The American black bear is the most common and widely distributed bear in North America. (Photo by Alan Bauer.)
The American black bear and how it may relate to sasquatch
by
Waylen Frederick & Thomas Marcum


The American black bear is a large warm blooded mammal that inhabits the forested areas of North America including 32 states, northern Mexico, and Canada. It is found in almost all the same areas where there has been reports of bigfoot.
Adult male black bears can weigh around 350 pounds while females can weigh around 200 pounds. There are some reports of black bears weighing 800 pounds or more and some standing 6 feet to 10 feet tall when standing or walking upright. The life span of an American black bear is normally around 30 years or more in the wild.
Black bears are excellent climbers and in the south may actually den in large trees. Black bears can run in excess of 35 mph for short distances, they have good eyesight and they see in full color, they have great hearing, and an exceptional sense of smell, they are great problem solvers, and are very adept at avoiding human contact.

Black bears are omnivorous which means they eat both meat and plant matter and will eat insects as well, they are opportunistic and will take advantage of any easy meal. There primary diet in the spring time consist of herbs and forbes primarily, but they will eat some small animals as well.
Summer time diet includes soft mast such fruits which include black berries,muscadines, and mushrooms,polk berries and hack berries.

Black Bear eating some berries.
In the fall diet switches to hardwood mast such as acorns,walnuts,hickory nuts, and pecans as well as small animals and roots. Black bears will also search in trash cans looking for a easy snack.
There has been many reports of bears and bigfoot searching through dumpsters and trash cans looking for a meal, as well.
[muscadines - are a grapevine species native to the present-day southeastern United States]
[hardwood mast - referrers to the nut crops]

That old cheeseburger can become a meal for a black bear
Most black bears hibernate in the winter with the exception of the Louisiana black bear which semi hibernates or may not hibernate at all. Some of this deep sleep or lack of it, may be linked to weather conditions and temperatures.  

Black bear populations range around 150,000 in the pacific north west, 200,000 in Alaska, 80,000 in the north, 65,000 in the north east, 20,000 in the south.
So if an area can sustain a large population of black bears, then it is feasible that a small population of sasquatch could also call it home. It would also be safe to assume that black bears and bigfoot would eat many of the same types of food and possibly do the same type of activities. One would think that if a black bear is smart enough to find a shallow stream with fish in it and proceed to catch and eat fish, that a bigfoot, which is thought to be more intelligent that bears, could also do the same thing.

So if you're looking for bigfoot, you might want to know the bear population of the area before heading out.

Bear Tips 
Do's and Don'ts in Bear Country
To avoid encounters with black bears while hiking or camping:

*Keep a clean camp. Put garbage in wildlife-resistant trash containers.
*Store food in double plastic bags and, when possible, place the bags in your vehicle's trunk or in wildlife-resistant food lockers. Double-wrapped food may also be placed in a backpack or other container and hang it from a tree branch at least 10 feet above the ground and 4 feet out from the tree trunk. Never store food in your tent.
*When camping, sleep at least 50 to 100 yards from your cooking area and food storage site.
* Hike in small groups and make your presence known by singing or talking.
*Keep small children close and on trails.

If you come in close contact with a bear:

*Stay calm and avoid direct eye contact, which could elicit a charge. Try to stay upwind and identify yourself as a human by standing up, talking and waving your hands above your head.
*Do not approach the bear, particularly if cubs are present. Give the bear plenty of room.
*If you cannot safely move away from the bear, and the animal does not flee, try to scare it away by clapping your hands or yelling.
*If the bear attacks, fight back aggressively. As a last resort, should the attack continue, protect yourself by curling into a ball or lying on the ground on your stomach and playing dead.

Ok, So I'm just beating around the internet, looking for some UFO stuff, and I was checking out
theobjectreport.com  site. Well they had a picture posted that kind of peeked my interest.
So I checked it out and done some digging on the website it referred me to. I get into a government FTP site, which came with the following strong warnings:
"This US Government computer is for authorized users only. By accessing this system you are consenting to complete monitoring with no expectation of privacy"
Despite the warning and the fear of the MIB, I continued on hoping I could find the photo. I wanted to check the photos before and after the "strange object" one, to see if i could debunk it as a known air craft. The photo after the "strange object" did not contain any thing weird. I think these were taken in 1999 by a satellite , but not 100 percent sure on the year. These photos are in order going down the page from when the object first appeared to the last one showing it.
What follows is the full size pictures and a cut out of the object(about 10-12 pictures).

