gigantor Posted January 29, 2022 Admin Posted January 29, 2022 Dear BFF Members, The Forum Management Team proposed and the Steering Committee approved releasing the raw SSR Dataset to the community in order to facilitate independent research. The SSR database will always be available if you need to use its capabilities, but we have received requests for the raw dataset many times in the past, so here it is. There will be regular releases posted in this thread as more data is classified. Attribution to "The Bigfoot Forums" is required for any published analysis. We hope it helps somebody advance the search. Thanks, ~gigantor Data Fields Date <MM/DD/YYYY> - MM = {01..12}, DD = {01..31}, YYYY = {0001..9999} Time <hh:mm> - hh = {00..23}, mm = {00..59} Duration <mm:ss> - mm = {00..99}, ss = {00..59} Latitude <floating point> Longitude <floating point> Altitude (ft) <floating point> State <string(2)> County <string(30)> Height (ft in) <string(10)> Footprint Size (inches) <string(10)> Organization <string(30)> Researcher <string(30)> Season: (mutually exclusive - can only select one) 1 - Spring (Mar 20 - Jun 19) 2 - Summer (Jun 20 - Sep 19) 3 - Fall (Sep 20 - Dec 19) 4 - Winter (Dec 20 - Mar 19) Type: (mutually exclusive - can only select one) S - Single Creature M - Multiple Creature N - Non Visual T - Trace Evidence Witness: (mutually exclusive - can only select one) 1 - Single, no evidence 2 - Multiple, no evidence 3 - Single, evidence 4 - Multiple, evidence Witness Activity: (mutually exclusive - can only select one) A - ATV B - BFing C - Camping D - Driving (road) E - 4 Wheeling (off-road) F - Fishing G - Hiking H - Horseback I - Hunting J - Boating / Canoeing / Kayaking N - Normal Activity at Home P - Playing (children) S - Swimming BF Activity: (inclusive, can select any) E - Eating F - Food Gathering H - Hunting K - Knocking O- Objects Thrown P - Speech R - Road Crossing S - Standing T - Stalking V - Vocalization W - Whistling X - Swimming Disposition: (inclusive, can select any) A - Aggressive C - Curious I - Indifferent R - Scared S - Surprised Locomotion: (inclusive, can select any) C - Crawling G - Gliding J - Jogging R - Running W - Walking O - On all fours Terrain: (mutually exclusive, can select one) B - Beach C - Cave D - Desert F - Rain Forest H - Wooded Hill M - Mountainside P - Pasture / Crop Field S - Swamp W - Wooded Plain Zoning: (mutually exclusive, can select one) A - Agricultural C - City M - Commercial P - Park Land / Refuge R - Rural S - Suburb Print Evidence: (mutually exclusive, can select one) TP - Print (1) TS - Track (1) TM - Track (2+) TC - Print (1) + Cast TT - Track (1) + Cast TN - Track (2+) + Cast Photo Evidence: (mutually exclusive, can select one) PF - Photo Film PD - Photo Digital PI - Photo Infrared PN - Photo Night Vision MF- Motion Film MT - Motion Tape MD - Motion Digital MI - Motion Infrared MN - Motion Night Vision Biological Evidence: (inclusive, select any) B - Blood D - Dermal Print F - Feces H - Hair T - Tissue R - Remains Hair Color (mutually exclusive, can only select one) B - Black D - Dark Brown G - Green N - Brown O - Orange R - Red Y - Yellow W - White Skin Color (mutually exclusive, can only select one) B - Black G - Gray N - Brown W - White Weather (inclusive, select any) S - Sunny P - Partly Cloudy O - Overcast R - Rain L - Sleet F - Fog N - Snow W - Wind Moon Cycle (exclusive, can select one) 1 - New Moon 2 - Waxing Crescent 3 - First Quarter Moon 4 - Waxing Gibbous 5 - Full Moon 6 - Waning Gibbous 7 - Last Quarter Moon 8 - Waning Crescent Other: (inclusive, select any) E - Eye Shine O - Odor L - Lore, indigenous traditions, historical references BFRO Class (mutually exclusive, can select one) A - Class A B - Class B C - Class C URL: <string> Notes on Column Labels NED = Not Exact Date.
