Please take a moment to read what I have to say. I finished this book carefully. I knew this book was serious when I saw the names on the forward. I must say that I hold certain researchers in extremely high regard for not just their knowledge, but their dedication to gathering data. I am often frustrated by the subject and question of Sasquatch because of the pools of not so good data that have to be gone through to find sincere and credible data. I know that my journey to gain more knowledge in this field will be long and arduous as to be viewed as a credible researcher the work must certainly be put in. I sincerely hope to be included into this network of awesome researchers in time. One of the points Russ makes is that I should have knowledgeable friends and I do hope to gain them. The problem i continually run into is one that was created because of the massive uptick in the interest in this subject which is a natural result of the explosion of TV shows and content creators on YouTube, Facebook and X. This creates access to more data but hinders the development of better proxy data. This has led me to not want visibility on these platforms other than to network with other researchers in the field because as one of the future Bigfoot stepchildren (if I may be so bold), I would not like to ruin my chances at being viewed as a serious researcher by being a clickbait/content machine. I feel that most “researchers” on these platforms have made social media content their full time job. While entertaining, this does nothing to add to the data. One of the most important things I took away from this is that in order to get the data you have to put in the time and this is very hard for citizen scientists sort of like myself due to the constraints of life, job, wife, kids, bills etc. This will always be omnipresent and will limit the time and amount of good data that can come with it. I could spend the rest of my life in the woods and would never have spent as much time in the woods as Russ. I took a load of notes while reading this book and came away with a completely different outlook on how to get better data. I felt a deep sense of relief in knowing that this hard research is being done and not by banging sticks on trees and howling into the night but by gamecam and TIME. Overall personally I wish only to add to the data this way. Another thing I was hesitant to talk and debate about is the WOO factor. This book provides a good perspective on this. I always thought that if there is something that can be viewed as paranormal about Sasquatch then there simply must be some hard science behind this. For instance the purported ability to disappear I feel has to be explained by the type of hair they have coupled with its color and more specifically our eyes and what deficiency they lack in being able to track color and light in different densities. Russ’ sighting makes me think this also. Then here’s this. Woo is truly lazy (sorry y’all). Being creeped out in the woods is not data. By all means gather as much “data” that supports it but I feel that in gathering that “data” will inevitably lead to a scientific explanation that will disprove it. I walked away from this feeling more confident in my ability to study this subject. There is a massive amount of information in this book I feel that one could use this as a code of conduct and practice for research. I have an extremely bright outlook on this subject and my confidence as a researcher and hope to make some serious friends. Russ, I want to thank you for sending me this book. You really could have overlooked me and I’m glad you didn’t. I can’t get the time of day from pretty much anyone. This has changed my outlook completely and I feel very fortunate to live where I live. @bigfoot_doc @CliffBarackman @MattMoneymaker1

@MoldyRobot @Cortex_Zero Oh that’s cool! New rabbit hole. Strange though that Telly Savalas seems to have been hidden from me by the universe until two years ago. I can’t understand how I hadn’t heard of him.

@Cortex_Zero The story fascinates me. It has the entity, a physical ride, a future prediction of the soon deceased baseball player, he says his mom was a witch, and he worked for the State Dept. Maybe some kind of protection spell was placed upon him, gypsy Magick.

I previously made a post discussing a pattern I had been hearing about repeatedly through backchannel conversations over the past two years, with the claims appearing to increase in both frequency and consistency. The core allegation was that non-human intelligence is not merely present in some abstract, distant, or technologically mediated sense, but may be operating among us in a literal and embodied manner. More significantly, the claim suggests the existence of an alleged non-human intelligence structure positioned around key institutional domains, including science, space research, energy, finance, education, religion, and government. This would mean that human beings are living inside of a control architecture situated around the very systems responsible for shaping our knowledge, technological development, belief formation, cultural authority, and civilizational direction. ...how do you disclose that, if you are even aware of it to begin with? #ufox #ufotwitter

By the way, those interested in studying or reading about the UFO phenomenon, visit files.afu.se/Downloads/ It's an incredible and free repository full of scanned books, magazines, audio files etc. and all legit, thanks to the wonderful folks of @AFU_Sweden

Good Morning!!!

'The Forgotten UFO's of the Netherlands'. I wrote this ten years ago, in it I delved into some of the correspondence I received by UFO encounter witnesses. I remember how I loathed the childish lay-out, but here it is. The drawings are from the people who contacted me.