3/1/2012 video


Unusual things in the California skies -- daytime and nighttime -- have people asking whether UFOs are responsible for what seems like extra air traffic.
Writing in the Laguna Niguel Patch, Debbie Sklar wondered if the town is being visited by space aliens as she looked into recent UFO sightings in the southern portion of the Golden State. After hearing about the recent spate of unusual UFO reports in Laguna Niguel, Sklar said, "I am looking up at the sky a whole lot differently once evening rolls around."
Further north, the city of Fresno offers its own UFO encounters in the form of many video images taken by Robert Thorson. Since 2006, Thorson estimated he has videotaped around 200 strange objects and lights in the sky.
"I started watching the stars a couple hours a night and began to notice some things were flying around. I didn't know what they were -- shooting stars or satellites -- but they seemed to be moving closer and getting brighter," Thorson told The Huffington Post.
Now, before your "Warning! Warning! Hoax! Hoax!" signals go off -- and they probably should at this point -- it's important to know that Thorson is physically disabled, which allows him to spend a great deal of time watching the sky, day and night, with camera always ready.
And he's a regular skywatcher for Sanger Paranormal Society, a group that investigates paranormal claims in the Fresno area.
"One of the reasons why some people don't take Robert seriously is because they think his stuff is either computer-generated or Photoshopped, but all he knows how to do technically is to load the video from his camera to YouTube," said Sanger Paranormal Society founder Jeffrey Gonzalez. "Some people think it's all nonsense and must be a hoax. These armchair quarterback debunkers thrash him because they can't see how a guy like this is videotaping so many things."

"I saw this reddish-colored object above the houses. I thought it might be a helicopter, so I grabbed my camera while the object seemed to be raising up, going higher," Thorson said. "There were a couple times where it got really bright. It's hard to estimate how high it was, but it looked like a glowing saucer. I can normally hear high-flying jets going by most of the time, but this thing didn't make any noise."
Thorson added that he could see some kind of material streaking out of the back of the object, before the whole thing disappeared.

Sasquatch Identity Crisis?

Just Who Are The Hairy Ones Really?

By Dorraine Fisher (TCC Team Member)
 
Just exactly what is a Sasquatch?
 Maybe you don’t believe all the hoopla about Bigfoot being close to a human being and possessing human or even superhuman qualities, but continuing primate research inadvertently suggests otherwise.
Even with all the new evidence pouring in every day, it’s probably safe to say that the mystery of Sasquatch is going to keep us all guessing for a very long time. Although we’ve learned a lot about them (we think) in the past few years, given their obviously superior intelligence, the possibility of anyone becoming a true sasquatch expert is a few years down the road at least. And it leaves us with the question: “Who are the elusive hairy ones? And what can we learn about ourselves from them?”
Many Native American tribes that tell stories of sasquatches refer to the creature as “man” or “people” or “brother” suggesting they believe the creature to be a relative of humans or a fellow human in a slightly different form. But there is always at least some truth in legends, and with all the new physical findings of blood, hair, and skin samples, it’s been suggested in some circles that they may be our closest living relative found to date. Only time and research will tell.
            But there may be a lot we may be able to learn about them now if we start looking in the right places.  And it could be done to a certain degree without securing a living specimen in a cage or a body on the examination table. We can start by taking a long look at the closest living relatives that we know about right now: chimpanzees.
            Chimps share about 97% of our DNA structure, and in studies conducted over a period of years, anthropologists are finding that these cousins of ours are more human in behavior than we ever imagined.
            Professor Richard Wrangham, and anthropologist at Harvard University along with many other researchers like Jane Goodall accumulated nearly 151 years of study of ape behaviors including hierarchy, grooming, relationships, courtships, obtainment of food, etc. And they came to some startling conclusions.
            Researchers found that chimps, as well as other apes, shake their heads in a gesture of “no” and really mean no in the same sense we do. They laugh out loud when tickled, have the ability to pick a face out of a crowd, and when they’re given human toys to play with, choose the toys specific to their gender. Young female apes picked dolls and young males picked the toy trucks.
            They also display a strong sense of morality when treated unfairly and, when they need comfort, choose to eat the junk food instead of other more healthy foods. And chimps honor a kind of “police force” within their groups that make sure all other members of the group follow the rules.
            And ape behaviors and cultures seem to vary from one region of the planet to another. They adapt to different environments and utilize objects and tools in their surroundings slightly different from region to region, much like our human ancestors were said to have adapted to their varying environments. And they teach their offspring the same skills and rituals developing a type of culture that’s unique to apes in that particular area.  Professor Wrangham believed that this was the precursor to the development of the varying, complex cultures of humans around the world.
            So what does this say about us and our hairy counterparts?
            If sasquatches do indeed share a more common DNA structure with humans than these other apes as is theorized, how many more human like traits do they possess? If they are the most intelligent ape second only to humans as we believe, how far apart are we from them on the genetic scale? If we take a long, hard look at the apes we’ve come to know and understand, not very much.*******

