Cool item.

Back about 2 weeks or so ago, I was searching on ebay for me a bigfoot t-shirt because all I really have is the TCC ones. While doing some searches I ran across an unusual bigfoot item. It was a homemade, hand written and stapled together bigfoot book. It only contained 36 pages and has pictures that were ran off on a printer and pasted into the book. The book documents a family's Bigfoot sightings and their own efforts at researching the creature and finding evidence.

Needless to say, I actually purchased the unusual item and now have it in my collection. I thought  I would share some of it with our readers and supporters.






Here is a page from the book. Under the photo it says "the landlord's cattle fencer. I saw a bigoot step right over the fence." The book has several photos of "nest" and even some pictures of  tracks and food gifts left out.











Here is another page and if you click on the picture you should be able to read what is written above the photo. I have to say, I have enjoyed the little book. It is pretty good reading and I like the fact it is unique. 









 

The very back of the book is filled with questions. Questions that are attempted to be answered in the book.

This all happened in the fall of 2001 in western Kentucky.
Best I can make out the book was written by The Zion Family.

Towards the end of the book they talk about UFO over the cattle fields and mutilations.

They also talk about some other books they written that was sold or published.



I have never heard about this family or this Bigfoot book but I have enjoyed it and will add it out my small archive of Bigfoot stuff.

I just wanted to share this weird little find I stumbled upon. If anyone has more information about this family or these reports, I'd be glad to hear about them.

Thanks

I got this sighting report from Bigfoot researcher Jay Haas a few days ago. As some you my know, I recently did an interview with Jay. You can read that interview by Clicking Here!

On the map above I have used the color yellow to indicate the creek and the color blue to indicate the 275th ave road. Both the road and creek continue north on the picture, this sighting took place somewhere along the road.

Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Jay Haas
Email Address: On File
State: Iowa
County: lee
Date of Sighting: august 27, 2000
Time of Day: nite.full low bright moon
Nearest Town: Sandusky Iowa
Length of Sighting: 3 minutes
How many Witnesses: 2 others (3 total)
Any Photos/Videos: Possible clan pic taken at exact same location in 2007
Here is the photo Jay shared:


Describe sighting in detail:
At approximately 12:30 am, 2 friends and I arrived at the lamalees creek on county road 275th avenue. We parked on the left side of the road, facing northwest.
We stopped to relieve ourselves and were then standing next to my car, in between the car and the side of the road talking for about 20 minutes. When we all heard a limb snap very close to the car from the wooded area next to the car. All of us heard it.We stopped talking for a few moments wondering what it was. Our conversation resumed and shortly after something small landed on the hood of the car. I was closest and turned my head and watched it slide off the hood on to the ground. I don't remember what it was. A stick, maybe, the car was parked under a over hanging tree we still didn't think much of it.

It was a nice nite with a very bright low hanging moon. Everything had a blueish tint to it. I told my two friends lets walk down to the creek{lamalees} which was behind us, 60 feet. On both sides of the creek are 2 abandoned rock quarries, one dating to at least 1900, the other, 30years later. A truss bridge with wooden planks used to bridge the creek, removed, it is now a convect concrete dip, with 3 large pipes running under it. In high water, 4 feet, it flows over the concrete. I told the guys there were craw fish on the east side of it and a rock shelve like water fall we should go check out.

We crossed the road directly behind my car and were walking on the opposite side of the road to the creek crossing. In a single file line I was the last, and at the rear as we walked. We began to hear splashing in the water, to our right as we approached .Suddenly my 2 friends stopped in their tracks. My view was blocked by them, still hearing the splashing in the creek getting closer, I walked to my left, and around to the front of both friends to see what was making the splashing. I observed first a very tall upright figure walking with its arms and hands to its sides, the water was probably between its knee and ankles deep. It was crossing our path walking directly to our right coming closer. I noticed the next thing is it appeared to have no neck. It was black in color. I noticed it had very long arms that were kept to its side. It was probably with in 40 feet of us, almost directly in front to our right almost ready to step up on to the concrete convex pad of the bridge when it saw us.

