Pretty amazing that it is still working after all these years but you can't buy a lawnmower that will last more than a couple years.

Thanks

UFO Photos Project Video

This is a collection of ufo, alien, and crop circle photos. Some of them may be faked or hoaxed but if only one of them is real then it changes the way we think about the universe and alien visitors. These photos span from around 1900 to 2012. Some are NASA photos others are from sighting reports. A few of them are from some of the crypto crew's own investigations.

Here is the video

Bigfoot in Tennessee
by
Thomas Marcum

Does bigfoot live in Tn?
Tennessee is another great state that seems to have all the things needed to support a healthy clan of Sasquatch.
The BFRO has a total of 84 sighting reports listed for the state of TN (Here). Many counties have between 3-5 reported sightings. It is safe to assume that many sightings go unreported or are reported to groups other than the BFRO. 
Tennessee has around 14.4 million forest acres with about 5 percent of  forest managed by the U.S. forest service as National forest. About 7 percent is held by state,local and other federal agencies.
The Cherokee National Forest is located in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of east Tennessee, the Cherokee National Forest is divided into northern and southern sections by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The 650,000 acre forest is the largest in the state and joins national forest in Virginia,North Carolina and Georgia. The Cherokee national forest has more than 600 miles of trails to explore and for Sasquatch to hide.
Scott Carpenter AKA Joe Black
One noted East Tennessee researcher is Scott Carpenter, known better by his youtube name of Joe black. His actual youtube name is joebblack1963, view his youtube channel Here , he has many videos uploaded and recently captured a possible photo of a bigfoot.
Recent still frame from Scotts video
Scott is a member of NABS, which is a research group and is involved in the Ketchum DNA paper. It is also reported that Scott and NABS have DNA samples included in the yet to be published DNA paper by Dr. Melba ketchum.

I was able to ask Scott a few questions and here are the replies

Scott Carpenter Q & A

TCC: How long have you been researching bf?
SC: since 2009
TCC: Do you think the general public will ever accept that bf is real?
SC: Eventually, atfter the DNA and a live specimen is captured
TCC: How many bf dna samples do you have included in the upcoming DNA paper by Dr. ketchum?
SC: I do not honestly know, one is listed on Robert Lindsey web site, but I have not been told officially one way or another

Thanks Scott
Famous Case
One of if not the most famous bigfoot case in Tennessee is the one that has been happening for many years on the Carter farm.  The location of the farm is 57 miles south of Knoxville and 80 miles north of Chattanooga then east off of Interstate 75. The detailed stories and reports gained interest from a lot in the Bigfoot world. It even brought a researchers all the way from Russia. Igor Burtsev a Russian  researcher made the trip to the Carter farm back in 2004 and spent 5 weeks in Tennessee during the investigation. Burtsev left the farm convinced that most of the info was real after finding stick markers,nest,hairs and tracks, along with other evidence.

Janice Carter and the people who lived on the farm had been interacting with a clan of bigfoots for a number of years. Over time they got to know these creatures by their names or nick names. The most known was probably a large male bigfoot called "fox".

While preparing this article I was able to conduct an interview with Janice Carter. What follows is the interview.
Janice Carter Interview
TCC:  When did the first sightings of bigfoot start on the farm?
JC: My Grandparents moved to the farm in 1944. I do not know if any of the BFs were sighted before 1947 or not. It was in 1947 that my Grandfather and another man were clear cutting an area across a drainage ditch line behind the house for pasture that the tree either fell on Fox or he was in it when it fell and was discovered. My own first memory of Fox or any of the BFs was when I was three and Fox entered the house by way of the living room front door. For years after this event I thought I dreamed or imagined this or that Fox was a very large gorilla someone had as a pet that entered our home. I recall running out the back door and hiding in the dog house with one of our dogs at the time. I do not know how my Grandmother managed to get Fox out of the house or any great detail other than I was in the living room playing and all of a sudden this big hairy gorilla came into the house.
TCC: What was the most bigfoots you seen at one time?
JC: Thirty two in an area in NC. One of my research areas. This is a large family group.