New Hampshire
Ok, I was contacted by Jay Willey (not his real name)  and he stated that he thought he had a bigfoot sighting today.   
Here is his encounter:

Jay Willey - "While walking the dog on my road at about about 2:00 pm, I noticed the dog, Midas, acting strangely. I thought there might be coyotes around, since I hear them almost every night. I heard what I thought was a tree knock two times, we kind of  froze, Midas was growling deeply and rather quietly, and I looked at him, he was trembling a lot.
I spoke to him (He's usually very well behaved) but he ignored me and just stared into the woods and shook. I reached down an touched him, he jumped, looked at me, then started looking back out over the marsh and continued to shake.
I looked in the direction he was interested in, and saw nothing at first. I thought I noticed slight movement in one area, so I looked hard at that general area.
At a range of about 100-125 feet, I noticed a figure in the brush, took out my phone and took a picture at as much zoom as the phone would.
After about 30 seconds, and watching the figure move a few inches back and forth, I saw the figure stand upright,I about passed out.
From the distance I was at, it appeared to be about 3 feet across at the shoulders, in the area of 7-8 feet in height. I would estimate 600-750 lbs. The upper body was massive, barrel chest, huge arms, no apparent neck. I noticed a slightly cone-shaped head, and hands that was down past the waist, It looked like the elbows were a bit below the waistline, but hard to tell.
It was at this point that I was frozen as well as my dog, I was trying to compute what I was seeing in rural New Hampshire. It looked at me for just a second and turned away and walked away from me at an alarming speed, considering the terrain. I lost sight of it in 2-3 seconds, and listened for it, I heard some slight rustling of branches which faded to silence. I tried getting a picture of it in motion, but i was shaking at this point.
I took the dog home and returned about an hour later. I was wearing rubber boots due to the standing water I saw, so I walked in towards the area that I saw the figure. It appeared that the water was 12-16 inches deep, so I waded on  into it.
After I made it about 10 feet into the marshy area, I plunged up to my armpits in the cold water. I am a 6 foot-4 inch man.... I was shocked by the depth and temperature of the water, but I waded further towards where the figure was, determined to see what I could find .
I could see where there was grass parted and trampled in the area where this thing was.
However, there didn't appear to be any relief from this depth of  water in that area, and I was concerned about hypothermia, so I left and went home.
Considering the depth of the water, and the fact that I saw this figure stand, and could see from the waist up, I'd say that it may have been 8-9 feet tall to be able to have that much out of this water."
TCC -  This is a very creditable person from what I know of them. With this thing being in the marsh I would guess it was either eating some kind of roots off of water plants or possibly drinking water. 
We have plans of setting up a game cam in the area and hope to have some follow up info.
Now I will post the Pictures and the enhanced versions. (You may have to click the "read more" to see them)

TCC - Once again it is proven that Bob Heironimus  was not the "guy in the suit" in the Patterson film.


Uploaded by on Feb 23, 2012
"Here we explore the difference between our walk and whomever or whatever it was walking in the Patterson Bigfoot Film."
It does make me wonder if a person running would reach the 73 degrees mark?
I do not know who ThinkerThunker is but this seems to be a new approach to looking at the Patterson film. This should also become a learning video for all researchers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An impressive solar flare is heading toward Earth and could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights.

Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center said the sun erupted Tuesday evening and the effects should start smacking Earth late Wednesday night, close to midnight EST. They say it is the biggest in five years and growing.

The magnetic storm has the potential to trip electrical power grids. Its radio emissions can disrupt global positioning systems to make them less accurate. It also could damage satellites. Scientists said communication problems and radiation from the storm will probably force airplanes to avoid flying over the north and south poles. Colorful auroras may be more visible.

