Also known as Big Foot, Sasquatch is described in the just-published “Washington Environmental Atlas” as standing as tall as 12 feet and weighing as much as half a ton, covered with long hair except for face and hands, and having “a distinctive human-like form.” The atlas, which cost $200,000 to put out, offers a map pin pointing all known reports of Sasquatch sightings, and notes that a sample of reputed Sasquatch hair was analyzed by the FBI and found to belong to no known animal.

Pretty darn convenient that particular 'serial 4' went missing, but everything else was available.

The only references I've found to this article in the Washington Star-News are on bigfoot/sasquatch sites like this one:

bigfoot and the FBI

That's secondary information, and the Star-News ceased publication in 1981. All of the sites are quoting an article and I'm unable to find the original article on any other site, including the Internet Archive - or to find the Washington Environmental Atlas referenced in the article.

Supposing the article was actually published in the Star-News in 1975 - what was the reporter's source for the information? How do we know someone didn't just make this up, post it on a bigfoot "research" site where it was picked up by other sites in the bigfoot community - it wouldn't be the first time this sort of fakery has happened?

Because it confirms what he wishes to believe, which I think we can all agree is the hallmark of good science.

So people would lose it, but not you? Are you saying you are not a people? Or are you just saying you are better and superior to other people?

It is because I have already undergone the freak out period, realize what they are and how they are allowed to operate. However, if everyone were to have that realization at the same time and all freak out at the same time (due to some govt broadcast or whatever) it could be a really bad deal, especially considering different people respond differently.

A lot of people don't have any hope in Jesus so it would just be really scary for a lot of people. Maybe it would be a wake up call for people, but of course the govt is not going to tell you what they are only that they exist.

OK we have talked about this for 145 post before this one and today was the day for the hearing; what happened? I cannot find out any information; maybe it was postponed or she never showed up? Maybe BF promised her he would make a surprise appearance in court?

If anybody has any news on this please let us know.

Council, you may call your first witness.

So you have proclaimed yourself better and more aware than everyone else. That must be very comforting for you.