TCC: Is there still sightings and encounters happening on the farm?
JC:  My half sister reports that once in a while Blackie shows up there. I'm not sure if this actually happens or not, because I do not have anything to do with Blackie. I do know where the rest of Fox's extended family members are located and they do not tend to visit the old farm.
TCC: What ever happened to the bigfoot known as "Fox"?
JC: Fox died in June 2010, I would need to look the exact date up but I'm pretty sure it was the 16. Sally Ramey, my youngest daughter and I came to visit him for the last time during this week. He was in bad health from infection in his foot and teeth.
TCC: What was the bigfoots favorite thing to eat?
JC: With Fox it was always M&M candies. Bo, Wenebojo likes Kit Kat candy best, Squeaky likes turnips which I find unusual since the rest of the gang and other BFs I work with do not seem to care for turnips or will not touch them. Nearly every one of the BFs in many states I have worked with for extended amounts of time and for years all like sweets best. They love popped popcorn the more butter the better, cinnamon graham crackers, cheese nips, and fruits that have a natural sweetness to them. While they will eat critic fruits upon occasion they seem to like apples, berries, peaches, and plums better than oranges, lemons, and grapefruit.
TCC: Was you fearful around these creatures?
JC: Of course, it is plain foolishness to state otherwise. Be it you work with domestic animals, wildlife or primitive peoples it is always wise to maintain a certain amount (of what I call) healthy fearfulness or respect for their unpredictability. You are dealing with a mammal that is very large, can if it feels threatened or challenged do you major bodily harm, and that is capable of intense thought and understanding. I'm not going to research a tribe of indigenous people anywhere without being fearful (cultural anthropology), neither am I going to work with a dog that has never been handled before without having a fear of being bitten, nor will I climb into a saddle of a horse that has never been ridden without a fear it will toss me on my head. I train and handle show dogs for a living, use to be a horse jockey, worked in animal control and owned and operated my own wildlife research corporation, gut instinct and common sense go a long way.
What I think people fail to understand is that these large hairy people we call Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yowie, Almast etc., are just that, A Type Of People, and while they do not use guns or modern weapons they can just as effectively harm or kill you if they are crossed.  Not to mention they can do some scary things that make you think twice about why you wish to work among them. Example: Try having a thousand pound, thirteen foot tall screaming hairy, stinking ape looking man charging at you like he is going to run over you an knock you flat. Scares the daylights out of you and you learn to back step really fast and exit the area in a timely fashion.
They have language. Many speak English and understand English when we speak to them here in America and parts of Canada. Much like us they tend to have accents depending on what area of the USA they live in or have encountered us in some fashion. For instance in the Amish parts of Indiana I worked with a group of BF that had the Amish accent and used the words Ye and Thou when speaking to me and my fellow researchers. It took me a bit to understand them, since I am more accustomed to ones in TN slurring their words together and speaking really fast. The three individuals on Ron and Al's recordings have an Irish type accent and while they speak their own language they also speak English, some Spanish, and a few Native American dialects all with the Irish accent. Their thought and speech pattern process is twice if not three times faster than our own, and they accurately read body language. Without listing all the things that make them unique to their kind, let me put it simple, they are like a fire, it is healthy to know when to fear that fire being fueled into a raging inferno.  
Thanks for the interview Janice and best of luck to you in the future. Janice was very easy and nice to deal with,she really don't know me and was very open with me during our email/FB messages setting up the interview.

With lots of forest, past and current reports of sightings of bigfoot, it appears Tennessee was and is home to sasquatch. Tennessee would seem to have everything a sasquatch would need to survive undetected. Deep mountains that are part of protected forest and an ample food and water supply are some of the things that makes it very easy for a clan of these creatures to remain hidden.
There was a lot more info I could have included in this article as there seems to be endless reports of bigfoot activity from the Volunteer state. I hope this gives everyone a good overview of the possibility of sasquatch in Tennessee.

Thanks
Tom

This photo was taken a few days before the one where the 11 year old boy snapped a picture of a possible ufo. This one from Houston,Texas appears to look a lot like the one the young boy took.
Original photo by Felipe V Mendoza
I got a chance to get the story direct from Felipe Mendoza about the photo and here is what he told me about the photo.
"The picture was taken May 19, 2012. My cousins and I were heading back from a hiking trip that we have done earlier in the day.
We were coming down I 45 and I was looking at the skyline of Houston. So I just took a picture and didn't notice the image till later. So I send it to Lupe (Mendoza) to see what he thought about it but didn't tell him what was in the picture. He saw in the image the same thing that I saw. He zoomed in on it and better than I can on my iPhone. It kind a looks like a reflection but the strange thing is there is a disturbance in the clouds. So thought it would be interesting to see what other people think."

