What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?

Perhaps not, but it's still fun, especially since you so deserve it.

Hopefully nothing, but potentially a lot of additional regulation on public lands.

It must have been really fun realizing that my evidence proving that what I said was a fact, especially when my evidence was a quote of you admitting that it's all in your head.

So, just why are you here?

This is for those who think the Government knows about Bigfoot and is keeping it quiet I have a Question:

 

Scenario:    A person is hunting a carrying a cell phone.   They shoot Bigfoot and kill it.  (Choose any reason you wish.  Mistaken Identify, an act of self-defense or whatever).   

 

1) They take pics of it and video with the cell phone. 

2) They post the selfies on Facebook and various social media. 

3) They call the cops and others

4) The cops show up.   

 

At this point (a) everyone on social media is sharing the pics and vids  (b) those who show up are regular cops and game warden types who just minutes before were worrying about someone having an updated fishing license or littering.   At no time do these 'cops' know they are somehow supposed to know they are supposed to help the government keep Bigfoot quiet.

 

 

5)  While these local cops sort things out, the videos and pics on social media continue like wildfire.  

6)  These guys fill out a report and call DNR type people as well as a coroner.  Who knows, maybe even the state university to see if there is some primates expect who can come down.

 

My Question:   What actions could the "Government" take to put the horse back in the barn in this example?

 

 

I am suggesting any effort- even if such a government wanted to silence the story- is too late.  There really isn't anything in my story problem that is unrealistic.  In fact, I think I am even making any steps the government would need to do to silence the story to be much easier than it actually would be.  

 

Please tell me how the Government keeps things quiet in this scenario.

Call it a hoax! Collect the body = no evidence.

 

How many of these have we already lived through? Biscardi comes to mind. Was it a hoax? Probably. The Minnesota Ice man?

 

Doesn't the fact that the Smithsonian doesn't have to follow Federal law bother you???

 

If you’re not keeping secrets? Then be transparent!

This doesn't even come close to addressing the Q's and issues put out in the sample Q.  I apricate an attempt to answer.

 

If willing, could you elaborate?

You make too many assumptions in your hypothetical situation to line item it. Instead? Let’s look at a similar case?

 

What happened here? It’s pretty much the scenario you described? Can you view the object in a museum? Or does the “government” deny it ever happened? If they can cover up a crashed UFO? They can cover up a Bigfoot incident!

At this point, I'd say that the Bigfoot is out of the Bag.

 

But it hasn't happened that way yet, and since Facebook is so relatively new, that should be no surprise. The closest we've come so far is Justin Smeja. So hang on, your dream scenario might come true soon.............

It’s hard to tell how big of a coverup there is. According to DeLonge, there’s DNA evidence, but the government doesn’t understand the phenomenon.
 

It’s possible that the phenomenon is more mysterious and complex than we give it credit for.

It’s a pretty safe assumption social media of convincing pics and video of a dead Bigfoot would too much for the government to stop.  I’ll gladly assume that.   I think I’m being fair.   

 

 

I wish UFOs wouldn’t come up when we talk bigfoot.  (Incidentally I don’t believe at all Area 51 Roswell crash and esp don’t believe Bob Lazars BS stories.).     
 

That government dropped the ball silencing Patterson and Gimlin and their showing of the PGF.  I’ll just wait for the post suggesting Patterson was really poisoned.  
 

let’s keep it simple.  How could a “silencing government” act fast enough to stop an incident as my hypothetical scenario described?   What part specifically was so unlikely?

ALL OF IT.

 

How did the military at Kecksburg Pa haul off a flaming object that fell out of the sky that four states saw. How many radio reports? How many newspaper reports? They had to haul the object off with a SEMI TRUCK!

 

Cops and Firefighters must like their pensions because they never said nothing. Out of hundreds of witnesses? How many came forward? Damn few.
 

And did ANY of this budge the needle on government transparency? Nope.

 

And if you don't have physical evidence? You’re gonna be labeled a crackpot hoaxer. You have already fallen for it. You don't like the comparison to UFOs because you don't like the stigma attached to them. Well guess what? Bigfoot has a massive stigma attached to it as well.

 

Why does the government do this? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let’s put aside discussion about the UFO like incident itself you bring up.  I’ll even assume for the sake of discussion the incident is exactly as you describe for now.  
 

You are telling me your incident would accomplish a cover-up if those people all had cell phones and instant social media like today?!    No way.  
 

Take your scenario and add social media and cell phones of today.  It would be all over the news.  You would have all kinds of photos and video not some artist rendering from eyewitness accounts.  Surprised the eye witnesses exist since they should have been eliminated 

 

 I’m saying cell phones would matter.  Social media would matter.  You seem to be saying it wouldn’t.    

 

 I’ll debate the actual incident you refer to some other time.  Just admit you think if the exact same thing happened today all those cell phones and social media would be silenced.  All those witness would be silenced (?) even tough they were Not Silenced in your example incident.   
 

  I’m talking about shooting a Bigfoot.  I’m not taking about crashed flying saucers or whatever.   They are two different levels of concern.   I’m talking about modern happenings easily spreading like wildfire.  You say it wouldn’t based on something from 50 years ago.  

Can you just say what would happen today and stick to today?  Otherwise we will be going into all kinds of bunny trails way past the matter at hand.
