Aside from my Freeman hand cast speculation, the specific thumb movement
appears to me to be another indication that the hand was not a fabrication of
some sort. For certain, the length of the creature's arms is far beyond the
human norm. Such occurs in only one out of 52.5 million people (Glickman,
1998, Toward a Resolution of the Bigfoot Phenomenon, p.15). If the creature
was a fabrication, therefore, an arm extension with a moveable hand (controlled fingers) had to have been
used. This is certainly not impossible, but highly improbable.
The sasquatch “connection” here is associated with what have been determined extinct creatures being
observed long after they have gone. In other words, is it possible the Gigantopithecus and/or some relict
hominid, in the case of the almasty, has actually survived into this century?
JIM BURGTORF offered an explanation for my question regarding why UFOs don’t appear to make any noise.
Jim states that according to Paul Hill in his book, Unconventional Flying Objects, UFOs are not pushed through
air, but are propelled as a unit including everything in them – a kind of “reactionless drive.” The air around the
UFO is, “moved out of the way, no matter what the speed.” Although this goes beyond me somewhat, there’s
definitely something happening, unless UFOs are in reality “something else.” As Jeff Meldrum points out, it is
very odd that supposed superior beings choose to severely limit their contact with us.
I SEE TOM BISCARDI is involved in the finding of a giant human skeleton (see his
website: >http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com<
As I recall there is an old newspaper article that shows a photo of Biscardi and Ivan
Marx after they got photos of an alleged bigfoot splashing around in a creek. We all know
that was just fun stuff.
Anyway, I must admit that Biscardi “got me going” on that Coast to Coast radio
interview last summer. He convinced us that a sasquatch had just been captured, and
described the event in some detail. We then learn that he got the information second hand
and it was all a big put-on. When I later discussed the incident with John Green, he simply
said, “You should have known.” John is equally dubious about Ivan Marx who was
involved in the “cripple foot” track findings.
I think I will sit out the giant skeleton. If there is anything to it, I am sure we will hear
about it through proper channels.
KRISTINE WALLS sent me some comments received on the recent U.S. Discover Channel bigfoot
documentary. I have not see it, but it is apparently pretty bad. Unfortunately, the name of the game
with most TV producers is to appeal to as many people as possible with their silly programs. Most
people get a kick out of “bigfoot bashing,” so this is the group they target. Jay Ingram of the Discovery
Channel in Canada also likes to have fun with this subject, as evidenced by his ridiculous 2002 skit.
Seriously folks, this is all “show business,” it has nothing to do with science or intelligence.
I HAD TO SMILE a little at the closing comments in an Argosy magazine
article written by Odette Tchernine that was published in February 1971.
The article, “Abominable Snowmen Behind the Iron Curtain,” provides a
great summary of the yeti and includes the photo seen here – probably the
first time it was published.
Anyway, I had just watched the Glenn Beck show with all of its Third
World War foreboding. I then read an email from my daughter in England
that ended with, “Look forward to a lovely dinner with you and tales of the
sasquatch, in this decaying, melting and deranged world.” (She is visiting in
May.) So what did Odette say that got me smiling? Here it is:
“I may be verbally flayed for what I am about to say, but perhaps, after
all, we are not meant to discover the whole truth about the Snowman
or Yeti. Perhaps these are the primal rough and secret stock saved by
nature to withstand and survive any final disaster; preserved and hidden as the raw material
for a fresh start in evolution should we finally blow up our so-called civilization.”
I note that Bobbie Short has the entire article on her site if you wish to read it.