Time - Bigfoot Real!
Can We All Relax After Dr. Ketchum’s Results?
by
Dorraine Fisher

It’s no secret in the Sasquatch community that if you dare to enter into the realm of Bigfoot, you enter sensitive territory. You have those who have witnessed the hairy ones first hand. They know what they saw and they certainly don’t like to be called liars, or worse, crazy.  And then you have the journalists, researchers, and photo analysts who simply must scrutinize every piece of evidence that comes their way with the determination of an IRS auditor. But they do so in order to keep the research valid and credible. And they don’t want to be made a fool. All sides must tread lightly. So when Dr. Ketchum comes through with her DNA paper and proves the existence of Sasquatches, hopefully without a shred of doubt left, can we all relax a little?
The answer is yes and no. On one hand, thousands of eye witnesses will be vindicated. No one will be able to call them crazy anymore. Many may still be called liars, but the word “crazy” can be eliminated from the equation. But when its existence is proven and no one’s afraid of being called crazy, many more stories may pour in for researchers to record and analyze. It’s very possible that a lot more people may jump on the Bigfoot bandwagon. And it remains to be seen whether this will be good or bad for the species and the research.
 But on the other hand science will take all this more seriously and all the hard work done by members of the community will be validated. Scientists have been almost completely absent from the community until recently. It’s been all the “hiking boots on the ground” types, the regular Joes and Janes, who’ve walked sometimes dangerous wilderness areas in the dark of night in all kinds of weather conditions, pointing a camera in every direction while often finding nothing, that have made this all possible. It’s all those who’ve tirelessly set up sound recorders and trail cams every day, scanned hundreds of miles of ground for a single footprint or sat crouched for hours under camouflage just to get the right picture that might make the world believe.
  And my guess is that none of this will stop after the results are in. There will still be researchers scanning the woods, and there will probably still be hoaxers out there looking to make a quick buck with their fake photos and videos. All this while science tries to gain its footing on the subject and produce some solid evidence with possibly a Jane Goodall approach.
 But we’ve learned a lot in a short time on this quest. And everyone deserves credit for all they’re hard work. You knew Bigfoot was real the whole time, and you spent your life trying to prove it. And even though it’s a bit tragic that, even after thousands of sightings by credible eye witnesses that told the same stories time and time again, you still had to work like a dog to prove what you already knew.
  But now maybe you can take comfort in the fact that those hard, stressful days are gone for good.
 Maybe now you can at least relax a little in knowing that none of your work or emotional investment
was in vain. You knew it all the time or you wouldn’t have done it.

Bigfoot Witness Interview | Graham Snyder | Ep.3


The Crypto Crew Interview series
 Graham Snyder Ep.3
 Interview conducted by TCC Team Member Jimmy Craze
In this Episode, Graham tells about a couple of friends who had a wild night while camping.

Here is Episode 3

Chupacabras had fangs, claws and wings.


Did a legendary chupacabras kill 35 sheep in the Mexican town of Paracuaro? That's what local citizens want to know as they ponder the mysterious deaths of their farm animals.
According to the UFO Chronicles website, the Mexican state Michoacan's Diario ABC reported that the unfortunate sheep were slain in the wee hours of March 1 with their bodies displaying claw and tooth injuries, especially under the neck.
One man who was looking after the sheep in their pens said he saw the creature responsible for the attacks. He reportedly said it had fangs, claws and wings.
The enclosure where the sheep lived also included cows, horses and pigs, which apparently weren't injured in the attack.
 TCC -  I think this is the first Winged Chupacabra report...at least in 2012. I wonder if this is something new or just some kind of misidentification.

Oetzi the Iceman
New evidence published by Nature magazine leads to some interesting insights into the life, health and lifestyle of the ancient Ice Man found in the Alps - Oetzi. DNA research has been carried out on what must be the most-studied corpse in history and the genome has been sequenced, leading to some startling revelations.
Oetzi, 5,300 years old, was found by mountain hikers in the Italian-Austrian Alps in 1991. Well preserved in ice, the body has provided some important information on pre-historic man. Now, we examine the man himself.
Nature magazine brings the news that the entire DNA sequence of Oetzi the Iceman from Tyrol has been published in Nature Communications and that the study of the genome gives important information as to the iceman's relations: from Sardinia and Corsica.
Oetzi had tattoos, he had tooth cavities, he had hardening of the arteries and before he died, he ate a nice meal of ibex - then he was felled with an arrow in the back. It is not clear whether he died from this or from severe head trauma - either he hit his head when he fell some distance after being shot with the arrow, or else died a violent death when his head was smashed by an assailant.
Albert Zink, head of the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman in Bolzano, Italy, leader of the sequencing study, stated to Nature: "We would like to know as much as possible about his living conditions, about himself and also his cause of death. We really tried to reconstruct a crime scene as much as possible".
The DNA sequence was taken from Oetzi's cellular mitochondria in 2008, and contained mutations which are no longer found today, making experts conclude that Oetzi came from a tribe or people that had since disappeared. The team led by Zink got further information by studying cells taken from a piece of Oetzi's pelvic bone, containing 96% of the Iceman's genome.
This led to the discovery that he had brown eyes, type O blood, was lactose intolerant, was athletic and active and almost certainly had Lyme disease (Tick fever). It also led to the discovery that the mutations in his Y chromosome are most common among men from the Mediterranean Isles of Corsica and Sardinia, where it is known there was a prehistoric civilization, which at one time was present across the European Continent and disappeared, except on those two islands.
Nature quotes Copenhagen University palaeogenomicist Eske Willerslev, who states: "Sardinians are a group that people have considered distinct from other Europeans, and in this regard it would be interesting if they were more widely distributed in the past".

