This is going to be a really large post; please read my commentary at the bottom of the list. The bulk of this post comes from Bigfootfourms.com, and it was posted by a person who goes by Taylor. So a big thanks to them for it. I have also added some reports that were not on the list. Some of the links may not be good anymore, but that is out of my control. This is very good for archival purposes at the very least.

Are You Tired Of Bigfoot Not Being Taken Seriously?
Bigfoot Activist Mark Zaskey Says It’s Time For That To Change
By Dorraine Fisher
Are you tired of being ridiculed as a Bigfoot eye witness and researcher?  Are you tired of your sighting being treated like the delusion of a crazy person by skeptics and the scientific community?  Bigfoot eye witness, researcher, and activist, Mark Zaskey says Bigfoot is real. We all know it. And it’s time for all that to change now.

One of hardest things Bigfoot researchers deal with every day is ridicule.  Ridicule from law enforcement, ridicule from scientists, ridicule from skeptics, and from a general public that has been programmed to believe that Bigfoot is a joke; basically nothing more than an object of modern marketing hype like Jack Links.
 
But the number of credible eye witnesses is piling up high enough to break the ceiling now.  And according to Mark, an ever-growing number of those eye witnesses are scientists. So why does the validation of bigfoot seem so often too far away to even hope for? When do the public and the scientific community finally start to believe that thousands of sightings reports are valid and describing a real creature and not a mythical one?

Mark thinks it’s time for researchers to unite and take a stand for Bigfoot and Bigfoot researchers, and is staunchly committed to the process.  He, along with a couple scientists, so far, and around 50 fellow eye witnesses are actually working together to form a foundation to make that happen.  And they need your help.  Because Mark, after his own Bigfoot sighting in 2013 and his son’s in 2012, decided that what he saw was real, and was eerily human-looking.  And this has affected his life profoundly, (like so many others) and should be taken seriously, and not ridiculed.  He believes scientists in Bigfoot research and other Bigfoot researchers have been kept down by a skeptical scientific community that has refused to acknowledge thousands of credible witnesses whose lives have been forever changed by what they saw. And he wants to know why. A huge number of these people have been driven to become researchers and find answers on their own while the scientific community and skeptics malign and ridicule them rather than embracing the piles of evidence researchers work so hard to obtain.

“I know what I saw,” Mark explained. “ I know what a bear looks like, and this was not a bear. It was nothing like a bear.  But researchers are blocked from acting on their beliefs about this. WE must begin to examine ourselves and this problem. This is a most important thing to history EVER!” 
Every time the subject is brought up in the scientific community, or that, heaven forbid, they might be a type of human, it’s quickly squelched and swept under the rug as if it has no significance to science at all.  The question is why.

When Bigfoot just might be one of the most significant revelations of the 21st century, why is the subject being blocked at every turn? With so much evidence on the table, why are the top scientific authorities in the world still denying the creature’s existence?

“There’s an ever-growing number of scientists who’ve seen them with their own eyes and know they’re real,” Mark said.  “And if they can come together along with numerous eye witnesses and demand to be taken seriously and demand that mainstream science take this seriously, I think we can make a difference and open up a new conversation about them and get them the protection they need.
Mark’s movement is gaining steam, but the foundation still can use all the help it can get. “ We need more scientists that are willing to stand together and we need as many eye witness researchers as possible who aren’t afraid to stand up for what they know to be true.”

They’re out there. They’re real. We all know it.  Now let’s do something about it.
Mark is working on a new website for the foundation that will be up very soon. I’ll publish new information as I get it. But in the meantime, check out this video from Bigfoot Researchers United to find out what it’s all about, and get involved. I’ve included Mark’s contact information below.  **********DF

Bigfoot on trial

When talking about Bigfoot one can expect to get some raised eyebrows and maybe a few smirks. But mention that you have actually encountered the elusive creature and/or found evidence to support it and many people will quickly start calling you crazy, delusional or ask what drugs you are on. In other words they really bring into question your character.

The Bigfoot research field is full of lovable, but wacky people who have good intentions but see 92 bigfoot in every photograph. So the label of delusional might fit in some cases. I think some of them know there is nothing in their photos and they just do it to cause a stir or get attention, or maybe it's just for kicks.

!!UPDATE 5 !! -
Dyer releases a video!

This comes from his blog at
http://bigfootevidence101.blogspot.com/2013/02/breaking-news-rick-dyer-makes-short.html

!!UPDATE 4!! - The latest reports I'm getting and they are somewhat unconfirmed, is that Facebook/Findbook will have a video interview with Musky Allen tonight and he will be talking about what he seen and if the body is real. This video should be loaded up tonight is what I've heard.

!!UPDATE!! - At this time and to my knowledge there has been no statement made by Musky Allen or the unnamed person who got to view the body with Dyer last night.

!!UPDATE 3!! -  The unnamed person who also reportedly seen and touch the body is said to be someone from the bigfoot community and who is a believer. I knew in advance about this but could not tell it, I do not know who it is but some speculated that it was Dr. Meldrum but that is just a rumor and unconfirmed. These people have been up all night and I assume they are either on a plane asleep or at home asleep. I expect a up date as the day goes on.
Thanks

!! UPDATE 2 !! -  Meeting Confirmed! Musky Allen has Seen the Body! Body also verified by another yet unnamed person.




!!UPDATE!! -  I'm 99.9 percent sure the meeting is taking place tonight (may be underway already), there are several other factors involved in the meeting that I really can't talk about but if what my insider has told me is true then this should settle it.
Just so you will know Musky Allen is to be blindfolded and taken to the location and he will not be allowed to take any photos but there is some other things planned to prove it to him and others.
Hope to get an update .



Major Breaking News about the Tent video!

