Twist Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I guess I'm not following your logic OS. If anything I would say your math would be more akin to BF population density numbers if you ignore things such as possible habitat ranges. I don't see how you bring report credibility into this.

Guest OntarioSquatch Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) It's based on the assumption that you would get the same number of hoaxers in each state relative to the total population of the state. If we assume that's true, then the additional reports from states with a higher number of reports (relative to the population) can be used to determine what percentage of reports are definitely legitimate. You can also use this to get an idea of which states have a higher population of Sasquatch. Edited June 13, 2017 by OntarioSquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I just quickly googled both populations. The info is a few years old but non the less: Ok was roughly 3.9 mill Wa is 7.2 mill Yet 4x the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OntarioSquatch Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) It's the percentage that one has to look for. 20 (Oklahoma) to 80 (Washington) is the same as 40 to 160 and 80 to 320 in terms of ratio. 20, 40, and 80 can represent the maximum number hoaxers. In any case, it'll be a maximum of 20% in the example I'm giving, assuming there aren't more hoaxers in Washington than in Oklahoma. Even if there were, the difference wouldn't be much. Going back to the topic of individual reports, here's an interesting one that I believe can be determined to be authentic based on what was described by the witness, and the way it's described: http://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=26888 Edited June 13, 2017 by OntarioSquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm not calling you wrong, just not following your logic. I'm to old to revisit math at this point lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the primary witness/submitter made such a claim. on multiple occasions in a area frequented by civilians Two occasions. yet never notifies authorities....... The "authorities" were U.S. military personnel; the witnesses were young men and women. Had one of them been you, would you have tried to make an appointment with the base commander to discuss the encounters? then waits 41 years to file a report. I don't think there was a BFRO, many private computers or a lot known about such critters by young folks back then. (Because of the high numbers of sighting on that federal/state military base during the past 50 years or so, rest assured the staff does not need anyone to tell them about the BF on the property.) Super sketchy Super stretchy.. By the way, I've personally received and investigated about a dozen reports from that general area. Three of which were forwarded from the BFRO. The details of all three have been published on BFRO's report site. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The example I posted is based on the number of reports per state, which is available on the BFRO website. To support that the ratio between states is accurate, you have to use other sources as well, not just databases. All things considered, I would say the number of reports coming from people residing in Washington state is significantly higher than the number of reports coming from people residing in Oklahoma. 6 minutes ago, dmaker said: Posterior extraction.

According to witnesses there are at least two white-haired ones, and possibly a third. One now is old, decrepit and short tempered. It is believed that is the one that has a bedding area atop a large beaver lodge out in an old cypress swamp. I'll try to find a photo of that bedding place which was taken by local guy and posted on an AR sports forum. The old booger has aggressively escorted several hunters out of the woods just before dark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as a matter of fact I do, but I take it you already know that, and are just trying to discredit me through a fallacy, instead of trying to understand this phenomenon in an unbiased manner.

Guest DWA Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 This report goes very firmly on the pile. For those who haven't yet read me saying that: there is nothing, flat nothing, in this report that would lead anyone to suspect the witness to be lying, hallucinating or otherwise in error about the basic nature of what was seen. And there are, OK, didn't count, but like 10 guidebook-standard markers - and by the way, most people would have zero idea of what those are, because they're too busy looking for "red flags" and there are none here - in the account. There is no reason to assume this guy didn't see something corresponding to his description of it, which is why he contacted the BFRO, because that's what it reads like.

7.62 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 With out reading the replies what stands out to me the most was that natural selection didn't work in this case by allowing an Albino to survive to adulthood . It would have to have been spotted many times . Something that big and white in an area where people do frequent according to the report would have no camouflage in that type of foliage. It also said that he hunted that area and I will assume so did many others . Did anyone else ever report an Albino bigfoot other than saying his friends and himself saw it several times? Maybe he's telling the truth or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