[Via  Pravda.ru ]
 
TCC -  I just wanted to share this because of the DNA talk and it being from Nature Magazine. Nature Magazine has been rumored to be the mag that will publish the DNA findings on the Bigfoot samples. Dr. Ketchum has stated it will not be in Nature Magazine, just for the record.
It's Amazing what details have been found out about the "iceman" and it makes me hopefully about the Bigfoot DNA.
 TCC -  I would think this is some kind of space Junk but still interesting. I wonder if anyone will come forward and claim it.

TCC -  This is an interesting video and seems very believable. I hope to do some kind of analysis of this video in the coming days.
Here is what the descriptions said:
" I wish to thank all the people who helped recover my Dad from the woods at Salt Fork state park on Saturday night. He had gone off alone on his research again and got attacked by something out there.He was very shaken up but other wise he is fine,thank goodness he had his cell phone and was able to use it. As we were leaving the hospital after he got checked out he ask me if I could upload these clips on You Tube for him."

This clip was uploaded by Uploaded by   back in Aug. of 2011.  

It's kind of scary if you think about it ...If a bigfoot decided to attack you theres not  a lot a person could do about it.
I sure would like to know more about this video. It seems by what the man is saying that he may have some pictures or other videos from this area. If so I'd like to see them, so feel free to contact me.

Bigfoot Witness Interview | Graham Snyder | Ep.2

 Graham Snyder Ep.2
 Interview conducted by TCC Team Member Jimmy Craze

Here is Episode 2
Bigfoot watching TV
Does Bigfoot like to watch TV?
Does Bigfoot Like To Watch TV?


By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher
Professional Writer, a nature and wildlife enthusiast who has written for many magazines.
 
Bigfoot researcher, Stan Courtney of stancourtney.com has been doing some great work in his home territory of central Illinois. He works mostly with sound recordings, and he does a lot of his best work right in his own remote back yard. He’s recorded some interesting sounds back there and made some curious observations.
It seems he’s had a couple of reports in his area about some creature looking in a window when the homeowners were watching their favorite TV shows. One couple caught sight of the large, hairy creature peaking in their bedroom window. And another found some very large footprints in a flower bed outside their living room window.  But both families had their TV’s positioned within view and it’s believed they were the main attractant. 
And when Courtney moved into his new house in the country a couple of years ago, he installed some nice extra-large glass doors  in the back so he’d have a great view of his expansive wooded yard and all its wildlife.  But he might not have imagined what this would bring him.
As he sat there every night in his living room watching sitcoms on his big TV, his recorder was doing its job outside the house in the dark yard. It seems that Courtney doesn’t use security lights outside, and his yard is far from any roads or any other lights.
For a long time, he didn’t get much of anything. But he kept the recorder running. And in  November of last year, that began to change. When he listened to some new recordings, he was a bit puzzled.  The first sounded like sad, mournful type of cry, that didn’t sound like any other animal in the area he could identify. But the second and third recording caused great curiosity. The second recording sounded like a laugh; a loud laugh that Courtney believes may be the creature mimicking him when he laughs at the sitcoms on TV.
But the third recording is the most intriguing of all. It sounds much like a muffled radio announcer or TV show. And Courtney believes it may be the creature mimicking what his TV would sound like from the outside of the house from where a creature would be listening.
Now keep in mind that Courtney is an avid hiker and is very well-versed in the sounds of all the local wildlife---and domestic animals. But the one thing that may have cemented this all in his mind is when he was exploring his back yard one day. He found a compressed area of ground, a possible nesting spot, where he believes the creature might have been sleeping. And curiously, he tried it out for himself only to find that, from that spot, he had a great view through his picture window of his own TV.
Now there are some who will speculate and criticize and try to offer any other explanation for these findings. But whatever you might think, Courtney has given real cause to believe that Bigfoot not only likes to watch TV, but he may very well be a pretty talented sound impressionist too. 