Here is a zoom in that TCC did on the possible ufo

Possible ufo or just a reflection?
This could be a UFO or maybe it is just a reflection of some sort. In the original picture there does seem to be some cloud disturbance but it may be marks on the windshield.
Thanks for Lupe & Felipe for sharing this with TCC and our readers.
If anyone has an idea what this is or has seen something similar then please contact us.

Thanks
Tom

A photograph shown to reporters on Tuesday portrayed Poppo walking down a hospital hallway, supported by hospital staff on either side of him.
The man had his left eye removed but doctors are hoping to restore vision in his right eye, which was also severely damaged in the attack.

'He's pleased to report to all of you that he's feeling well, he's eating, he's walking around with physical therapy, he's talking with us,' said Nicholas Namias, a University of Miami trauma surgeon.
A photo released by the hospital shows the upper two-thirds of Poppo's face covered in scabs.
He's missing his nose and both eye sockets were covered, one with gauze and one with what appeared to be a skin graft.
His grey beard was trimmed, leaving a mustache over his upper lip.
Doctors at the hospital said the homeless man also has holes in his chest that may be from bullets fired by the police officer who killed his attacker.

Doctors added that the victim lost his left eye but are trying to save his right eye, which was severely damaged.
Poppo also suffered a brain injury during the attack, like that suffered by a car crash victim, the Herald reported.
Despite these problems, the medical team said Poppo, who has been in the hospital since the attack on May 26, is doing much better.
He has talked about swimming, which he used to enjoy, and he has asked for pizza, orange juice and Italian food.
He's asked for the television to be switched off in his room, except when the Miami Heat basketball games are on, Namias said.
The doctor said Poppo has not once complained about his pain.
'He's really just sort of living in the moment and just wants to talk about routine things,' he said.

Mr Poppo will have to undergo a number of skin grafts to rebuild his face.
Social workers will try to help him find a place to live as he has been homeless for nearly 30 years.
A fund set up by the Jackson Memorial Foundation to assist Poppo has raised $15,000. Poppo also qualifies for Medicaid and Medicare.

'If he doesn't get his vision back then it becomes, is he concerned about how he looks or is it more about how the world sees him? Those are things to think about,' plastic surgeon Wrood Kassira said.
'I've talked to him about reconstruction and he's said we'll take it one day at a time. He's very logical.'
Poppo has been at Jackson Memorial Hospital since he was attacked on May 26 by Rudy Eugene.

Jack Brody UFO photo
On Sunday, May 27, Jack Brody was playing in the garden of his family home in Loughton, when he noticed a tiny silver object glittering in the clear blue sky far above. Jack ran inside, grabbed a camera and took a photograph of the object.
Jack’s father Simon, 39, said: “I got back from a walk and Jack ran up to me and said ‘you will not believe what I got a picture of.
“He pointed at this thing that was so small that you could barely see it. It was up there glimmering in the sun.
“When we zoomed in and looked at the picture closer I said to my friend, who was visiting, ‘you have to come and see this.’ “ “We just could not work out what it was. It is a kind of silver circular thing. It is very odd.
“We have heard some people say that it must be a weather balloon, but the way it moved I just don’t think it could have been.
“When a plane came close to it it was there one minute and the next minute it was not, you could not hear it fly off, you just could not see it again.
“It is funny, committed UFO spotters who spend years trying to get pictures would not be able to get one that is that good.”
Simon also said " I can assure you this is a real picture, we are not only incapable of faking a picture , we would have no need to. We are not claiming aliens we are just showing a picture."

If anyone has an idea what this is please let us know.

