Or, um, not.

It’s our usual tendency to make stuff bigger than it really is (the reason Occam saw the need for the Razor in the first place).

Whatever this is, it sure as hell can be shot/killed/photographed, and accounts indicate that it’s been all of these and more, particularly SEEN by lots of people.

If the critter does indeed exist, of course, it seems logical to presume that its cryptic behavior stems from its negative experiences with people — just like that of virtually every other animal. This one, being a primate, is just a wee tad smarter, that’s all. And it doesn’t “just pop up all over the world,” because it’s not one individual, which that line clearly implies you think it is; there’s more than one species, living in more than one place. (If, of course, they exist.) Plenty of precedent for that in the animal world, oui?

There’s NO species easier to fool than us, when you get right down to it. It’s all the stuff we think we know that gets in the way of our knowledge.

Excellent, and it just pops up all over the world and cannot be shot/killed/photographed etc.

Simple “answer” that fails with no logic or evidence.

The huge deal is here is that it is more complicated than it appears.

If one were to consider, even briefly, what a Sasquatch would mean to contemporary science, you can quickly see why there might be corporate or governmental interest.

It is easy, also, to understand why the professionals needed in a serious study would be ‘off the grid’ to preserve their careers. Scientists frequently take sabbaticals to pursue unpublished interests.

As well, the nature of the work leaves several ethical doors open. If, for instance, the investigator is found to have ‘collected’ a variety of human there will be ramifications, legal and otherwise. A collected specimen might also become the wholly owned property of an interested party.

What would DNA that is analogous to humans be worth? Consider the element of humans outside of ourselves, unprotected for years by legal definition and what could be done with the raw material.

Cloning, organ farming, vivisection, all can be safely performed in safety if your subject does not officially exist! Why would we brutalize our own brethren? We do so every day to other primates. Even after conversing with Coco we still hunt Gorillas for food. I digress.

The immediate concerns that might spur research in this area are all based on the assumption that the Sasquatch are a people. If they are an ape, they are much less useful. I leave you with some musings; what is the largest impediment to sustained weightlessness? It is the loss of bone density. What if we had access to heavier bones? Sharks do not get cancer, what are Sasquatches immune to? If Sasquatches can see in the dark, why not us? Why not, indeed.

I would gladly comment about the videos, but I haven’t seen them. I heard they were fantastic, but they’ve had them for more than a year and have still not released them, or even shown them to other researchers, so they must not be quite enough to make Patty a footnote afterall.

Comparing the original description of the film, saying there were “several independent corroborations” of its clearity and importance vs. Mr. Kulls’ later post saying it now sounded unimpressive is puzzling, to say the least. Either there were independent corroborations, or there were not. Which is it? That contradiction leads me to wonder if someone was making up any or all of the information that found its way to Mr. Kulls.

If I had to bet, I’d bet nothing more will ever be heard of this.

I truly believe this is a privately funded operation, with the strong possibility that the government is helping it in covering some of the ends up, perhaps even some “bling”. But that’s a stretch with the money part.

In the 60′s the CIA had used Clay Shaw, a big time business magnate to fund operations in Cuba, so it is within the realm of possibility. But again the pro-communist movement in Cuba in the 60′s posed an obvious threat to national security.

But I do not subscribe to ANY conspiracy theory without proof, and I believe I have found at least some circumstantial evidence. But not beyond reasonable doubt.

I am no longer investigating this matter, and an investigation into someone else research was not my intention and creature activity in the area seemed non-existent, at least at the time of my visit. So hopefully the folks there within the next year may come out with some good stuff!

Looking forward to a great 2007! Everyone be safe & healthy!

Sounds a little UFOey to me. Smells of US Government alright.