You can check out Courtney’s website and listen to Voices In The Woods 1, 2, and 3 here:

SETI  re-launched its website on “Leap Day,” Feb. 29 - Today !
Allowing anyone to join in the quest for intelligent life on other planets.
Because anyone who speaks of UFOs or even “metal boxes found on West Coast beaches” is called “a hoax,” Jill Tarter, director of the Institute’s Center for SETI Research made a rare plea for all citizens of the world to keep an open mind as SETI open’s a portion of its UFO vault of “evidence” that life exists outside of Earth. In turn, this is super news for all who believe in UFOs, and want to join this SETI hunt for aliens; who are believed to be watching us from outer space and also here now on Earth.
 
SETI invites all UFO fans to join the search
In turn, SETI researchers stated in a Feb. 28 NPR report that “citizen UFO hunters” don’t have to be scientists to share their stories of UFO sightings with the SETI website that’s being re-launched this Leap Day 2012 at http://www.seti.org/ And, there’s also SETI Live. That's S-E-T-I-Live.org, state SETI scientists in sharing the good news on NPR.
For instance, the SETI website states: “We need YOU to join our Team! As a non-profit organization, our search for life in the universe is not possible without public support. Becoming a member of our ‘Team’ means you are joining a growing global community who is proactively making the search for answers possible. This is humanity’s search, and we cannot do it alone.”
SETI officials also have told Errol and other Oregon UFO “watchers” that they share their pain to live in a world where online “experts” question savvy and then criticize anything they can see with their own eyes, or touch or smell; as have millions of people who state they’ve had a “close encounter.”
For instance, Errol states “I no longer want to be that person thrown to the lions because I’ve seen UFOs. What we do here at Bray’s Point and Stonefield Beach is a way of living. We pay attention to what’s happening in that night sky; while we fully understand that those sitting back and reading about us online are filtering what they read with, perhaps, a closed mind, because they’re not participating in this search that now has more credibility with SETI scientists welcoming us into the fold. It’s awesome!”

Bray’s Point first in line for SETI Earth team
As blue arms of rain reached down from the clouds over Bray’s Point this Leap Day, Feb. 29, so too did Errol and other Oregon UFO “watchers” jump into action as they hunkered down in their small shed look-out structures that sit on the very edge of the Oregon coast.
“We’re logging on to SETI to be first in line for their invitation to join them as part of SETI Earth Team Bray’s Point, for lack of a better title,” explained Errol as bawling winds slashed and shoved against this hut where the watchers have viewed “many hundreds of UFOs” over Bray’s Point. “Now,” asserts Errol and his group, “We have the ability to tap into the SETI website and share what we know is happening in our part of the world.”
Because the search for intelligent life in the universe is both the No. 1 mission for both NASA and SETI, “we’ve not had those resources because this has long been just the realm of hard science,” explained UFO watcher Errol during an early morning “Leap Day” Huliq interview. “I’m pleased to report to our fellow ufologists that this is no hoax, but a real commitment by SETI scientists to enlist the help of citizens who sited UFOs to share our information with this leading search engine for alien life out there.”
Thus, the massive million-dollar telescopes and those top SETI scientists with their advanced degrees, will now team up with Oregon UFO “watchers” and others who wish to “join in the hunt for aliens both here on Earth and in the heavens” with some assurance that “others” are just as nuts about finding answers to the key question: Are we alone in the universe?

Metal boxes as a metaphor for the search
While SETI officials would not say why they’ve chosen Leap Day 2012 – at a time when the Mayan prophecy states that Dec. 21, 2012 will be the end of the world – as the day to launch this historic endeavor to enlist the world of UFO fans in the search for ET, it’s known that a Leap Year has always been a time when the Earth is rocked with many “strange happenings,” quips Bray’s Point resident Helen who recently became a “ufologist” after finding strange metal boxes scattered around her local beach after a UFO sighting.
Helen explained that “we have lots of visitors who come with telescopes and field glasses to just sit and look up for these UFOs. You don’t really ‘understand’ it all with your brain when it happens because it’s felt more inside as if it’s an old memory.”
In turn, Helen shared her “first UFO sighting at Bray’s Point” recently by saying “the sky was cloudy that day. There was no light from the sky. Someone yelled out, and I remember feeling sort of ill at ease. Then there was this glitter of lights and sounds around us. I tell my family that it was the kind of experience that doesn’t really register until later after you’ve gone inside and later to bed when you’re thinking to yourself ‘what was that?”

Here is what the statement says :
"Fact: This paper has not and will not go to a cryptozoology "journal" of any type. Stringent, skeptical review is necessary for the success of this paper, thus the length of time it is taking to get this out. It would have been out a long time ago if we would have chosen to send it to some obscure journal or some type of crypto journal but I prefer the more difficult path because it makes the paper credible to the scientific community."
 
