Im not sure fingerprinting type work can be peer reviewed...who would review it, another cop?


Doesnt it seem strange, he takes a new position, promoting his Sasquatch claims...when it will discredit his lifes work in the process! What is the point of him doing such a thing? Its not like there is a pile of money in Sasquatch research!

I don't have any obligation to trucking since I retired. Why would he? You deal with the cards you are dealt at that moment in time.

As far as peer review: Every courtroom has experts representing both the prosecution and the defense. That includes fingerprint analysis. Which one is right and which one is wrong? The jury is the ultimate judge and they do not chose always because of the credentials of the experts. The jury does look at the evidence to see which side is telling the truth.

Juries normally factor in someones credibility in their field of work/study...


Ive brought this up before...someones 'good name' (their credibility in their field) is VERY VERY important to maintain, all I can say, this guy must have felt these prints were the real deal, its not normal for such an expert to put their credibility on the line...especially over Sasquatch existence!

Supposedly he studied three and two of the three were questionable. The one that was not an artist could reproduce a copy good enough to fool the experts. Cast are poor evidence. Then when you combine all the videos and still pictures you have they can all be debated. So you are back to square one and campfire stories!

Of course it doesn't mean anything! And that is what you are left with!

Haha. I've been retired for about 10 years now, and I'll be darned if I could design a launch vehicle now. Nah, you're right - you don't lose the ability to think when you retire, but you might not keep up with technology as well as when you were working.

I think the existence of bigfoot is a lot more possible and believable than the Corey Goode ramblings.

People never think about the fact that most people will say anything for money, especially when retired and they aren’t making as much as they used to.

If I’m on a fixed income, and someone throws 1K at me, sure, big foot exists, I seen him with my own eyes and his footprint is 100% legit.

See how easy that is? Even if no money is exchanged, some people are just bored and enjoy spinning everyone up.

With that said, yes, some people are being genuine. But as someone completely removed from the situation and just reading an article, it’s impossible to know who’s legit and who’s not.

IDK, I wouldnt put ANYTHING past our Govt!!


When you consider how MANY people are out there today working full time and paying income taxes every year...Govt is raking in A LOT of money...and the general public does not get to see the 'black budget' money, so we have no idea what the dollar figure is they have to play with!


The thing I dont get about Sasquatch (and Dogman), LOTS of people go to the places where sightings are reported and see nothing unusual at all!! Sightings of these creatures are rare to begin with...but how is it, this many people stomping all over the wilderness and only .005% see one?!
