Somehow, photo evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot has completely disappeared since everyone has a high resolution camera in their pocket.

Sightings have gone up, not down: https://www.statista.com/chart/8452/ufo-sightings-are-at-record-heights/
That says it peaked in 2014 though.
Good point
Not at all, it's mostly due to how easy it is to fake now. There are still lots of sightings, especially of UFOs but very rarely do they go "viral". And the vast majority are pretty easily explained which happens a ton with both new and old ones. But then there are others where all we can do is go "huh, that's weird".
I'm far from a conspiracist but there are things that are just so odd that it's hard to explain. Doesn't mean it's aliens though, obviously. And as we can't just go back in time to discover what it was there's nothing to do about it.
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.
If Sasquatch are real animals they're almost certainly extinct now.
The part of the story Cleetus didn't share
I used to be big into the woo woo conspiracy theory stuff thanks to shows on cable networks. So much so my uncle bought me the Time-Life books series about stuff like Sasquatch and ufos.
What snapped me out of it was a show about ley lines and how they hold power and mystery. They had on an international expert on ley lines who was… my school bus driver.
Almost 30 years later he’s still driving a bus, and will tell anyone who asks about his five minutes of fame.
But if those lines held that kind of power I think he’d have retired by now.
the History Channel...a name that with each passing day means less and less
I apologize for the youtube clip.
Jump to 1:30 if needed
"Ancient aliens" would definitely win me a game of Don't Get Me Started. And I'd get started with how it's all Carl Sagan's fault.
And I'm so conflicted because Stargate is one of my favorite franchises and is completely based on that racist bullshit. As is Battlestar Galactica. And Pumaman. And probably a lot of Star Trek episodes. Including the really racist one where Space Africa tried to buy Tasha Yar.
BTW if you like that stuff check out Miniminuteman or Decoding the Unknown on YT. They're totally googledebonkers.
(And also, don't get me started on Paul Bennewitz.)

Okay, for every Sasquatch believer, what does it do for you? Like, how would it change your life one way or another? It would just be another living being that's been hunted to extinction/displaced by human development, it would just be sad more than exciting for me... And do any of you believe in the existence of the Creator?

Name one such documentary or you're making this up.
... you got me
I never actually watched one of these documentaries I just reposted a meme 😔
What's the idea of deliberately misrepresenting the reports??

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.
Literally every episode of Mountain Monsters.
Someone from the electrical company who was fixing my heater informed me that it’s pronounced Sass quaa and not Sass quatch. He and his friends went on Sasquatch hunts and he gave me some good hiking recs. I haven’t been able to find his pronunciation elsewhere so I thought someone else might want to carry this important information with them.
It's actually pronounced Samsquamch
There's dozens of natuve names for it.
I remember back in the 80s when people said the same thing about the giant and collasal squids.
In the 2000s i watched a lot of stuff about UFO's on tv at night. I didn't really believe the stuff was true, but when i was laying in bed, i often thought to myself, even if the chance is very slim, and there are a lot of people, there is that very slim chance that they are gonna kidnap me and whatever.
A few years later i suddenly thought: wait, the thing that all of these witnesses have in common is that they are all american and have a 5th grade education.
If UFO witnesses are uneducated, then why do a bunch of them get hired as astronauts?
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.
