Robert Lindsay insists the Erickson Project's footage of Bigfoot will be released, quotes Bigfoot sample smells like wild boar

Ever since the Erickson Project's website was taken down last Thursday, Adrian Erickson has yet to make a public statement. Understandably, people who have followed the project for years are pretty upset. The only news we've been getting is from a source of Robert Lindsay. This source tells Lindsay that PhD wildlife biologists Dr. John Bindernagel and Dr. Leila Hadj-Chikh have both seen the Bigfoots many times with their own eyes. They have shot enough video of these creatures and are convinced that what they saw were real Bigfoots.

"Is it possible that Pfohl and Hadj-Chikh misidentified existing animals, say bears, as Bigfoots? I do not believe that is is possible either. Further, Hadj-Chikh has a PhD in evolutionary biology. I trust she knows a bear when she sees one," wrote Lindsay.

Robert also quotes the Sierra Kills Bigfoot shooter Justin Smeja about the sample he sent to Dr. Melba Ketchum:

Smeja says that the sample he has smells like wild boar. As he knows what a boar smells like, that is probably an accurate assumption.

Smeja’s sample was sent out for analysis, but it came back as having excessive contamination. Smeja by this time had salted the sample to preserve it, and this may have disturbed it. Wally Hersom was nonplussed. “We have tested that thing eight different times with eight different labs,” he said. “We know what it is.” Hersom implied that the sample had tested positive for Bigfoot in 8 different tests from 8 different labs. We know that other sources have definitely implied that Smeja’s sample tested positive for Bigfoot.

Smeja reported that the nuclear side of the Bigfoot genome was “1/3 of the way from a human to a chimpanzee,” but he implied that he did not understand what that meant. This is the very same figure that I quoted earlier. My source was someone high up in the Bigfoot world who is close to Melba Ketchum. The quote probably came from Ketchum. If true, that would mean that the nuclear side of the Bigfoot line split off ~2 million years ago.

Here's part of the article titled "Bigfoot News November 14, 2011" posted by Robert Lindsay today:

On the issue of whether or not Erickson’s video is a hoax or there is nothing in it or it does not even exist at all. None of this is true. A source has seen the video, and it is definitely real. My source also said that it is at least as good as the Patterson footage, if not better. I believe my source.

This person also spoke at length with Dennis Pfohl. Pfohl shot video at all of the habituation sites. He saw and shot video of the Bigfoots many times. Leila Hadj-Chikh was also present a number of the habituation sites and she also saw the Bigfoots many times. However, she is not speaking on the record about them because her career as a PhD biologist is just getting started, and she does not want to jeopardize it with public statements about such a controversial issue.

I do not believe that Pfohl and Hadj-Chikh are lying, and I do not believe that Erickson, Pfohl and Hadj-Chikh were hoaxing. To me, that’s not a possibility.

Is it possible that Pfohl and Hadj-Chikh misidentified existing animals, say bears, as Bigfoots? I do not believe that is is possible either. Further, Hadj-Chikh has a PhD in evolutionary biology. I trust she knows a bear when she sees one.

Is it possible that the project was hoaxed, that is, at all of the sites, there were guys running around in monkey suits in the woods hoaxing the team? As we know that the team was not hoaxing and we know that they saw something in woods that looked like a Bigfoot, this is the only other possibility that makes any sense.

But the habituation sites are all on private property, and trespassers are not allowed. In some of those areas, there is nearly a shoot on site rule in place. Shoot first, ask questions later. Trespassers are essentially nonexistent on the five US sites on private property. So it’s not possible that guys in monkey suits were running around in the woods playing the team.

This leaves us with the only possibility – that these were real Bigfoots at those sites. Furthermore, samples from all six of the sites tested positive as coming from Bigfoots.

Dr. John Bindernagel, PhD wildlife biologist, was flown in to the Crittenden site by Erickson. While there, Bindernagel saw his first Bigfoot with his own two eyes. As a wildlife biologist, we are sure that he did not misidentify a common animal. Nor is Bindernagel a hoaxer. After Bindernagel saw the Bigfoot, he changed his mind about Bigfoot. He has written books saying that Bigfoot is an ape. He now feels that they are some sort of hominids.

Dennis Pfohl is running into problems in his life. He worked for Erickson for a few years, but now that job is over. He also runs a small business on the side. However, word got out in the town where he lives that he is involved in Bigfoot research, and as a result, his business has taken a hit as skeptics boycott him on the grounds that he’s a Bigfoot nut.

The BFRO is a very secretive and paranoid organization. They are dedicated to being the first group to find Bigfoot. One interesting thing about them is that they have a lot more evidence than they release. I have been told that they much better videos and photos than they have released to the public, but they are not releasing them for this or that, possibly proprietary, reason.

A source gave the BFRO some excellent samples of Bigfoot hair a while back. After some time, he asked for it back, but they said that they had lost it. The source said that he thought that the BFRO stole the sample and then lied and said that they lost it. This is certainly possible, and it is par for the course for these characters. If I had any evidence at all, I would not give it to the BFRO.

Part of Jason Smeja’s 8 pound slab of Bigfoot thigh was submitted to outside sources for analysis. One of these experts was Jeff Meldrum. Meldrum did not understand the hair on the sample, as he felt that Bigfoots have only one stage hair. However, I feel that they have 2-stage hair, an undercoat and guard hairs. Meldrum said it is possible that we do not understand Bigfoot hair very well.

Smeja says that the sample he has smells like wild boar. As he knows what a boar smells like, that is probably an accurate assumption.

Smeja’s sample was sent out for analysis, but it came back as having excessive contamination. Smeja by this time had salted the sample to preserve it, and this may have disturbed it. Wally Hersom was nonplussed. “We have tested that thing eight different times with eight different labs,” he said. “We know what it is.” Hersom implied that the sample had tested positive for Bigfoot in 8 different tests from 8 different labs. We know that other sources have definitely implied that Smeja’s sample tested positive for Bigfoot.

Smeja reported that the nuclear side of the Bigfoot genome was “1/3 of the way from a human to a chimpanzee,” but he implied that he did not understand what that meant. This is the very same figure that I quoted earlier. My source was someone high up in the Bigfoot world who is close to Melba Ketchum. The quote probably came from Ketchum. If true, that would mean that the nuclear side of the Bigfoot line split off ~2 million years ago.

Smeja probably cannot release his eight pounds of Bigfoot thigh, or his entire juvenile Bigfoot body, if indeed he has one as some say that he does. Due to the NDA that he signed with Ketchum, if he releases that sample or body to the public, she may be able to sue him for violation of the NDA. So Smeja is screwed in sense. He is sitting on these samples, or possibly a body, one of the greatest discoveries in science, and he can’t do a thing with it.

A source has been setting up camera traps for Bigfoots somewhere in Canada, but the Bigfoots keep taking the cameras and turning them around so that people can’t take pictures of them. Although this sounds very strange and almost unbelievable, the Olympic Project has been reporting this behavior privately for a very long time. It’s a long-standing problem with their project – the Bigfoots turning the cameras the opposite way so as not to get their picture taken.
