This is the subject that really creeped me out when I was a kid. But it keeps rearing it’s ugly head. You may recall the book I just reviewed, My Brother is a Hairy Man,which suggested, on the basis of channeled contact with a gray alien named Maez ,that bigfoot has an intimate relationship with UFOs. And maybe you remember the economists who last year discovered a statistical link between the states most likely to have UFO sightings and bigfoot sightings. Too, you may remember that Henry Franzoni had a very dramatic UFO sighting in the same area he had seen a bigfoot (though not at the same time). Also, I know that there is a book forthcoming from Stan Gordon that will discuss the link between bigfoot and UFOs. So there’s a lot of bigfoot/UFO connections coming across the airwaves since September.

Now here’s a link to a blog post on Greg Bishop’s site UFOMystic, in which Bishop discusses bigfoot activity in an area well known to be highly active with UFOs too.

I recently described my adventures at the Dulce Underground Base Conference and how we visited Hoyt Velardeʼs ranch to film a segment for a DVD. This is what Velarde told us:

He has found droppings that are not from any known animal in the area.
He has found footprints and even handprints in soft ground.
He and others have heard howls and screams.
He and others have found large “nests” or sleeping areas that are not like other animalsʼ in the area.
Heʼs seen it personally on two occasions.
People have had rocks thrown at them from areas of thickets and dense brush.

It seems that Bigfoot-type creatures are seen regularly and have been in certain areas for centuries, but seem to come and go in some UFO flap areas. Now, if it turns out that bigfoot and UFOs really are intimately linked I will be disappointed. Because that would mean that our world was just a little less creative and cool than I thought it was. All the weird comes from one place. B O R I N G ! Still, you go out squatchin’ in the world you have, not the world you wish you had..

UPDATE: Here’s a marvelous smack-down of the antiquated attitude of knee-jerk skeptics, written by author Phillip Slater at HuffingtonPost.com. It starts like this:

I’m fascinated by the fanatical zeal with which self-styled skeptics pounce on non- ordinary events and try to discount them–largely by the liberal use of words like ‘preposterous’. Posing as ‘scientific’, these ideologues are clinging to a materialism long since discredited by quantum physics.

The fear that motivates the armchair skeptics is exemplified by their frequent use of the word ‘just’, as in: “what these people thought they experienced was just . . .” (imagination, hysteria, group psychosis, etc.). But why the ‘just’? ‘Just’ is what wesay when soothing fears–’it’s just thunder, dear,’ ‘it’s just a shadow’, ‘it’s just the nice doctor’.

The article continues, making several more good points, so go read it.