I'll try to go live in the woods tonight! If X doesn't cooperate, I'll share our experience, "if we have any." I'll be live at 10pm EST.

@memizon I always do this thing where I zoom in and pick what book I would grab first. Eberhart.

A glimpse on part of my ufo book collection. It’s interesting to see the gradual shift from 1950s certainty (aliens from space) to 1960s and 70s uncertainty (high strangeness) to 1990s paranoia (alien abductions). And the entry of scholarship in ufology.

@Bugimus Whoa!!! That’s awesome!!! It’s really good to see that. I’ve seen so much good stuff get buried by this platform. I hope this means you are gaining steam. Also congratulations for that.

@Chrisquatch Thanks very much 🙏 That post truly went niche viral. It blew my mind. I got nearly 1,000 new follows since yesterday! I've never seen anything like it before.

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!!!

Chimps—Humans—Bigfoot. A spectrum of the soul. Jane Goodall spoke about the Gombe chimp war that shattered her view of their “gentle” nature—and what it says about our own capacity to choose better. The clip hits hard. These weren’t the gentle vegetarians of popular imagination. They formed raiding parties, ambushed rivals, tore limbs off, beat victims to death, and even cannibalized the fallen. Brutality so extreme it forced her to rethink everything she believed about our closest relatives. The lesson? Never project human virtue onto animals that lack the spiritual capacity to rise above raw carnal instinct. I’ve been thinking about that in light of Bigfoot. Many of us who’ve followed the evidence—thousands of consistent sightings, footprints with dermal ridges, vocalizations that match no known animal—picture them as gentle forest guardians. Wise, benevolent, almost angelic stewards of the wild. We romanticize them as spiritually superior to us messy humans. But what if we’re setting ourselves up for the same rude awakening Goodall got? Here’s what I actually believe, and why it feels truer to me than either extreme. Chimps operate at the lowest rung: pure carnality. No capacity for abstract moral reasoning, no “love thy neighbor,” no conscience shaped by anything higher. They follow fleshly drives—territory, dominance, resources—without restraint. Brutal, yes, but honest in their limitation. Humans sit in the middle, painfully aware of both worlds. Jesus commanded us plainly: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” We can choose godliness. We build hospitals, write symphonies, lay down our lives for strangers. Yet too often we spurn the spirit and chase the flesh—wars, greed, betrayal, “man’s inhumanity to man.” The Bible hammers this: put off the old self, crucify the flesh, seek first the Kingdom. We’re capable of both heights and depths precisely because we have a choice. And then… Bigfoot. I see them as having made the choice we keep fumbling. Evidence from long-term habituaters paints a consistent picture: family units that cooperate without recorded lethal violence among themselves, avoidance of humans unless provoked, an almost reverent relationship with the land. They don’t wage wars. They don’t broadcast dominance through cruelty. They seem to embody the very godliness Scripture calls us toward—contentment, stewardship, quiet strength. Not because they’re “animals who evolved better.” Because something in their nature, or hidden history, allows them to consistently yield to the Love of the Creator and let the Spirit flow through them in a real, lived way—not abstract religiosity, but the practical heartbeat of godliness. That yielding is how any of us climb the ladder: surrendering our own will so something higher can move in its place. We shouldn’t worship them. We should learn from them. Because if their moral and spiritual capacity is closer to saint than sinner, then they may be living proof that the Bible’s vision of higher, more godly living isn’t just possible. It walks among the ancient forests. So no, I don’t think the next breakthrough footage will show Bigfoot ripping apart a rival troop. That would put us right back in chimp territory. Instead, I suspect continued honest personal research will reveal beings who’ve simply listened better to that sacred voice. What do you think? Are we romanticizing Bigfoot the way Goodall once romanticized chimps? Or is there room on the spectrum for a people who’ve learned to yield and let Love lead? I’m curious to hear where your own sightings or research land you on the carnal-to-spiritual scale. Please share your thoughts below 👇 👣🪶 #Bigfoot #JaneGoodall

#ufotwitter #ufohistory Today in UFO History - A Largely Forgotten Abduction May 2, 1968 — Westmoreland, NY 1/Evening. A teenage girl named Shane Kurz allegedly sees a cigar-shaped object in Westmoreland, New York; she had seen it or a similar object two weeks earlier.

