Science relies on accurate data so that any scientist can reproduce what you have claimed.
I see the BFRO data base as nothing more than a story telling tally sheet. Basically it says…. Look at all our reports! Bigfoot must be real!
When I’ve investigated some BFRO reports? The location description doesn’t add up. I can’t find the site of the encounter.
I’ve had a insider tell me this is because they don’t want people going to the site and screwing up their research. Well…. Scientifically you might as well as well point a shotgun at your foot and pull the trigger.
For example, I make a report that a flying saucer lands in my backyard. I report it to a investigating body. And they take the report but change the location by one mile. So follow on investigators go to the reported location and find….NOTHING.
a) As the investigator finds ZERO collaborating evidence? He or she assumes….
1) The report was fabricated by the witness.
2) The witness did not see what they thought they saw.
3) The body that the witness made the report to does shoddy work.
4) The body that the witness made the report to are liars.
b) If the investigator is a skeptic? Then a bogus report is just more ammunition for their gun. And a very good way to get the whole mystery dismissed by the public and decry witnesses as crack pots. And if the flying saucer really did land in someone’s back yard? What a shame this report gets tossed out….
It MUST end!
Why has the PGF withstood the test of time? Todd Standing has much more clear and concise footage of Bigfoot than the PGF….
Here is why. We KNOW where the film site was. And it was gone over with a fine tooth comb. We know the length of logs, the width of trees, the depth of footprints. We can watch Patty make the foot prints. This isn’t a short film in which the owner will not divulge the location of the film! It has WITHSTOOD the scrutiny…. Full stop.
The BFRO should be taking accurate reports. And they should share that accurate report with pro investigators and skeptics alike. Because the TRUTH will stand on its own merits. Only a LIE needs protection from a tape measure or a magnifying glass.