The moon lit it up, overhead, it swung its head and its eyes glowed red, all in one motion, it did and about face, like a soldier and it walked back the way it came down the creek. My 2 friends ran to the car, and were yelling lets Go! I couldn't. I walked down to the concrete pad and stood on the edge with my lighter above my head flicking it. I don't remember seeing the eyes again, but I could see its silhouette as it stood 100 feet down the creek along a tall rock shelf which is the edge of the creek. It stood there again, like a soldier, hands to its side, stomping its feet back and forth in the water as it stood facing, and watching me. I finally went to the car and we left.

-End Report-

A big thanks to Jay for sharing his sighting. I have now heard several reports of Bigfoot being in creeks and streams.

Thanks

About a month or so ago I was contacted again by producers for the hit TV show Finding Bigfoot.
They were interested in reports that we had taken from the New Hampshire area.

I was able to provide a good sum of information and pointed out we had a TCC team member in NH.

After it was all said and done Team member Jason Morse and one of our witnesses was invited to the town hall meeting.

After the meeting, Jason and said witness was invited back the next day. We can not comment any further on filming or anything, but we can share some photos and hear what Jason had to say about the experience.

Here is what Jason had to say:

 

".....the whole cast and crew were nothing but friendly and polite. Cliff was even nicer and more genuine in person, Ranae was funny, super nice........"


Jason with Cliff Barackman.

Back in 2014, I did an interview with Cliff. He was super nice. Check out the interview by Clicking Here!











Jason with Renae. Jason had this to say "......Both he (Cliff) and Ranae were really awesome."











 

Here is Jason with Matt Moneymaker.  Jason had this to say about Matt "...........Matt was really a nice guy"


I think sometimes Matt gets a little bit of a bad rap but he really has provided a lot information via the BFRO website.











And no visit with the cast of Finding Bigfoot would be complete without everyone's favorite member, BoBo.

Jason said ".... Bobo was ..... nice as well.."


Jason also had this to say "....In fact, all the cast knew about us (TCC), which was cool."











So, in the end Jason had a great time and I'm glad he was there to represent our Team.
We have no idea if Jason will actually make it on TV or not or if we will even be mentioned in any way but it was a good experience nonetheless. 

I can only hope the information our team provided is useful and that it adds value to the Finding Bigfoot show. We of course can not talk about the details of the show due to NDA but of course we think it has the potential to be the best one so far. (lol)

Thanks to the producers and cast of Finding Bigfoot for showing us respect and a good time.


Thanks

Are Bigfoot dying off?

The other night several of us were engaged in a conversation on Facebook about stick structures and whether or not Bigfoot makes them. Of course, most researchers who have done any research or investigated a real Bigfoot sighting will tell you that Bigfoot does in fact make stick formations, but of course not every broken limb or arch is created by a Bigfoot.

But this short article is not about stick formations but about the population of Bigfoot.

During our conversation about stick formations, one person made a statement to the effect that Bigfoot was dying out and the population was dwindling down. He went on to say that there are NO Bigfoot in the woods in his part of Ohio. He even said you would need hundreds of Bigfoot in an area to have a good breeding population.

Area 51

Area 51 has remained a mysterious place for many years now, with the government only in recent years acknowledging it's existence. The first public photo of  Area 51 was from a Soviet satellite photograph that was published in 1988 by Popular Science magazine.

The idea of extraterrestrials and crashed alien spaceships have long been rumored to be at this super secret base. Strange lights and crafts in the night sky have only fueled the idea of UFOs at the base.

But over the years there has been several military achievements that came from Area 51.
Lets look at a few:

- U-2 Spy Plane: This plane can fly at altitudes of 70,000 feet. It was/is used to spy on foreign countries. The U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", was introduced in 1957 and provided intelligence in all weather conditionals. Early versions of the U-2 were involved in several events through the Cold War, being flown over the Soviet Union, China,Vietnam, and Cuba. The U-2 is currently still listed as in service.   