While most politicians are busy kissing babies, some mayors are more interested in chasing tennis balls or finding the nearest patch of clover. In several small towns across the US, the local leader is not a human. Instead, it is a four-legged local legend. The Record Holder: Mayor Duke of Cormorant🏆 If we are talking about the longest serving non-human mayor, the title arguably belongs to Duke, a Great Pyrenees who served as the mayor of Cormorant Village, Minnesota. Duke was not just a mascot. He was an institution. He was first elected in 2014 and managed to win four consecutive one-year terms before retiring in 2018. His platform was simple: keeping the peace and accepting treats. He held the office until his passing in 2019, leaving behind a legacy that most human politicians would envy. #Weird #History

Baalbek Lebanon the megalithic marvel of the world well known for is unimaginable construction. Perhaps has had clues staring us in the face for several millennia? How were the blocks laid in place? A closer look may tell the story. Rectangle holes in the stone like a punch card. Did a mechanical device called a Lewis Clamp known for its ability to increase its load as 6x allow man or beast to pull the stones into position?

@covertress Good Morning!!

Good morning, wizards 🍵🪄

Dumbo really gave me a sense of the cruelty that people are capable of when I was very young. I remember being scared for his mom. I remember my mom watching my reactions. I can still feel the way I felt. I really think that set the path for my empathy level I possess. It is extremely difficult for me to not get upset at any type of cruelty.

@Bugimus @Chrisquatch It’s amazing how those early childhood moments stick with us. That scene in Dumbo was truly heartbreaking.

The traveling carnival today is a place of neon lights and fried dough, but its origins are rooted in a much darker theater of exploitation. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the midway was less about mechanical rides and more about the spectacle of the human body. Promoters realized they could turn a massive profit by commodifying biological difference, ushering in the era of the freak show. These exhibitions were built on a foundation of manufactured mystery and genuine cruelty. Individuals with physical disabilities, rare medical conditions, or even just different cultural backgrounds were rebranded as exotic monsters or scientific curiosities. A person with a skin condition became an alligator man, while indigenous people from distant lands were often kidnapped and displayed in cages to portray a false narrative of savagery for a paying audience. The story of the carnival is one of survival and performance under duress. While some performers found a sense of community and financial independence within the troupe, the power dynamic was almost always tilted toward the able-bodied managers who pocketed the gate receipts. These shows relied on the audience’s desire to feel superior by gawking at those deemed other. It was a profitable industry of dehumanization that only began to fade when medical understanding evolved and public taste shifted toward more ethical forms of entertainment. We should remember this history not as a quaint relic, but as a reminder of how easily curiosity can turn into a tool for oppression.

@Bugimus I really enjoyed reading the Todd Standing thread this morning. It is awesome so many people commented on that one. That guy really touches some nerves. It is always a pleasure to read your posts Bugs. I hope your day is as interesting as it is relaxing.

@Chrisquatch Good morning to you, Chris 😃 I wake up every morning with a good pot of organic coffee ☕️. It’s the best time of the day. I’m doing this right now except I’ve got a keyboard on my lap working on the next post ⌨️.

@MidnightFrntr Some good stuff right there.

👁The Nine, the CIA, and the Ontology of Contact Andrija Puharich was a physician, inventor, and parapsychology researcher whose work moved through some of the strangest corridors of Cold War science, intelligence interest, ESP experimentation, alleged channeling, and claimed communication with non-human intelligences. His son, Andy Puharich, recently appeared on @KONCRETE alongside filmmaker Greg Mallozzi, who produced and directed Mind Traveler, a new film exploring Andrija’s life and research. The discussion centers on one of the most controversial dimensions of Puharich’s work: the alleged contact with a group of intelligences known as “The Nine.” According to Andy, these entities were not merely described as spirits, aliens, or symbolic archetypes. They were framed as something far more ontologically disruptive: intelligences associated with fundamental forces, cosmological governance, and a structure of reality that apparently terrified elements within the CIA. Whether one views “The Nine” as actual non-human intelligences, psychological constructs, channeled archetypes, or some unknown interface between consciousness and external agency, the historical pattern is difficult to ignore. Puharich’s work existed in the same broad ecosystem that later produced serious intelligence interest in remote viewing, anomalous cognition, telepathy, psychotronics, altered states, and the possibility that consciousness itself may be an operational domain. That would explain why this subject has always seemed to bleed across categories: UFOs, psi, channeling, prophecy, synchronicity, religious experience, and intelligence operations. It goes to show just how little we really understand about anything. #ufox #ufotwitter
