all we can do is go “huh, that’s weird”.

There’s so much more you can do:

• Deny it ever happened
• Insult the socio-economic status of the witnesses
• Claim there was only one witness even when there were multiple
• Accuse them of taking hallucinogenics, even when they were with their family/at work in the middle of the day
• Confabulate new psychiatric disorders, like “sudden mass hallucination with no prior history”
• etc.

the thing that all of these witnesses have in common is that they are all american and have a 5th grade education.

why do the True Believers keep posting such easily debunked claims? It’s not just da poorz who see UFOs, it’s pilots, police, people from all walks of life. Two people have seen UFOs with a job called President of the USA (namely Reagan and Carter).

The usual tiresome “nothing ever happens except in the USA!” thing is against the pinned post at the top of this comm. Two that come to mind are this in Iran and this in Zimbabwe. In Brazil, pilots alone report dozens of annual sightings.

Why do yanks gotta act like they own EVERYTHING even the UFO phenomenon?

refuse to read reports correctly.

Enlighten us, then. Which reports have you read correctly?

Yes, you have a nice day. In addition, death to America.

Yes, people will research everything, human curiosity is our finest trait.

https://bfro.net/ seems more up-to-date.

For me, people who are eager to show their contempt for any sort of non-mainstream theory are probably trying to get approval out of it. They want people to think they’re sensible, respectable, rational, without having to go to the trouble of actually reasoning.

Just look up the orthodox belief, and tell everybody you believe it without question, and mock anyone who ever questions it. That makes you rational. In this case, call them drug-addicts.

OP even quickly admitted he’d falsified/misrepresented the claims. But that makes him rational, because only loonies question what they’re told about Bigfoot.

Easy to see what they’re getting out of it.

and the same question for deniers

What’s the idea of deliberately misrepresenting the reports??

“There were three witnesses total, including myself. All three of us were U.S. Marines serving as non-commissioned officers at the time… The creature was large, approximately 8+ feet in height with a large body, far larger than a person, and its proportions and movement did not resemble a human.”

Account of Incident: Husband and wife were fishing on the Lewis river, coming downstream about 4:30 p.m. when they noticed a large object like a tree trunk close to the water, but a considerable distance from them. As they approached it started to move, entering the bush with big strides. Tracks were later found by Jim Erion a few hundred yards downstream. They showed under the water and came up onto a sandy beach. In the computer report the husband gave the distance as a quarter mile, while a newspaper report quoted the wife as saying it was 100 feet.

Account of Incident: Returning from town to a park service campsite at the base of Lewiston River dam about 10 p.m., Steven and Heller James found their tent knocked over and zipped open and their possessions scattered. Packing up to leave, Heller saw movement about 15 feet from her in front of their car. A brown creature then stood up and walked away towards the river’s edge. They came back in daylight and determined from the height of a tree branch where it had been that it was very tall (photo of Steven). Ground was too hard for tracks, but they found several a quarter mile away where it had come down to the paved road. These were photographed. A clear print near the asphalt sank an each deep where James, 150 lb., left no trace. Photo’s poor, but suggest about 15" x 6", and height about 8 Ft.

Account of Incident: Couple were camping with a tent on the beach below the bluff at Winema church camp. In bright moonlight they saw a dark figure walking on two legs from the south up the beach, apparently beachcombing. They noticed that its motion was very smooth, head not bobbing up and down as it walked, and that it appeared very large and came very fast. It went back south out of sight and they walked over to look at its tracks in the sand, then saw it returning. It approached very quickly but showing no sign of noticing them. They ran away, the woman first. The man let it come within about 50 feet. Height estimated 8 1/2 feet. Tracks in dry sand were photographed the next day, they were shapeless, about 25" by 10", far deeper than human tracks. Each pace was 65 to 70", and the width between the prints was about 18".

Account of Incident: Several residents of the Nez Perce Indian Reserve saw a large creature walking in a plowed field on a steep slope Southwest of the Nez Perce National Historical Park visitor center at Spalding about 6.30 in the evening. Becky Johnson, Denita Higheagle and Sue Buchel saw it from the visitor center, at a half mile distance, too big and dark to be a man. Tony Arthur and two others drove closer and saw it crouched behind some bushes at the edge of the field, about 100 yards away. He estimated height at 7 feet, hair dark, long and shaggy. There were tracks in the field, about 13 inches long, but indistinct. Stories of further sightings circulated afterwards.

There’s dozens of natuve names for it.

Name one such documentary or you’re making this up.
