What Dr. Melba Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) Looks Like
Update: Sorry! This is a re-post. The original was inadvertently deleted by yours truly. For those of you who are speculating about why it was deleted, there were no Men In Blacks involved.
We won't say who said this on Facebook, but here's a heads up about Dr. Melba Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA Study:
"Be forewarned: The BF DNA is about to hit the fan."
When questioned about the statement, the person replied:
"I have been sworn to secrecy deeper than any NDA. Sorry, but watch out...."
It's sounds cryptic, but recently, sources have been asked to keep silent about the study until someone from within breaks the news publicly. The general feeling in the room is that we're getting "close".
Earlier today, the Crypto Crew posted a copy of Dr. Melba Ketchum's NDA form she sends out to participants of the Bigfoot DNA study. Randy Brisson had to sign one and here's what it looks like. Brisson is the person who sent three hair samples to Dr. Ketchum for DNA testing.
Randy Brisson has been called a hoaxer and a faker of evidence, It has been stated that he has no part in the Dr. Melba Ketchum DNA study but all those rumors can be put to rest as Randy Brisson has now released a photo of the Letter agreement between him and Dr. ketchum.
This agreement is for DNA research,testing and analysis of specimen. Easy to see it is signed by Randy.
Once again Randy Brisson has proven what he is telling is truth. The Crypto Crew would like to Thank Randy for showing the picture...so Thanks Randy!
As everyone should remember it was The Crypto Crew that broke the story about Randy's sasquatch hair samples and posted the pictures of the hair samples.
In the world of bigfoot it seems some people are nothing but hoaxers, it nice to see a research like Randy backing up his work and stories.
Thanks
Here is what Randy say in his post -
"I see there is a few who think I dont have any thing to do with the DNA, You dont get and Sign one of these if you dont have the goods. I can back up everything I say and do with Sasquatch."
In another post he say this -
"I see there is talk out there about the Erickson, and Melba DNA samples, There is no contamination of any samples, They use the Roots of the Hair, The Hair I have from 5 Sasquatch people, I saw 3 of them leave the Hair, This Hair all came back as postive 100 percent in all my samples, Melba and other DNA experts have done the testing on this. Too much talk about this and that, The experts know whats real and if contaminated, very easy. Adrian would not have spent thousands on my Hair samples just for fun, He belived in me and trusted me, like I do with him. many have no idea what goes on with this, and how hard and dangerous it was for me to get the Hair."
TCC- Way to go Randy ! Thanks!
I wondered what happened.I thought maybe the long arm of the Dr. got you.
ReplyDeleteIt can be expected that several people attempted to hoax her so that they might discredit the study. Just because Randy possesses an NDA doesn't mean that he didn't send garbage in.
ReplyDeleteEven if Randy Brisson submitted something to the study that proves authentic, he is still a lame ass hoaxer.
ReplyDeleteOK. Comments have been restored, Ghetto-Style.
ReplyDeleteYou're a good man Shawn!Always on top of it.
ReplyDeleteThat's why your blog rocks.
Ghetto-style. That's funny..

ReplyDeleteThat is really exciting. One way or another--we will have the answers on the DNA and then where we go from that point will depend--but either way it will either be the most amazingly well-kept fraud or something legitimate and stunning. Sounds like a blast either way.
Autumnforest
I'm pretty sure that was the Snell Grove results from the Canadian Cabin--from Monsterquest episode with Jeff Meldrum and Curt Nelson. You know, I never heard more about that...

All Randy showed was the names on the NDA.
I think the interesting part is the "In the exchange for consideration set forth here in,".
No doubt everyone wants a piece of the Bigfoot pie....or steak.
SasquaiNation
Who's to say the evidence was not collected properly?
Wouldn't the peer review cover that aspect?Wouldn't Dr. Ketchum cover that?Or the evidence collectors?
I'm not taking sides,just pointing out the flip side of the coin.

Very interesting. Can't wait if it's true.

I have been looking at this for over a year! Out of curiosity how long has this study been going on? The date on this contract is blacked out.
Tom
This has been ongoing from about 2009 at least..but got really hot in the last year to yeah and a half.
Thanks Shawn for giving us credit for breaking this story.

