a little worrisome? Michelle Souliere had asked that if anyone else had any info about this event. My own research has uncovered nothing in the official sense, nor in the media. Thoughts?

Especially when we all start posting twice!

Bigtex --- you're doing amazing work. It's a pleasure to watch all of it.
