Getting Blasé about Bigfoot

Are researchers getting blasé about Bigfoot sightings? Another report of a hairy, bipedal creature strolling across the road… yawn. Boredom might explain the explosion in researchers and other groups offering so-called expeditions that are really glorified vacations. Instances of Bigfoot engaging in more daring behavior, such as shaking cars or chasing people, are rare these days. How then do you keep people interested not only in Bigfoot but in paying you for the privilege of joining your group? Offer “expeditions.”

I won’t harp on this as I have done in the past. If people want to fork over their hard-earned money for a Bigfoot-themed vacation, that’s their call. I hope they have a good time. Calling it research… well, that’s another story. The main issue here is have Bigfoot sightings gotten boring. I say no.

I do tire of the hoaxes, and of the snooty attitudes exhibited by many researchers. The real problem with Bigfoot research today is elitism.

Revisiting the Zamora UFO Sighting

In 1964 police officer Lonnie Zamora witnessed a strange craft with two beings standing outside it. His sighting “stirred an Air Force investigation, subsequent sightings almost daily in other parts of the country and the declaration by an official of the International Lunar Society that earth again had been visited from another world.” Zamora passed away on November 9.
