But they are detected...........regularly. And they leave plenty of sign. It's just that the reported sightings and signs are ignored by the authorities responsible to investigate such phenomenon. For example, today, Congress is hearing testimony from people responsible to investigate.......and report..........unidentified aerial intrusions in our airspace. This after previous investigations and official reports stating that such reports were perfectly explainable, yet here we are (half a century later) with their own personnel now saying otherwise and them forced to account.

Hey all. These photos were sent to me by a friend, forwarded by someone he knows in St. Clair County, Alabama. Here's what she wrote about it: Here’s the footprint pics. The footprint doesn’t appear to have an arch. It is WIDE with a very narrow heel. I don’t spend time looking a footprints but that doesn’t look right to me. The 2nd pic appears to have the right foot but it is barely visible. The 3rd pic is my foot in comparison. I have a big foot for a girl… 8.5/9. What freaks me out more is that there are no other prints leading up to or away from it. This was about 5ft from my hvac unit on the driveway side of my home. I live on the end of a culdesac with woods on the driveway side and back of my property. There is lots of deer and such around. 😊 I do sort of believe in Big Foot or rather I do believe the folks that say that have seen Big Foot have seen something. To me, the wedge shape and what appears to be a claw drag says "black bear" , and bears are present, but uncommon. Still, the length of the track gives me pause. What do y'all think? .

@WanderingLorax this is a great opportunity. I agree with Gigantor's suggestions, starting with their uninterrupted explanation of their experience makes a lot of sense. I also suggest being prepared to explain how you plan to use the information they will be sharing with you out of respect for their willingness to speak with you. I've done a lot of interviewing for work and as crazy as it may sound, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to speak with someone up front can go along way towards maintaining and/or building trust. Finally, if you plan to record the interview, make sure to alert the interviewee out of respect for their experiences. In some states it is illegal to record someone without their permission although many state laws indicate that only one party has to approve the recording (and that one party can be the one recording....this could go into the why-is-that-dumb-law-needed file).

A good friend of mine is a tribal member on the Colville Indian Reservation. I take him and a few other members excavators and dozers throughout the year. I am fairly well known there. I have guys stop to talk to me when they see me there, and I get a lot of waves (not all that uncommon in most rural areas of eastern Washington). I love going there actually. The Rez is a beautiful place. We will sit down and talk whenever we get the chance. When I told my friend that my uncle quit hunting due to the complications with the cancer he developed from handling Agent Orange in Vietnam, he and his family put together a big pack of game meat for him. I was astonished. (I still well up thinking about their generosity.) We talk about gold, logging, hunting, and the Stick Indian. My friend knows people on the Rez who have saw a lot of stuff. His neighbor has a video that I believe the neighbor and his brother took last year. It hasn’t gotten out yet. I saw a clip of it. My friend took a video of this gentleman’s video with his phone. The video is hard to see, but you can see a creature walking on two legs. Tribal tradition says that it’s bad luck to see a Bigfoot. These two brothers have not been back to the area since. They are very traditional, so I’m told. I have been waiting for the right time to ask about talking to witnesses there. That time was today. My friend is asking his neighbor if they will talk to me about what they saw. I’m hoping the door will now open for me. I also met a lady on the Rez who drives pilot car for the oversize loads there. I only talked to her on the cb when she took me in and helped me find an excavator I was looking for. My friend told me later to ask her about Bigfoot, she knows a lot. I am also working on getting her number. I have never interviewed someone before. What questions do you think I should ask? Is there a thread here that I am missing? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I will only post videos with permission out of respect for the individuals who took them.

You obviously want to solicit their unvarished rendition of the events that occured from beginning to end. At this stage, they should be doing 95% of the talking and you 5%. As they develop their story line(s), take notes. Certain things may jump out at you. Look for inconsistencies. Once they've told their story, you should be now able ask questions in an indirect and non-threatening manner and to begin scratching beneath the surface. "That was interesting how you saw something large, dark, and hairy. Can you kindly tell me more about that?" Never challenge them as they will fold their arms and protect their storyline at all costs. Gently tease out questions when you pursue questions to their responses. Finally, never form a conclusion while they're telling their story but if you do, don't show your hand. It's a cat-and-mouse poker game and you're not there to express your opinions. You're there to collect as much information as possible and that will only happen when you create an environment where they feel safe enough to open up and share things with you. Good luck!

Oh, and in case you thought some information might be forthcoming, you were, of course, quite incorrect. They pretty much danced the same step as before, but admitted that some events defied explanation. They then assured the political class that there was no indication that these wild maneuvers were extraterrestrial, then kicked the journalists out for the classified hearing. Same old, same old. The bottom line is that they will never admit some things, even as it's running over them. National Security, you know............ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61474201

Oh, norse, love the leather ammo holder. Gorgeous. Show the whole thing. Beautiful photos, everyone. I'm out of thumbs ups. I'd actually wear that shirt, NorthWind. You know I love my Trek.

Are you saying I shouldn't store my suspected BF feces samples with my Eggo Blueberry Waffles? Ruh-Roh

You know, the more I think on things, the more I wonder if this conclusion is more correct in some way The sasquatch species seems to fit right in to this planet. and us? Maybe not so much. Drop us naked in the woods and we'd be dead within a week, probably less. I think they are a hominid species that split from our branch of the family tree a long time ago. We share some similarities, and vast differences. They are a mirror version of us. We are day - they are night. We are tool users - they have no such need. We are destroyers - they are maintainers. We manipulate the world to suit our needs - they manipulate themselves to live in the world. We share commonalities, but I suspect our differences outnumber them. I think they are perfectly suited to the wild, as much as we are suited to community.