"BF DNA about to hit the fan," sounds more like sh$3 everywhere rather than a neat respectable staid Journal? How happy will we we all be to see a Stuffed Sasquatch so we can tell everyone we were right?
Tom
hmmm wonder if he (randy) broke the agreement by posting a picture of the DNA agreement? You know once you post something to the public it is impossible to get it back.

Evidence means diddly squat if there isn't a valid and reliable Chain of Custody to go along with it. Who's to say (and certify) that any "evidence" collected was done so properly, when and where it was found, and under what circumstances? For example, if I collected a hair sample from a western lowland gorilla (or any other primate) and submitted it to the study under false statements as to the "sample's" acquisition, how would you know?
We've already seen that the original "report" couldn't pass muster at a first string publication for unscientific protocol. So, now we're supposed to accept the word of a second stringer "oeer review?"
Tom
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of Randy for backing up his claims and all the secrecy is a little overboard if you ask me. Seems some researchers are intent on keeping sasqautch as a myth. Just bring out the DNA report and the videos already.
Tom
A rewrite and a resubmit is pretty normal. And with DNA they would know if it was from a known lowland gorilla or not.
Tom
If i remember correctly there is over 100 samples...8 of which is known to be with Dr. Ketchum (maybe even more) it is from several different researchers... up to 8 samples where sent to 8 other dna testing sites and it was not disclosed what the sample was suppose to be...all 8 came back "unknown primate" from all 8 places. This is a very big dna study with lots of players.
Maybe some samples are contaminated..maybe none are...we just have to wait i guess.
Tom
True...and the skeptics can always say it was a fake document ...that he printed it himself...but I think it was real. just wish it would come out. You know all of us would buy the dvd/magazine/book.

This whole story smells like a pile of bigfoot dung. I'll bet that it will all turn out to be a bunch of nonsense.

Weren't there bigfoot related DNA studies done in the past with "unknown primate" as the results? What happened to those studies? Why would the same type of results change anything about bigfoot's existence with this study?
Anonymous
I SO want this to be true. I am a firm believer though I haven't seen one...yet!
bigfoots_broski
Thanks for that Tom! Did it start getting big because of the Bigfoot "steaks?"
BMPSMatt
I believe that they would be able to match the DNA from the past samples which were considered "unknown primate". If they confirm Bigfoot as a species, they should be able to confirm species from past samples.

"Sworn to secrecy...." "We're getting close...." This sounds like a typical bigfoot BS story. Brisson is about to the join the ranks of Biscardi and Standing in the pantheon of the all time biggest bigfoot BSers.

What whould be the motives of someone out to hoax and discredit a study, what for? What interest is it to them that there should be no Sasquatches, or the whole thing to remain in doubt? I don't get it. If there's a species out there, why would you not want to know that? Just plain weird. Anyway, I'm sure all the doubters and hoaxers out there can't beat a professional scientific study, and this looks like it's it.
ReplyDeleteNo, over 100 samples were tested. 28 tested presumptive for Bigfoot. Of those, at least 20 represent separate Bigfoot individuals.
ReplyDeleteRL.... are you willing to bet that those numbers are reflected in the study/journal paper ???
ReplyDeleteOf course, if a known hoaxer is involved in this study, the press will be all over the fact that a charlatan was involved with the study if the study supports the existence of bigfoot. No matter what the results of the study entail, the fact that a hoaxer is involved will reduce its credibility.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it doesn't matter who is involved,(charlatan or otherwise) there will always be those who will doubt and attempt to discredit. If the science is sound, that is all that matters. If exact protocals were use similar to those used in criminal trials, etc. they must be accepted OR every person setting in prison because of DNA evidence proving their guilt etc. would then file suit to be turned loose. If the procedures are good enough to take away a persons freedom/life, they should be good enough to recognize bigfoot as being real.
ReplyDeleteExcept no one doubts that criminals exist. Many people doubt that bigfoot exists.
DeleteBut there's no doubting DNA, unless you're insane.
ReplyDeleteThey needed a lot of samples to help rule out contamination. Statistics would reveal the outliers. The conduct of the Ketchum-Erickson team does not follow that of a regular hoax, so I remain cautiously optimistic that this could be the real deal.
