Thunderbird in Indiana?

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:57:56 -0700

Just saw this, the size is amazing, but I am not sure if there are not birds large enough to have feathers like this. The problem I have is that most pictures don't give anything for scale.

Tx Governor to add the eradication of the Chupacabra on the list of emergency legislation

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 12:38:15 -0800

Today Governor Perry called upon the 82nd Legislature to put the eradication of the Chupacabra on the list of emergency legislation.
It is estimated over 1000 chupacabras have been seen in the rural areas of Texas. Chupacabras, a pig like creature, have been known to roam in packs, digging up the ground with their long tusks looking for insects and roots. Over building has contributed to the problems as Texans destroy their natural habitat.

I ssaw this on another forum, and I am not sure if it is a joke or not.

Would like to know how you feel about Bigfoot

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:30:37 -0700

I have been interested in Bigfoot since I was a young child. The thought of a bipedal undiscovered ape living in north America is something that I would love to see happen. The debate has been going on for centuries. The native Americans told stories of great creatures living in the woods, and sightings continue through today. It is hard to take serious, because of idiots like those fools in Georgia who played a little joke on the entire world it is impossible to take any reports or evidence as solid.

The Patterson film has been examined for 40 years. Some people say there is no way it is a human in a costume. Others say that it is a person in a costume. Not ALL of these people are idiots on either side of the fence. Some are top people in their fields, and really know what they are talking about. This is on BOTH sides of the debate.

So who is right? IF these creatures do exist, why is it taking so long to prove or disprove it? With modern tech. being employed, and even though there are still places in the United States were no human being has ever set foot, it seems that it would be only a matter of time before the existence of these creatures is either proven, or dis-proven. I am open to the fact that these creatures might not exist. I am open to the fact that maybe the Patterson film is just a guy in a costume. But in my opinion, it is the real deal.

I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this

Bigfoot on thermal camera ?

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:37:50 -0700

Uwharrie, NC (PRWEB) -- ”This is the most important footage of a Sasquatch since Paterson/ Gimlin film taken over 40 years ago,” said Matthew Moneymaker, head of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization ( BFRO)as he introduced guest speaker Michael Greene to a crowd of 250 Bigfoot researchers in Yakima, Washington, at an invitation only tribute to Bob Gimlin.

In 1967 The Paterson/ Gimlin film of a Sasquatch striding across a creek in northern California made headlines around the world.

Since then there has been only dubious additional footage, usually crudely made fakes.

Until now.

In April 28th,2009, some three minutes of video of a Sasquatch were taken through a thermal imager (FLIR) by Michael Greene, in the Uwharrie National Forest, NC.

This footage, known as “The Squeaky Thermal” was first shown at Bob Gimlin’s birthday party 2 weeks later. It was viewed with wild applause and a heartfelt “Thank you, thank you so much” from Bob Gimlin, who was finally receiving some well deserved vindication of his efforts so long ago.

Michael Greene is the retired Chief of a State Fraud Investigations Bureau. has a Master’s Degree in Psychology, and is a Court Qualified Questioned Documents Expert ,and former Investigator for the Public Defender’s Office .His hobby for the last 20 years has been searching for proof of this elusive beast. This quest has taken him from glacier fields in the Yukon, to a giant meteor crater in northern Quebec, the Everglades of Florida and the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest.

In 2008 he briefly saw a Sasquatch in the Uwharrie National Forest , and spent the next year repeatedly camping at the spot, trying to encourage its return and gain some semblance of its trust.

“Over and over I left out bananas, apples, peanut butter, Zagnut bars, and little squeaking bathtub toys that my grandchildren like to play with. Hence the name 'Squeaky', one of the toys the Bigfoot took. Sometimes things would be taken , most times not. At the time I could only record for about 2 hours, the battery life of the thermal , so a lot of the night went unrecorded. This is definitely a patient man’s game.