An inside source has informed me that the meeting between Musky Allen and Rick Dyer could very well be taking place TONIGHT!

For those who don't know Musky Allen is one of the most noted skeptic in the Bigfoot Community. Dyer extended  an invitation to Allen to come and view the body, under some conditions. Well that meeting appears to be taking place tonight.

Our inside source said the Allen would not be a skeptic after tonight.

I will do my best to keep you posted.

Thanks

Could this be a bigfoot watching from the tree line? (Slightly left of center)

This picture of a possible bigfoot comes to us from Albert Fuhs. It was taken a long times ago, Albert now has much better equipment and is currently working on a film with Todd Standing. Albert say he knows this photo is not very good but says it is a real sasquatch. Albert estimates the height of this sasquatch at about 8 foot tall.

Here is a zoomed and enhanced version of the above photo.

You can see what appears to be a figure.

At this time there is no set date for the release of the upcoming film by Albert and Todd, but I will pass along anything I find out.

Thanks

What would proof of Bigfoot mean to you? Bigfoot Proof The Real Reason It’s So Important?

By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher
Professional Writer, a nature and wildlife enthusiast who has written for many magazines.



     While we’re waiting for science to do it’s thing and process DNA evidence to prove without a shadow of a doubt that other intelligent human-like creatures actually do walk the earth, the debate about their existence will still rage on. Whether you believe or not, it’s a fact in this community that we all reluctantly accept.

But why have we all become so obsessed? Is it the need to be right? Maybe, but I don’t think that’s the whole reason. Is it the need for vindication? In part, but that’s not all of it either. Is it money? Yes, that too, a little, but not necessarily. Not when so many of us do this work for very little or nothing.

There’s a little element of obsession that takes over when you’ve seen, heard, or otherwise experienced something that hasn’t been proven to exist. You know what you saw, but may not always matter. There may still a part of you that has to ask the question, "Did I really? Or did I just imagine it?"

But for those of us who’ve never actually had a sighting or been forced to struggle through the act of processing that, it’s more like just satisfying an intellectual curiosity. Or maybe it’s just fun to think about.

But for those who struggle every day to process what they saw, it becomes more of an obsession; a motivation that drives you want to know more and to understand. The real, solid proof becomes more important because maybe you DO need to vindicate yourself to some degree. That would feel good, wouldn’t it? This must surely be the case with habituators. Seeing these creatures on a regular basis when other don’t have that experience could be frustrating, and vindication might be the sweetest thing ever.

But it’s different for those who’ve just had a random sighting, face to face with legend in a split second in infinity. They are the uniquely tortured individuals in this quest. And they’re the ones I’m focused on here and now.

There’s always that miniscule, remote possibility that you didn’t see what you thought you saw. But there’s just as good a chance that you did. And when the proof finally does come, it certainly won’t end the arguments because there’s so much left to explore and learn. But maybe it will help you JUST enough. Maybe you’ll see that it’s not entirely necessary to know what you saw was real. Maybe it’s even simpler than that. If the real proof is finally already there to support what you believe, maybe that will help you relax and put it into perspective. No more stressing over possibilities. No more wondering. What you saw very well COULD have been real, and maybe that’s all you’ll need to know. We can only hope. *******DF

Over the last week, there has been a war of words over the expected results and publishing of the Dr. Ketchum  Bigfoot DNA study. Supporters and those hopeful of the DNA study results have rallied in support of Dr. Ketchum, while some are still screaming it's all a hoax or that the study is flawed in some way. At times the attacks on Dr. Ketcum and Robin Lynne have been rather strong if not completely over the top.

So where does it all stand now? Well, we know that the folks over at SasquatchThe Quest have updated their website to include information about the bigfoot DNA study and Media contact info. Adrian Erickson the leader/found of the Erickson project has been associated with the Ketchum DNA study for a long time now.
Erickson added the following to his website:

"The Erickson Project is a contributor of six Sasquatch DNA samples to Dr.Ketchum's study, all from diverse areas, one of those samples was used to sequence a complete Sasquatch genome in Dr. Ketchum's study. Specific information on the role of The Erickson Project will be released when her manuscript is published."

I would recommend that you go to the Erickson project website (Sasquatch The Quest) and read it firsthand as there is more information on there that I did not cover.

What about the paper itself? Well despite what you might have heard or read the DNA paper is NOT rejected and over with. It is my understanding that at some point the paper was rejected and was needing to be rewritten, this was done and additional information was added and the paper was resubmitted. It's also reported that the DNA paper is also in peer review in a Russian Journal. Who will publish it first is a good question. I would assume everyone would rather see it published in an American journal because to many it would carry much more weight and be seen as more creditable, but this is not to say a Russian publishing would be without merit.     

Dr. Ketchum issued this statement about the paper: "..it is in review, So far no indication of rejection..."

Ketchum has revealed some details about the study with statements like ".. Our nuclear is 3 genomes from three individuals and is 3 Terabytes of data..". 

If you do know much about Terabytes let me bring in some perspective to the actual size we are talking about. On 1 Terabyte you could put approximately 111 DVDs, if movies is not your thing about music because you can put approximately 250,000 songs on 1 Terabyte, now times that by 3 and we are talking about a lot of data.

As it's reported right now the paper is in the final stages of peer review and is expected to pass. Once the paper is ready to publish or soon after it publishes we can expect a release of a stream of videos from the Erickson project or perhaps an all-in-one DVD type of release.

So what's in the Erickson Videos? Reportedly some of the videos are in HD and are shot at around 40-50 feet away from a living bigfoot. Some videos are reportedly not anywhere near HD quality but the subjects in the footage are believed to be real living, breathing bigfoot.
One video that was reportedly included in the Erickson Project videos was The Russian Bigfoot in the Snow video, You can view it below.