TCC - So in other words this is not going to be published in anything but some type of scientific journal or magazine...which is a good thing as it will make the efforts much more creditable.
On that note I do want to thank all those who work at any Crypto journal or  magazine or online crypto sites, while your efforts might not be considered "scientific" or you may feel like you get zero credit, I think it has much merit and value to not only me but other people who are interested in the subject. I would think it servers a good purpose to introduce new people into the wonderful world of Cryptozoology.  
 
Thanks
Tom

Should Bigfoot Have Human Rights?
By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher
Bigfoot researchers around the country have been tracking and studying the hairy guys for quite some time now, and they’re coming up with some pretty interesting theories about their behavior. And many details suggest an almost human type of intelligent unmatched my any other primate besides us.  And as new details about his existence come to light in the future, most of us agree he’ll need our consideration and our protection. But as all the new details unfold, we’ll eventually have to ask ourselves, “How much?”
            Lori Marino studies brain and behavioral evolution in marine mammals at Emory University in Atlanta. And she and other researchers involved believe that whales and dolphins, due to their culture and intelligence, should be granted basic human rights. Marino said, “Because of their cultural sophistication, these are enormously vulnerable individuals.” It seems that marine mammals do things like mourn their dead, have a keen sense of fun, display a type of language, and even “talk” in their sleep.
            But what about our big, hairy friends? Those who’ve been lucky enough to have some of kind of encounter with them report all kinds of similar traits. Sound recordings of certain types of howls sound much like they’re in a state of some kind of mourning or distress. Their ability to elude us for centuries while often living right under our noses suggests above-average intelligence, and some very human-like behavior traits like building structures and land marks suggests a type of “culture.”  Some who’ve been lucky enough to have encountered more than one of them in the forest, report their using a type of language to communicate to each other. And it has been suggested by others, though not proven, that they may possibly bury their dead.  And they watch us and study us and they probably know more about us than we do about them.
            But this all begs a question in our minds. How will many animals be regarded by humans in the future as new knowledge about them is revealed? It seems that the lines between human and animal are slowly being blurred.
 Even though a bigfoot reaches upwards of 8 feet tall and up to possibly 600 pounds, certainly doesn’t mean they aren’t vulnerable to humans. Once science proves their existence once and for all, some types of protections will have to be put into place for them.  And if Marino and other scientists can make their point clear to the world about whales and dolphins, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with Bigfoot.

Purple squirrel goes Free!
We may never know what made the purple squirrel of Jersey Shore purple, but experts don't doubt that it really was a squirrel of a different color.
"It's not typical, but it's not impossible," said Harold Cole, a warden with the Pennsylvania Game Commission who investigated the case.
Percy Emert, a resident of the town in central Pennsylvania, said he and his wife caught the squirrel on Sunday in a trap, using peanuts as bait.
"At first I thought somebody around here was playing tricks," he said. The family took pictures of the animal in its cage and posted them on Facebook. Then, on Tuesday, they set the squirrel free.

Now the Purple Squirrel has its own Facebook page with more than 3,800 fans.

The only problem is that beyond the Emerts and their friends, no one actually saw the squirrel or was able to study it. The family did hang onto some of the fur that was left behind in the cage, along with some tail trimmings — and they gave those samples to Cole when he was called to the scene.
Cole said the hairs could be passed along to a lab for an analysis, but the game commission itself won't be pursuing the case any further. As purple as it is, the squirrel doesn't appear to pose a hazard or be suffering from disease.
"The squirrel looks healthy in the picture there, except that he doesn't want to be in that cage," he said.
Cole also doesn't think the Emerts dyed the critter, which would be illegal. But he wouldn't rule out the possibility that someone else may have colored the squirrel previously to keep track of it. In fact, there are several possible explanations for the purpleness.
One is that the squirrel picked up a purple stain in the course of its perambulations. In 2008, a purple squirrel was sighted near a school in England, and experts suggested that the animal got into some discarded containers of printer ink toner. AccuWeather meteorologist Henry Margusity joked that the Pennsylvania squirrel "could have been looking for somewhere warm and fallen into a Port-a-Potty or something similar."
Cole said it's also possible that the squirrel ingested something that lent a purple tinge to the fur — maybe the local pokeberries, maybe an industrial compound, maybe even a food containing purple pigment. The game warden pointed to the example of flamingos, which get their pink or orange color from the food they eat.
Unless the purple squirrel makes a reappearance and gets a scientific going-over, the case will remain up for debate, much like the fabled Minnesota sighting of 1997. In the meantime, Harold Cole and Percy Emert are continuing to field phone calls and press inquiries about the mystery — so much so that Emert's wife, Connie, is sorry that the poor critter was caught in the first place.
"She just wishes we let it go," Percy Emert said.

