I have never seen the work of Chris Noel (that he posts on his YouTube channel titled "Impossible Visits") until last week. The title of his 2-year old documentary video "How to See a Sasquatch" piqued my curiosity, so I watched the 1 hour 38 min video (see link below). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlpssL94Gso&t=627s Unfortunately, what the video showed was how folks who have BF in their brain can be self-deceived by noises and animals that they can't identify and how random tree debris can become BF tree structures in their mind. IMHO, none of the evidence presented in this video was indicative of BF presence. Nonetheless, Chris gives the impression that these creatures live very close to his neighborhood and every odd noise or odd tree structure that he runs into is made by the sasquatches. I think this video is a good example of the dangers of wishful thinking when going out in the field looking for evidence. Even if folks are knowers, they need to slow down when it comes to alleged evidence. They should subject the evidence to some type of peer review before publishing/sharing it, and realize that their observations are truly biased by their beliefs. This documentary climaxes in what is supposed to be a sasquatch climbing a tree. However, other video reviewers have examined the creature and have determined that it was a porcupine. Despite the alternative hypothesis of a porcupine (which is very convincing and in my mind conclusive), Chris did not back down and revised his original claim, but instead created another video to support his claim. Below is link to Chris Noel's 2nd video, insisting that the creature is not a porcupine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB9a5H9sFP0 This looks really sad, and should be a warning for all those researchers out there publishing YouTube videos to slow down and get expert wildlife reviews before jumping to conclusions. Brent Dill, who runs "The Tall Ones" YouTube channel with a critical thinking hat on, reviewed this claim 2 years ago and posted 2 good critical videos. See links below. I think he makes a compelling and clear case that that video footage was of a porcupine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogj-W76-Xo4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyhKTBZCFK0 In conclusion, wishful thinking and subjective biases are dangers that all long time researchers (who believe in the reality of sasquatch) have to deal with and be attentive to.

I hear Bigfoot calls that are obviously coyotes all the time, recorded by researchers. I have viewed hundreds of pictures of leaf faces on this forum. I I have seen pictures of what I call Forest divots attempting to be cast….. I approach this from a hunters standpoint. I don’t ascribe Coyote calls to Elk, because I am not after a recording. I don’t take pictures of bushes that look like Elk, because I am not after bushes. And I don’t make a fuss over ancient forest divots filled in with pine needles. I need FRESH sign! Because I need to make physical contact with what I am hunting! Elk hunting isn’t about showing off your Bull Elk hoof cast at the next Elk conference. Or lots of pictures of bushes that look like Elk. No. It’s about a head on the wall and meat in the freezer. And I have been there! I’ve been that hunter that has chosen an area where Elk were 6 months ago, but they ain’t there now. Very frustrating. Looking at old sign every where. Maybe as researchers advance in skill? They will start to better discern the noises and sign in the forest? Maybe there will be an internal drive to separate the wheat from the chaff? Let’s face it. Most people have nothing in common with the woods anymore. But I applaud a subject like Bigfoot challenging people to go out and explore and learn. But we as a community need to be patient with them. As far as pro Bigfooters seeing a Bigfoot under every bush? I think it’s all about ratings. Which is why I worry about manufacturing evidence with these shows. Unlike Elk there is always a nagging suspicions with Bigfoot…..could this be a hoax?

You caught me........ My name is Mork, and I'm actually from Ork. I have a couple of sasquatch pets in my backyard. I'm training them to become American political leaders.

Well said, norseman.

This answer is way below your usual "spot on" reply. Why did you only pick African Americans, and Native Americans as your example for endangered species? Your statement implies the two examples are not quite human. What about Caucasians, Eskimo, Aborigine, Asians, and East Indians. I served in the Marine Corps as a Combat Engineer with all races and I'm not racist. When the Vietnam war was in full swing all of us were trained to depend on each other regardless of race. We were at Camp Lejune ready to ship out when the president shut down the war. Anyway, Sasquatch is not human until DNA shows how far apart Homo Sapiens and Sasquatch really are. This will avoid all the problems when Sasquatch is known to be a threatened species or endangered. Are we still bigfoot buddies from Oregon? You nailed it and really fine example.

Bigfoot has not been officially classified as a Homo sapien, and I don't believe they are humans. Bigfoots characteristics and probably DNA is not close enough to a human to be considered Homo sapien is my prediction. Homo blackei from another category does not make bigfoot human Gorillas have many features like humans. The scientific name for the eastern gorilla is Gorilla beringei, and the western gorilla's is Gorilla gorilla. The name “gorilla” comes from an account by Carthaginian navigator Hanno of his expedition down the western coast of Africa nearly 2,500 years ago. Common Name: Chimpanzees. Scientific Name: Pan troglodytes. Type: Mammals. Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape from roughly 2 million to 350,000 years ago during the Early to Middle Pleistocene of southern China, represented by one species, Gigantopithecus blacki. Potential identifications have also been made in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Wikipedia

I've heard of this, I don't know about this particular object being an alien probe but the concept definitely makes sense. If you're an advanced civilization and want to keep tabs on a developing world just park satellites where they'll never discover them based upon their current level of development and monitor all you want unimpeded. At our current level they could easily monitor all communications on earth and even hack into our internet and directly interact with us on websites like this, does anybody have a confession to make?

Degraded Human DNA. Neither Disotell nor Meldrum gave anything more specific than that. Maybe you can find out? But only if you care about it one way or another.
