Absolutely. So called "mainstream" science and DOTGOV are never going to recognize or protect them until a PUBLICIZED actual body that is open to be studied by multiple primatologists, anatomists, forensic anthropologists, taxonomists, etc without interference from ANY government agency. Had I not seen one, I would be convinced by the extant evidence, that a living bipedal relict hominin was present in North America. 1. The P-G Film / Freeman Film 2. The footprint evidence 3. Credible eyewitness reports 4. Meldrum, Krantz, Steenburg, Dahinden, Bindernagel collectively and ALL their work 5. The collective Native American and First Nations cultural agreement that they have been a fact throughout their cultural memory Those are just the top five...but what I KNOW, and what I SAW, and what has convinced ME means absolutely diddly squat to 99.9999999999999999% of other people and what I believe, think, or have become convinced of shouldn't mean squat, and honestly I don't care because I am not personally trying to convince anyone else. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like it to be proven to the mainstream in order for them to be officially and protected as a REALLY FREAKIN COOL North American Megafauna. I don't care if they are proven to be a great ape, a hominin, an adapted gorilla, or whatever. But to get there...we need honest, open, collegial, and courteous dialog. If you get to know me, you will learn I am absolutely the MOST non politically correct human being on the planet...but...I am "diplomatic" when it is appropriate. I always ask "Why?" or "What led you to that conclusion?" so I can gain insight to whether someone thinks, feels, believes, or is convinced about X Y Z. It's the cop turned lawyer in me. too many people conflate what they THINK with what they actually FEEL when they say "Well, I think...." they actually mean "Well, I feel..." so we need precision in our language and discussions amongst ourselves and a lack of Renee Dahinden emotion when evaluating evidence. Like I have said before. I am here to learn and discuss. Thanks for having me.

Todd Standing's latest photgraphic evidence.

And I don’t disagree. But what I am saying is that they had to be extra terrestrial before they became extra dimensional. We humans are not extra dimensional because we don’t have the technology to do so. But in 1000 years? 5000 years? We could develop the energy and technology to do so. Thats why I think SETI is folly. They aim transceivers at stars and listen for radio signals. Sufficiently advanced aliens are probably no longer living on their home world. And they are probably not using archaic radio signals for communication. They could be so advanced? That they could have beaten their own radio signals to this planet physically. Just like someday our future warp drive space craft will probably fly by the Voyager mission. Still trudging along at some paltry trajectory. Heck maybe future archeologists will capture it and study it like the pyramids? I think the discovery of another species of Homo living under our noses would be profound, disruptive and even terrifying for some. Yes.

I agree with you that there is a massive coverup. My point of contention is whether these crafts are extraterrestrial or extradimensional. Extraterrestrial vs extradimensional — short, useful definitions Extraterrestrial = something that exists elsewhere in our universe’s space–time (another planet, star system, galaxy). It’s still subject to the same physical laws (speed of light, conservation of energy, etc.). Extradimensional = something that exists in a different dimension or “brane” (extra spatial dimensions, a different manifold, or some other sector not directly embedded in our 4D spacetime). This is a speculative idea in some theories (string theory branes, higher-dimensions, etc.). Extradimensional entities or pathways are often invoked in fiction because they could — in principle — allow shortcuts that bypass the normal space-time distance constraints. But they are highly speculative and there’s no empirical evidence for accessible extradimensional shortcuts. Key conceptual difference: extraterrestrial = far away but in the same spacetime; extradimensional = potentially outside/orthogonal to our spacetime Bottom line (practical summary) Intergalactic distances are enormous — millions of light years. Even at 0.99c the trip to Andromeda is ~2.6 million years. Energy scales are stupendous — accelerating modest masses to relativistic speeds requires energy comparable to planetary or stellar outputs. Collisions with the interstellar medium at relativistic speeds produce destructive energies per square meter (megaton scale impacts). Shielding against that is hugely mass-expensive. Propulsion and fuel constraints: chemical rockets are hopeless; even nuclear or antimatter options face energy, engineering, and mass-storage problems many orders beyond current capability. Extradimensional/via-new-physics shortcuts remain the only fictional / speculative ways to avoid these constraints — but they rest on physics we don’t have evidence for and typically require exotic, currently unrealizable energy conditions. I used to be in the extraterrestrial camp. I now lean more towards an extradimensional explanation for the UAP/UFO and biological entities we know to exist.

Les Stroud has posted on his Kickstarter page for supporters of his new Bigfoot show, the following. "Hearts have been broken throughout the Sasquatch community with the loss of our dear friend Jeff Meldrum. I have the unfortunate, honour of having conducted the last ever interview with him and it was by chance, a compelling long form discussion on all things Sasquatch and so I will remain honoured to include it in our film. He went places he rarely goes with the direction of the chat. You will also get it from me in its full version as a separate interview. Jeff was a legend and a gentleman and a very generous and giving individual. He was a titan in the research world of relic hominids." So there's hope to see the man one more time in this pending feature. Les is fortunate for that opportunity and sounds like he's grateful and wants to do it justice.

Sure. It used to be if you saw a bigfoot sticker on a car, you could pretty well bet it was either another researcher or someone with deep interest, maybe personal experience. Today bigfoot is the equivalent of a pink flamingo on someone's lawn. There is no stopping cultural absurdity. Stuff is not in your control or mine. All we can do is manage ourselves.