Appears to have toes
The cigarette pack is 4 inches long making the print around 12 inches from big toe to heel and about 5 inches wide.
There is still some toe definition in this track even though we believe and estimate that the print is 30 day old or more.
It was found in an area crossing a saturated logging road that is about 10 feet wide and this was the only track and it was in the center of the road. So we can guesstimate that the other tracks were out of the roadway, which would mean about a 5 foot stride or more. 
The track was coming from and going back into a dense thicket,which is common along the sides of old logging roads.
We attempted to but were unable to reproduce the track depth,which means that whatever made this track most likely weighted more that us.
13 inch boot beside track
Waylen's brother placed his foot beside the track as seen in the above photo, his boot is 13 inches in size.
There is also what appears to be a mid-tarsal break, which is a little more visible in the first photo.
No dermal ridges were visible in the track but could have been gone due to the track being about 30 days old or more.
This track was found on some farm land that is behind a locked gate and in a remote type area.
There is no public access allow on this property and it is family owned.
This track was originally found on 1/28/2012.

I'm Super Bigfoot !

Is Sasquatch A Super-Human?
By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher

 
With all the rumors swirling around the Bigfoot community about the upcoming results of Dr. Ketchum’s DNA study, the word human keeps coming up.  Is Bigfoot really a type of human, and if so, what should we derive from that?
            All animals were designed by nature to survive in a harsh physical world. And by those standards, our supposed close cousin is a super-human compared to us, as David Claerr has demonstrated in his Yahoo! article Bigfoot Bones:Sasquatch Skeleton Analyzed and Compared To Humans. 
Claerr has some great sources that gave him the opportunity to make some skeletal comparisons, and it would seem that Sasquatch, by virtue of its skeletal structure, is very similar to us---only much better.
            Extra-long hands and arms cement its reputation as an ambush predator as some believe. All it would really need to do is reach out with those long arms and grab its prey. Its superior physical strength would ensure it could surely hold on with no problem.
            The neck vertebrae are shorter and wider and its muscles connect to a very thickly muscled trapezius just below the shoulders, similar to a human body builder.  That would attest to its incredible upper body strength. He really could throw a full-grown tree like he did in that famous episode of The Six Million Dollar Man.
           
 Sasquatch is said to have a slightly less cone-shaped cranium than gorillas, and some sightings 

 sometimes suggest an even more human-shaped head. This could support a stronger        
jaw structure that might explain the possibility of their more varied diet that would enable them to survive on harsher food sources.
            Sasquatch legs are only slightly shorter than a human’s with much larger, stronger joints. It would enable them to walk long distances and sprint quickly when threatened. And their feet are very large and flexible in comparison to the very rigid human foot. This would explain their ability to escape through terrain that would be nearly impossible for a human to navigate.
            Overall, the Sasquatch skeleton seems much like a human skeleton only much better and stronger. He’s perfectly designed to survive in his world while still eluding humans.
So have we as humans lost our edge in the animal kingdom? If Sasquatch is in fact a type of human, will we now be considered an inferior type of human? We can always make the intelligence claim. But a creature that’s managed to stay hidden from us and still live close to us without our knowledge for thousands of years has to be pretty smart too; maybe much smarter than we are by the standards set by nature.
 Now, keep in mind these assessments are hypothetical, but based on the latest scientific findings. Future discoveries will hopefully bring more interesting details to light.

TCC -  I was email the above pictures and the following story, I have included a link for of the story.

"I took three pictures of the pyramid trying to get lightning.
In number one, nothing happened. In number two, nothing happened.
In the third picture is the beam and lightning.” "

- Hector Siliezar, on vacation tour near
Kukulkan Pyramid, Chichen Itza, Yucatan

Jaime Maussan in Mexico City, who said it was a real photograph taken on July 24, 2009, by Hector Siliezar on vacation with his wife Glenda Hernadez and their two girls, Stephanie and Destiny. Hector and Glenda were both born in El Salvador, but Hector moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1986 to sell cars and later to work in receiving and shipping for warehouses. By 1990, Glenda joined Hector as a resident, became a bank teller, gave birth to their daughters and the couple married in 2006.

Three years ago the family was on vacation in the Yucatan and were on a one-day tour of Chichen Itza with a hotel guide. Their tour included the famous Mayan Kukulkan pyramid. Thunder boomed, lightning flashed and rain drops started to fall. The storm excited Hector about getting a photo on his Apple iPhone of lightning next to the pyramid.

Kind of interesting, but I suspect it is a fake...but it has not been proven that way.
