Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Shoot drop box does not work, tried it but is shares all of my files not just the one I am trying to share, well I guess Gigantor is going to have to save me, chelefoot is also seeing what can be done to keep the thing intact. I used tape-a-call software so it has some beeps I wish I could edit out, the beeps notify that I am recording the conversation. Well anyway it was an interesting interview, and William did share several facts I had not put together before, like the base of the craft being 48 feet long, that is much much bigger that I imagined it. I apologize in advance for the goofy guy doing the interview, I was actually quite nervous and it shows a bit, the stupid laughing as I talk drives me crazy, but I hope you guys will see past it and get something out of the interview when I finally figure out how to post it, I made it into a movie, but that thing is enormous in size, and You Tube won't let me download it in it's present form.

Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Here we go, blogtalk to the rescue, trial period... I edit at the 37 minute mark or so because the discussion went in a direction that involved individuals that attempted to highjack the project, that will come out later at some point but not now.... http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lakecountybigfooot/2015/02/17/the-falcon-project-a-discussion-for-the-bigfoot-forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Here is my interview with William Barnes, hope you can ignore the beeps from my phone recording app, but He shares some stuff I have not heard elsewhere. He also still needs runners to help the ground team stay supplied as well as welcoming any funding offered for the long term needs of the project, any contributions can be made directly to Idaho State University in the name of the "Falcon Project". If you have further questions William welcomes your phone calls 435 215 3054, trust me I know...he answered my e-mail within minutes, and my phone calls the first attempt, and when I asked for 15 minutes of his time he gave me 1 1/2 hours! http://www.blogtalkr...-bigfoot-forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) To summarize what I took away from the interview, William has thought through quite a bit of the minutia involved in getting this done, he has a close friendship with the builder of the craft, which is a one of a kind, custom made, military grade surveillance craft using a propulsion system that is effective and quiet and allows great maneuverability, and range. While the craft is to be restricted to a 10 mile radius it has a 20 mile capability.can reach heights over 10,000 feet above see level and speeds up to 45 miles per hour. The platform of the craft is 48 feet long, much larger than I imagined, the size is needed to carry it's payload. On board it is equipped with Thermal imaging, Inferred Night Vision, and HD filming, all observing through a very power full and large lense, fully motorized, and capable of facial recognition from a mile away. There is also Co2 recognition capabilities on board as well as redundancies in the camera chip to ensure no loss of signal, redundancies in the motor system and homing devices ensure it arrives back safely. The command and control center will feature "recognition software"that will allow them to quickly identify subjects. It is very fuel efficient and durable, even if shot in the air it will still fly and can be patched. The mission of the craft will be centered over areas where the forest floor is in view, not densely forested areas. It will be flying between mountains, but not during times of strong winds, primarily at night during the ground surveillance hours. To fly safely it will be shut down if winds are over 15 mph. Professional trackers will operate in the daylight locating sign of the creatures, and night surveillance will then be positioned. The teams will attempt to map out movements and determine the range of the creatures, and if possible capture film evidence in the process. Scat, hair, and any other form of retrievable DNA will be gathered under strict protocols. The FAA regulations for a research and education craft of it's kind require them to obtain permits and submits flight plans, the craft is fitted with a transponder and operation lights that make it identifiable to other crafts. They will be obtaining a COA for a 500 mile area to give you an idea of the ground being covered. Realistically they will be able to observe roughly 30 acres of area during the night hours from the ground, but the craft will allow further observations. The need for fresh track is essential, and that will be the initial phase of the project, mapping out tracks of the animal, by that I mean a track sign, not actual foot tracks, though that might be included in the sign as well. The craft should be completed in the late summer and join the ground crews. The exact amount and cost of the project is not known at present, but funding is in place to get the crew out and the craft started. It sounds like the project is dependent on income streams and donations from that point forward. The amount of raw footage being obtained will allow for many opportunities to fund the project. and everyone on the ground will be filming activities using go pros and other devices. Data will be collected as supplies are brought in to the ground team. and evidence will be vetted by a panel second to none including, Meldrum, Bindernagel, Munns, Redman, Myonczinski, Halfpenny, and others. Maybe let people know that you have his number, and pass it along via pm instead of posting it on an open forum.... William specifically requested I do post it on the open forum, that is how he rolls, that is how I got the interview.

bipedalist Posted February 17, 2015 BFF Patron Share Posted February 17, 2015 There is actually a forum policy that we do not post individual phone numbers of persons unless they request it. I like the element of the CO2 detection of living breathing animals, that most be a remarkably sensitive device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 LCB, Interesting interview. Do you have a personal biography for your guest William Burns? Can you post some of his public background? Did I understand (W. Burns) to say there is an upcoming documentary production about show Bob Garrett, and his Campground video incidents was made to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement, to hush him up?

Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Actually Gumshoe the name is Barnes, but as far as the documentary William alluded to, well that will have to be seen. He mentioned a Disney crew that he knew and that he was working on it, maybe he meant Discovery, I am not going to hold him to either, but it would be interesting. Read my recent post in the Campsite Thread, I think we need to keep our minds open on this one. William made a point that you have to work with the government on these things, perhaps he has been approached himself, he said he expected some flack for the Department of the Interior, and may even take the project to B.C. if necessary. As far as Williams bio, he was a fundraiser for many organizations, did some prospecting, owned a business, and now is a full time researcher. I am sure he would be happy to fill you in if you called him, but be ready for a phone bill...he can talk with the best of them... and it is almost entirely interesting. I credit him with a bit of genius in that regard, just the right guy to dream this big and possibly pull it off!

Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) So 2015, we have the Falcon Project, we have others following that model as mentioned by William in my interview. We have other groups working tirelessly to harvest a specimen, and getting closer by the day, the NAWAC, GCBRO, and not to forget Projectgrendel! How much longer can it we go on with this amount of effort, unprecedented effort to prove the existence of the creature. The Government seems to stepping up it's intelligence game to be prepared for the discovery, many things are coming together for specie recognition, would it not be great for John Green and others of that generation of researchers to finally see the end of the road, and to know that their efforts to hand the torch to later generations actually accomplished their mission. Say what you will, be skeptical as you may, but I think the dawn of discovery is upon us, maybe not in 2015, but it will happen if the efforts we see now can be sustained. What will this mean to bigfoot research, well we can all armchair it and let the scientists do what we have been doing, or "we can keep up the work knowing that we know longer have to prove anything, only discover everything", that is my quote of the day...

SWWASAS Posted February 20, 2015 BFF Patron Share Posted February 20, 2015 If BF is flesh and blood then one of the groups now trying to get a body eventually will. Just a matter of time. My concern has always been at that point what then? If there is a government cover up it will be confiscated either openly or just be "stolen" overnight. The latter would give the government deniability of a cover up. Once you have the body, prevention of deterioration, where to take it, who you let see it, who to trust, are all factors in play at that point. I would recommend that before the first phone call announcing discovery is made, many DNA tissue samples, numerous photographs, and other documentation is made and removed from the location for safe keeping with trusted friends or relatives. There are opportunists outside the government that would steal the body just for the potential monetary gain. Even if the federal government does not get involved, local agencies could at any point confiscate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) SWWASP I know that NAWAC has thought this through including your concerns, my biggest concern with harvesting a specimen is how do you retrieve an animal of that size, I think I have heard someone say you might need to sever a few portions, well that is another way to guarantee some part of it reaches the scientific world. It might not be feasible to carry a 1200 pound creature out of the woods intact. Perhaps you could trailer it after winching it up. How are you gonna pull all this off if the rest of them decide your toast and charge you, can you shoot that fast, and stop them before they take you out? I think three angry Sasquatch could do a whole lot of damage to a group of armed individuals, I just do not think you can react quick enough, but guns might hold them at bay, hard to tell. At Hoonobia they took the body before it could be retrieved, there is a reason why one of these guys has not made it out of the woods although killed. If Justin Smeja was telling the truth, I believe other individuals removed the body of the juvenile, perhaps the parent survived. Many reports of them being shot exist, but few have fallen the creature in it's tracks, I heard of one other case in Canada, do not know whether that was trustworthy, people tend to shoot at them more out of a gut reaction, but that gut reaction also leads them to want to leave or cover up what they have done, as a whole they feel guilty and think the creature appears too human to want to present what they have done to others.

Lake County Bigfooot Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Idaho professor tells Badger Club he believes Sasquatch may live Mid Columbia Tri City Herald - ‎Jan 29, 2015‎ The lack of skeletal remains of Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest is readily explainable, said Jeff Meldrum, an Idaho State University anthropology professor, in Richland Thursday night. His talk at the annual meeting of the Columbia Basin Badger Club — “Do hidden creatures live in the Pacific Northwest?†— attracted a sold-out crowd of 130 people, a record number for the club. He’s taken a look at what he believes is the scientific DNA and forensic evidence gathered on Sasquatch in his book Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. But if Sasquatch exists, wouldn’t skeletal remains be found and wouldn’t the population be so small that it would go extinct, he was asked after he gave his presentation. He estimated that Sasquatch might have a range of 1,000 square miles. Such beings, when reports are received around the globe, tend to live in areas with 16 to 18 inches of rainfall annually, he said. That means there could be 60 to 100 in the state of Washington and 2,000 to 3,000 in all of North America. That’s enough for a sustainable population, he said. The population of mountain gorillas in Africa dropped down to less than 200 and survived, he said. It’s possible they have a social organization like the orangutan where the male patrols a large area. Evidence suggests they may forage individually, and when evidence of multiple Sasquatch are found, they are usually a female and offspring, he said. They are apparently long-lived — maybe living to 50 or 60 years old — and are at the top of their food chain. When they die, it would likely be a natural death, and they would secrete themselves away, he said. In the wet coniferous soils of the places they might live, any remains not chewed up by animals would disintegrate quickly in the soil. How many of those in the room had ever found bones from creatures that were far more common, he asked. A bear skull? A wolverine skull? No hands went up. Much of hist talk was devoted to comparing the footprints from possible Sasquatch and similar creatures, found in areas ranging from near Walla Walla to Asia. He finds similarities in the oversize footprints — 17 1/2 inches long in one example — gathered on opposite sides of the globe from different researchers in different decades. They include a horizontal line across the footprints that at first glance may look like a break across the cast. He interprets it to mean that the feet of Sasquatch flex, unlike the more rigid human foot. Meldrum’s research extends to other hominoids, including the ebu gogo of Flores, Indonesia. Locals say small ape-like people lived there before they were hunted to extinction, with the last of them driven into a cave and suffocated within the last few hundred years. Meldrum says he has a grant and is seeking permission to excavate the the cave. Meldrum maintains a website called The Relict Hominoid Inquiry. Just thought you might find this interesting....