"A thermal imager sees only images made by heat. FLIR, or Forward Looking Infra Red, is most familiar to viewers of police reality shows like COPS, where a fugitive is seen from a helicopter as a white image, running through backyards. You cannot fool a thermal imager as it is recording only the heat signature of what it sees. Thus, a man in a costume would look splotchy and irregular, as his costume would suppress the body heat to varying degrees, unlike a naked man, or Bigfoot, which would appear primarily as a solid color."

Greene continues, "Around 11:30 on the night of April 28th, 2009 I was setting up the thermal recording stuff, to try hiding it in the back of my Toyota Highlander when I heard movement in the woods down in the area I expected it to show up. On an impulse I took the thermal imager and put it on a tripod, with the DVR ( Digital Video Recorder) on the ground next to it. Then I got in the car and drove away, leaving my campsite very obviously deserted . I drove to the one entrance to the area ( which had no one else in it) and parked for two hours ( the approximate life of the thermal’s battery ). When I returned the battery was indeed dead, but the bait was gone.

"On reviewing the tape I saw that about half an hour after I drove away, the creature very cautiously approaches, crawling up the hill behind the stump, then reaches up with its right arm and grabs the Zagnut bar. Then it crawls backwards , moving almost out of sight and moves off to the right of the screen. A few seconds later, perhaps emboldened by its success, it reappears on the right side of the screen and moves, standing upright, to behind a tree, where it slowly sways back and forth, giving the viewer a good idea of its enormous bulk. This swaying behavior has been repeatedly reported by other witnesses. The height I estimate at around 7 ½ feet, but it is hard to exactly pin down as the ground slopes down , away from the viewer so one cannot exactly tell where it’s feet hit the ground.

"My website, www.bushloper.net, gives a thorough explanation of the area, and how it was filmed and a reenactment of the Sasquatch’s movements by me, wearing only shorts, taken from the same spot, with the same equipment. You can see the difference, and I’m 6’5” tall and 190 pounds .By comparison, this thing is huge. The website also contains the complete Squeaky Thermal video (Copyrighted).

"After Bob Gimlin’s birthday party I posted some of the footage on the BFRO website, where it has been viewed over 80,000 times, with overwhelmingly positive feedback.

"Most people are completely unaware of the enormous body of reports and evidence for this fascinating but very elusive creature’s existence. I suggest that they explore the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) website at bfro.net and spend a few hours reading.

"My efforts continue to this day, now with the ability to record all night long with two thermal imagers, in hopes of getting clearer and longer footage to finally put the question of their existence to bed once and for all.”

Michael Greene recently moved to Salisbury, North Carolina. Formerly from New Jersey, he is a Private Pilot, Former EMT, and 18 year veteran of the National Ski Patrol., He served as a Sergeant/ Tank Commander with the 4th Recon Squadron,6th Armored Cavalry.

A full biography and details of his long search may be seen on his website www.bushloper.net.

An interview with Greene discussing how he obtained the thermal footage may be seen on YouTube at BFRO VIDEOS,Mike Greene (sic) Interview.

Not sure how many watch this show, but as a season finale they showed their jersey devil hunt, While they did get some great video of a deer, They DID NOT catch the Jersey Devil, in my opinion.
Here's the video, let me know what you think.

There's some really great shows on there, they seem to be actually trying to use modern methods to prove or debunk Cyrptos on this show. It's not one of those, it has to be true shows and I like that.

Biscardi's hoaxes

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 14:09:02 -0800

Tom Biscardi claimed to have a preserved hand of a sasquatch.

The hand was indentified by multiple scientists and amateur naturalists as the hand of a black bear.

Tom Biscardi claimed to have captured a subadult bigfoot and communicated with it on video.

He was subsequently banned from appearing on Coast to Coast AM after making this claim on the air and following it up with no evidence whatsoever.

Tom Biscardi released a number of bigfoot photos online, including two which he claimed where from a video of a bigfoot bathing in a pond.

The photos showed textbook signs of being faked and no one has seen any video.

Don't believe a word this man says. Make sure he receives no money and do not associate yourself with him in any way.
