^^^ JKH, yes, I know that the BFRO says at one place on their website that they believe it to be an authentic 9-1-1- tape, I'm just surprised that they don't list it as an encounter on their encounter map. Could be nothing at all. One other thing that I forgot to mention. I've spent roughly half of the last 40 years listening to people testifying and listening and looking for "tells" that they were lying so that I could find a thread to start pulling on to unravel those lies. I am pretty good at it and there are certain things that consistently tip off a memorized, made-up story.* Additionally, it's pretty hard for most laymen/laywomen to pretend to be emotionally triggered or afraid or reliving a past fear - the inflections are in the wrong place, they "over-act," they miss places where there should be an emotional response, etc., etc. It's possible that the "victim" calling 9-1-1- is a trained actor, but he sounds to me pretty much like I'd expect of an actual frightened, shocked, or surprised witness to an unexpected event. *True story, there I was, trying to tamp down a problem in a foreign country, listening through an interpreter to a cock-and-bull story about American troops being really, really mean to a person (they were actually stationed in the area to prevent ethnic cleansing against this guy and a few remaining other members of that ethnic minority). The guy had led us to a storage area above his garage or shed and listed everything that the American troops had broken, ripped, shattered, etc., and his last line was, "... and then they broke the holy icons." Now, this garage or shed looked like every garage, shed, barn, attic, outbuilding, etc., that I had ever seen in rural Pennsylvania and it was full of a lot of old stuff with dust two inches thick on everything. And it didn't help that the interpreter's tone in translating the last line sound just like a beer commercial where a guy was telling a sob story to get his buddy's bud light. I responded with a one word epithet that made it pretty clear to everyone that spoke English that I didn't believe the story. The interpreter was so stunned that he just stood there, jaw hitting the floor and I asked, "Do you need to interpret that for him?" He immediately answered, "Oh no, he knows exactly how you feel about this." Not telling this story to discuss politics, nation-building, etc., but just to point out some things that make it easier to pick out false stories - over-emoting, visual facts that don't add up to the story, and repeating the story like a kid rehearsing a poem and trying not to miss any lines. I don't hear any of that in either of the 9-1-1- calls.

I think Myrsell is/was refreshing too. Saw him present also. Think he runs an aquarium out near Ocean Shores. BF and Beyond went the premium pay route so not so enamored of them anymore, you gotta make a living I understand but the rehash gets old when you are a paying customer. Wish them luck, I still tune in on occasion. Bobo is Bobo, in small doses preferably, lol. Even though I had a highly irregular sighting I still cringe over many paranormal issues in the field even acknowledging the Skinwalker Ranch stuff is hard for me but I am faced with the evidence and where it leads. Pruitt is a good guy and was part of a team assisting me with a sighting locale prior to my sighting (I believe he trained as a paramedic too).

Dear BFF Members, The Forum Management Team proposed and the Steering Committee approved releasing the raw SSR Dataset to the community in order to facilitate independent research. The SSR database will always be available if you need to use its capabilities, but we have received requests for the raw dataset many times in the past, so here it is. There will be regular releases posted in this thread as more data is classified. Attribution to "The Bigfoot Forums" is required for any published analysis. We hope it helps somebody advance the search.
