Bigfoot myth or monster?

[xspider1]

^ I think Huntster may be referring to the teeth and mandibles attributed to Gigantopithecus, georgerm.  (If not, he will probably correct me soon.)    

 

I watched the video you linked regarding the Bulga Sphere, Huntster.  Interestingly, that is apparently about the same size and shape, and it moves similar to what I saw fly past me about 35 years ago, except the object I saw appeared almost to be on fire with orange flames.  Maybe the tiny Alien craft I saw travelled a million+ light-years but then traffic on Earth was just too much for them..   That is really a topic for a different forum, I guess.  I didn't mean to detract from this interesting topic because we have plenty to argue about discuss regarding our favorite giant human-apes.

"Discovery" is a sham. All it is is permission for the masses to accept what many of us already know to be true.

 

What do many of us already know?  There are many witnesses to Bigfoot and I absolutely believe that they saw exactly what they describe but; what do they even know for sure?  Near death experiences are fascinating too, but again, no 'required proof' for Science.  

 

I use the character: ' (open quote) not to upset anybody, but to indicate that the words contained within were said in some context, Norseman.  You said, and I quote verbatim:

"Science will require one male and one female type specimen. It’s required for every extant species on the planet."  I asked you to reference that specifically which, you did not.  Instead, you want me to show your statement not to be true?  Even Science cannot prove a negative using only logic.  Your statement could only be proven false by testing which, as of now, cannot be done either.

Where did you find that we had a fossil record of bigfoot?.........

 

There are fossil records of all kinds of hominins, including very large ones like sasquatches such as Gigantopithecus.

..........What do you think the buga sphere's purpose is?

 

It's clearly some kind of drone. Whether it's extraterrestrial or not, I don't know.

Those who have seen <adjective> evidence for themselves know that sasquatches exist. They might not know exactly what they are or how Science would/will taxonomically categorize them, but "discovery" is a done deal for them.

True, I have always said something similar myself.  But discovery probably leaves eye-witnesses with even more questions than anyone else.  I would imagine that Bigfoot witnesses who have no doubt in their (sane) minds that they saw exactly what is described as Bigfoot might wonder more than anyone else, why and how Bigfoot can elude Scientific description.  Such is apparently just the case with our Forest Giants.  That is exactly what makes me think that something funny is definitely going on.  I see no way for them to be just extraordinary, yet other-wise normal, animals.

I've pondered this as well.   There is, however, one (somewhat humiliating) option .. maybe, rather than them being "magic", we're just more inept than we give ourselves credit for.

ONCE THE BIGFOOT SPECIES IS CLASSIFIED, DO YOU SEE NEW LAWS BEING PASSED THAT OVERLY PROTECT BIGFOOT'S HABITAT

 

Yep.  Everything would depend on how human Bigfoot would be.   I'll go off the idea Bigfoot is an ape.  Even then, the public would react through various actions. We are left to guess what ones they might be.  I would think at minimum the Bigfoot Ape (Bigis Americanis Meldrum) would be classified as endangered protected animal along the lines of the Bald Eagle or beyond.  If it is an ape the public seems fine with killing one so long as they feel some danger.

Escaped Monkeys Shot by Police in Mississippi

In late October 2025, a truck carrying 21 rhesus monkeys overturned on Interstate 59 near Heidelberg, Mississippi, causing several primates to escape into the surrounding fields and woods  When deputies arrived, they were told by a supervisor that the cargo contained 21 test monkeys infected with COVID, herpes, and hepatitis C. Based on that warning, the sheriff ordered the monkeys to be put down immediately T

SO AREAS THAT WERE ONCED LOGGED ARE NOW SHUT DOWN SO BIGFOOT CAN FREELY HUNT AND BUILD HOMES?

 

 

Hard to say what would happen.  I think we live in such a selfish world there would be an effort to dimmish any Bigfoot concern shortly after discovery.  Society would move on and say, "look we can't let some rare animal stop progress. We will make it illegal to kill one unless it is self-defense.  Otherwise, we need lumber.  We need houses"

DO YOU SEE THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT TAKING CHARGE AND HAMPERING LOGGING? (AT ONE TIME I WAS A CHOKER SETTER DURING A CAT LOGGING OPERATION AND UNDERSTAND LOGGING)

 

 

I feel the environmental movement is well intentioned in a complicated world.  If they would try to stop logging because of a rare owl, they would certainly play Bigfoot for all it is worth.  But by that token guys who sell sightseeing maps would promote Bigfoot tourism as well as the local hotel owner.  The NRA would try to use the fear of the North American Ape (Bigis Americanis Meldrum) to promote guns.  

 

Each would view it in terms of their own benefit.  That would be expected with Bigfoot or anything else for that matter on a case-by-case basis.

 

In the end I would predict Bigfoot would settle into an endangered species where you aren't allowed to kill one. The internet tells me the first offense to killing a Bald Eagle is as follows:

 

Up to $100,000 in fines, 1 year in federal prison, or both

 

 

ALL BETS ARE OFF if Bigfoot was nearly human with primitive language and understanding.   Then, I have NO ANSWERS to the question.  

 

 

Finally, I jokingly refer to Bigfoot as Bigis Americanis Meldrum.  However, I do believe 100% if Bigfoot ever became a proven creature Dr. Jeff Meldurm would be credited in the science world linked to the name of this animal.

Man, that is humiliating!  jj, well said  

I still contend that they are probably shape-shifting, extra-terrestrial aliens that emit ultra-sonic sounds capable of immobilizing other animals, shoot laser beams from their eyes and probably watch a lot of the History Channel, most likely on a super-advanced Roku device.  Call me old-fashioned, I guess..