- A-12 OXCART: A wide, disc-like fuselage made of shiny titanium with speeds close to Mach 3 (2,300 miles per hour). The shape of the aircraft led many who seen it to think it was a UFO. The A-12 was introduced in 1967 but retired in 1968. It is currently listed as retired but there is a variant of the craft, the YF-12. The A-12 was basically developed into the SR-71 Blackbird .




- SR-71 Blackbird: The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" is a long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft that was operated by the United States Air Force. It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division. The SR-71 was introduced in 1966 and retired in 1998. It could fly at altitudes of 90,000 feet and it basically out raced any threats from missile. 



With the above listed aircraft and the advances of flight one might ask "how did we make such a big leap in a short time?"

This seemingly big leap in technology creates even more speculation about UFOs and the reverse engineering claims made by former Area 51 employee Robert Lazar.

So, could there be alien spacecraft and dead aliens in Area 51?

We may never know the full truth to that question, but one thing for sure, the speculation will continue and investigators will continue to look for clues as to what is really going on in Area 51.

While this may be of no interest to some people, I find the Roswell crash noteworthy, if nothing else for the secrecy that surrounds it.

So I wanted to share the Roswell timeline and some other things about the event. For years this mystery has continued to draw interest from the general public and numerous investigators.

The book Witness to Roswell is considered to be the closes thing to the actual truth that we will ever know. I hope to add it to my collection at some point.

- Roswell Timeline -

- July 4, 1947, at about 11:50pm
Mac Brazel, rancher on the Foster ranch (75 miles NW of Roswell), heard a loud noise, different from thunder.
Two nuns at St. Mary's Hospital in Roswell saw what they believed was an airplane crash. The tower at the base tracked and reported a "descending flash" that they tracked on radar.

- July 5
Brazel was routinely riding/working the ranch property with his neighbor's son Dee Proctor ( age 7) and discovered the debris field 300 hundred yards wide and 3/4 of a mile long. He picked up a sackful of the "stuff."

- July 6
Brazel takes his sackful of stuff to Sheriff Wilcox in Roswell. Wilcox calls Intelligence Officer Jesse Marcel at the base and Marcel comes into town to investigate. Marcel decides to follow Brazel back to the ranch and they stay in a cabin that night. 

- July 7
Brazel and Marcel investigate the debris site on the ranch. Marcel stops at his house and shows his son (age 11, Jesse Jr.) some of the stuff. Marcel shows the stuff to his boss, Col. Blanchard.
Glenn Dennis gets a call from RAAF about the number of child-size caskets he has in stock, and when could he get more; the base also called other times on how to preserve bodies that had been exposed to the weather - strictly for future reference. Glenn Dennis took an airman who had been riding on a motorcycle and hit a cattle truck to the base hospital and saw strange stuff in the back of ambulances.
Glenn went into the hospital and saw his nurse friend who said to get out of there immediately. He was escorted out of there by the military, with threats to his life.

- July 8
Col. Blanchard, head of RAAF (Roswell Army Airfield), told his PR officer, Lt. Walter Haut, to issue the press release (2 pm) about the UFO recovery. The military philosophy was to inform the public that the craft was not there anymore so the public would not attempt to explore the Brazel site.
Marcel takes some of the debris to Ft. Worth to Gen. Ramey. Ramey spreads the debris on the floor of his office, tells Marcel to step out of the room for something, and when Marcel returns, the debris has been replaced with weather balloon debris. Ramey tell Marcel not to speak and the disclaimer photo is shot (4 pm, for the July 9 newspapers). 
During the period of July 9-12, Brazel is held by the military so they could "inspire" him to modify his story to that of a crashed weather balloon. Brazel died remaining silent on this event.
Glenn Dennis met the nurse (per appointment) and she drew what she saw - big eyed alien - on the examining table; she was taking notes. She was transferred the next day to England and was declared dead soon after that (by the military).