Thanks
Tom

Two new distant moons Of Jupiter - S/2010 J 1 (circled) and S/2010 J 2 - were discovered during routine tracking observations of already known satellites in September 2010
Two new moons have been discovered orbiting Jupiter, bringing the planet's total number of known satellites to 67.
And, at just two kilometres in diameter, one of the moons may be Jupiter's smallest known satellite.
The two distant moons - S/2010 J 1 and S/2010 J 2 - were discovered during routine tracking observations of already known satellites in September 2010.
They were then re-observed by scientists several times that autumn.
With Jupiter now having 67 known satellites, the discovery of two tiny moons does not have a large bearing on our understanding of the system.

Their size has been estimated based on their brightness.

S/2010 J 1 is 3km in diametre, while S/2010 J 1 is estimated to be just 2km in diameter.
It is believed that nearly all moons the size of S/2010 J 1 or larger are known.

The video is a little long but keep watching it has an interesting photo or two.


Here is a still frame from the video.

Kind of looks like a bigfoot
Frame capture credit goes to roguefooter off of bigfoot forums
Pretty interesting photo capture. I might fool around with the scream capture later if I feel the need

Thanks

This is a video from 2010. It was filmed in GA. The Kid is pretty excited and from his reaction, they seem to have seen this bigfoot before and were glad to film it.
I have attempted to enhance the footage.

Here is the video

A possible bigfoot sighting was reported to The Crypto Crew a couple of days ago.
The Sighting took place in St.Louis county,MN

The report was sent in by a person who only revealed themselves as Nick .
Date of the sighting was 5/28/2012 in St.Louis county,MN at around 7pm. There were 3 witnesses of the creature for about 10-15 seconds. 
Here is how Nick described the encounter:
"While driving just outside of Ely city limits we saw what looked like a 9 foot tall creature walking up right on two legs, crossing over the high way by Shagwa lake"
According to Nick the creature was very tall,brownish gray and it ran with a limp.
Unfortunately they did not get a photo of the creature. I contacted Nick to see if he would like to do a phone interview but he declined saying "most people would not believe it any way".
His feeling is understandable but we really thank him for sharing his encounter.  The invitation for the phone interview is still open just in case Nick sees this post.
Thanks

Surrounded By Movement In Texas
Lupe Mendoza and the Texas Unified Natural Research Group
By Dorraine Fisher

Cast from TUNRG's recent outing. Photo property of TUNR, no reuse without permission

                        Most of the state of Texas doesn’t top the list for its Bigfoot activity. But east Texas, with its pine forests and thick swamp lands is a great home for the elusive hairy ones. Or at least it is according to Lupe Mendoza, researcher with the group known as Texas Unified Natural Research Group (TUNR) along with the group administrators Brandon Travis and Bob Garrett.
            Early last week, Mendoza and the group traveled to Sam Houston National Forest, approximately 40 miles west of Houston, hiked the area, and set up trail cams along the way, only to find themselves, according to Mendoza, surrounded by mysterious movement in the brush. He claims he heard similar movement in more than one spot leading him to believe there was more than one creature near them. Mendoza says he heard movement to his right hand side that sounded like something on two legs walking away from them.
            Nearby by they found two 15-inch prints, 39 inches heel to toe (stride). They cast the prints and obtained video of some of the movement that Garrett described as a “black human shaped object that seemed to move and then raise up.” Mendoza passed it on to The Crypto Crew for analysis.
            But this activity and the print left the group confident of sasquatch activity in this area of
the Lone Star State, and they vow to keep up with the quest. 
 
TCC-  I have been looking at the video and there does appear to be something dark moving away kind of quickly. I hope to have it completed soon and will send the finding over to TUNR.

Here is the original photo
 
Notice the black object on the upper right
If you will notice there appears to be something in the sky. It's on the upper right of the photo.
Kevin contacted TCC about maybe trying to see what was in the photo. SCP is a good group of people and we have worked with them before...so we gave it a try and below is the zoomed and enhanced photo of the object.
 
What is it?
We still can't say for sure what this object is but it only showed up in one photo, so we do not think it was something on the lens.
 
Here is what Kevin told us about the photo:
 
"Taken at garvin cemetery 5 /29/12, notice the black dot to right side of the upper top. this is the only pic that caught anything, it was not seen at the time the pic was taken, only in review did i see this. and there was no sound."
 
So we have a mystery object that appears to be in the sky.
Thanks to Kevin and SCP for sharing this with us.
 
Thanks