- July 9
Gen. Ramey issues a press release to the AP that the saucer story is just a weather balloon. "Pappy" Henderson, pilot, flies the alien bodies (that he saw) from RAAF to 1. Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH or 2. Denver, CO or 3. Ft. Worth Tx.

- End Roswell Timeline -


Over the years the mystery of what really happened in Roswell on July 7, 1947 has spawned many books, TV episodes, several movies, and some documentaries.

The documentary Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction which was hosted by Jonathan Frakes, really got people debating the footage of the supposed alien and the crash in general. In that documentary, there was an alien being autopsied and it was supposedly the real deal and found footage. I can remember when this was being hyped and everyone was busting at the seams wanting to watch it. I can remember watching it back then and over the years I have watched it many other times.

In 2011 a movie was released titled Alien Autopsy and it had the star power of Bill Pullman. It supposedly was based on the true events of the real Alien Autopsy footage and the two guys who found it. To me, the film more or less played as a parody but was somewhat intriguing.

As the years rolled by, I was satisfied in my mind that something unusual happened in Roswell and that there were efforts to cover it up.

I even read recently that there is now some more possible photographs that have surfaced from the Roswell crash.

In the end, we may never know the full story of what happened in Roswell but at least people are still digging and looking for answers.

Thanks

Does this photo show a gorilla type creature?

I got the follow report, along with the above photo submitted to me on April 1st. The photo was sent later that day. Please read after the report to see our conclusion about the photo.

- Start Report -

Name: Karla
Email Address: on file
State: UK
County: Manchester
Date of Sighting:
Time of Day:
Nearest Town: Salford
Length of Sighting:
How many Witnesses:
Any Photos/Videos: yes
Describe sighting in detail: 
Dear whom it may concern. I was recently clearing out a cupboard of my mother in law and it contained lots of old pictures and stuff. Well we came across an odd picture in an envelope with just the world gorilla written on it.
We looked at the picture and it is old and has the words oakwood park 1937 written on it in black ink. It is an old picture and shows a park local to our area called Oakwood in Manchester. Its hard to see but there is an animal on it that looks like an ape.
Do you think this could have escaped? I know you lot are into these weird animals and bigfoots so thought you may be interested in seeing this picture. It is very odd.

- End Report -

When I had initially gotten the report (without the photo) it sounded as if it had some real potential.
I ask if they could send me a copy of the photo via email or message and they quickly did.

Once I got the photo and looked at it I felt as if the photo itself was a fake and this report was nothing more that an attempt at an Aprils Fools joke.

But giving the benefit of the doubt I took the photo and conducted some test on it. I did not stop there as I also let team member Greg Champy have a go at it.    

Greg pointed out how the writing looked more like a font instead of actual ink writing. This was also what I thought but I did not tell Greg, as I wanted him to come to his on conclusion.

Here is a zoom on the writing.
Greg has this to say:
"From the bottom of the first a...a line drawn beneath the second at the same intersection creates a font baseline. The k's are exactly alike and overhang the baseline exactly the same."

Greg went on to say: " The writing has to be a font because the a, k, and o are exactly the same. Nobody writes that precisely."

Myself and Greg also wondered if the picture itself could be a still frame from some old movie.

In the end we both reached the same conclusion that this photo was a fake and possibly some type of photoshop.  As for the picture looking old, there are several filters that can be applied to photos to make them look old.

In my opinion, I think this report was most likely submitted in an attempt to get me to post what amounts to an Aprils Fools joke. I guess they thought I would just run with it. Then again maybe the report is true but the photo they found was some sort of joke or the zoo was in town that day.

Sadly for us in the cryptozoology field we face this type of thing almost on a daily basis. Its even worse on April 1st. 

I'm not trying to be rude towards Karla, as she could be telling her part honestly and just be looking for answers, but the photo is most likely a forgery and that just raises a red flag.

Thanks
