Jeff Meldrum and Steven Streufert Speaks Out On Ketchum Bigfoot DNA Publication
Dr. Melba Ketchum has published her Bigfoot DNA paper on DeNovo Science Journal, a website, she claims to have bought out recently. Regardless of whether or not you think the science journal is legit, it's published now and we can all check it out for the super low price of $30.
So what are the big shots saying about Ketchum and her published paper? Dr. Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University and Steven Streufert of Bigfoot Books has chimed in. Here's what they wrote on Facebook today:
Dr. Jeff Meldrum via Project Sasquatch:
The journal was created on a GoDaddy template on Feb 4, by a third party, with a one-year contract. There is no information about who is editing the "journal" or who the members of an editorial board might be. I queried the contact feature on this matter but have received no reply. This does not appear to be a refereed journal. It appears to merely be a front for a self-published report. The sequences have not been uploaded to Genbank.
Steve Streufert via Coalition for Sanity in Bigfoot Research:
I've said this many times before, and I'll say it again:
Ketchum may indeed have real Bigfoot samples, but she clearly screwed up the scientific process in many ways, and seems to have an extremely naive interpretation of what the data mean. This will become clear when real scientists get a hold of that data. Even then, it is possible that this flawed study could lead to the proof of the possible Sasquatch species. Personally, I would love to see that happen.
There may indeed be something behind it, within all the mess. Real, earnest, dedicated researchers put their hearts and souls into this. One can only hope it was not all for nothing.

ReplyDeleteJeff Meldrum is pretty cool too. He is right, it's just a self published report.
DeleteIts an absolute travesty is what it is. If she had a clue, at all, she could've fabricated DNA primers, mixed sample evidence to seem like a hybridazation event, etc. As it is now she looks exactly like what she is: Another idiotic faker trying to fool the gullible community known as "Bigfootland". Smeja lied for 2.5 years and finally wanted to sleep at night so submitted his bear hide for testing. Other fools like Dyer just keep plugging away until someone buys their book/movie.
DeleteMelba is such an idiot not only did she fake the study but couldnt even figure out how to pull off a convincing hoax!!! Her data and science is 100% BS in addition.
I wonder if Sykes study (which will show all known animal/human DNA) will go around Oxford and self publish on a godaddy.com website?? Poor footers, but honestly we TOLD you what would happen for the last three years...it finally did and all her supporters, like her, look like fools.
Although he has nothing good to say about it, he is being kind, nonetheless. Maybe it's pity, or maybe he doesn't want to skewer his cash cow.
DeleteRe: Bigfoot BS. Yes, Absolutely. This whole Ketchum DNA deal
Deleteis a total and complete failure. Bigfoot Research has hit an all-time low.
If we could only get rid of the nuts and wack jobs attracted to Bigfoot.
The footers will make this failure of a study, their foundation for proof. They will make Ketchum their martyr.
DeleteI know, it sounds crazy, what else would one expect from them. They're predictably crazy though.
well, I think if we are all patient more info/proof will be on it's way.
DeleteDon't jump the gun and dismiss this outright, be patient....more evidence will be forthcoming, I hope.
That's all good and fine you know, but proof would be much better.
DeleteUmmm, yeah I'll take proof of Bigfoot for $1000, Alex.
Alex: 10 ft hairy, ape-like creature, on a slab.
Me: What is proof of Bigfoot, Alex.
Meldrum is one thing to quote as one how has been studying primate bipedialism for years.But Steven? No offense to the guy, but he runs a bookstore.
Delete^^Punctuate much?
DeleteKetchum wanted to be the first to provide proof to do it, but tried to decieve everyone that she had the scientific knowledge and background to do it. She doesn't. She produced only a DNA test, but not the science to show the results mean what she says they mean. You need to be a scientist to do that, and she just is not one. We have to wait for Sykes at Oxford -- the real deal.
Delete^So Bigfoot still exists, she's just stupid?^
DeleteI told you, Sykes study will find nothing of interest, just 'coons, beaver, bear, possum, coyotes and people who discovered or handled the sample. Thats what Ketchum found and has NOW, and has based her paper on. Tske Smejas bear: IF he actually submitted it to her, it turned out to be bear and human. So mDNA frome either would show up in abundance. She ran sample agsinst common DeNova DNA assay got Justins mtDNA (.the human part) which was designed by forensics to only test for the human part anyway!! A predetermined human marker. Then she ran a DS nDNA assay and found a whole mess of nDNA human mixed with something else, primate or otherwise, but nonhuman codes she didnt recognize because she doesnt know how to ID for specific human genes....she is a 100% idiot ass-clown and Disotell, Barry Scheck (of OJ fame) or Sykes would rip her apart at a public forum.
DeleteBIgFOOT is a DEAD PROjECT thanks to "DENoVo publishing!!! Trust me Melba is a laughingstock if anyone of IQ that doesnt believe (like me) bought it and can discuss in a legit medium....Melba is toast.
damn Bigfoot is bullshit and she is on fire tonight.
DeleteIt almost seems as thought she really didn't have a paper. And perhaps Wally threatened to sue, for not producing anything from the money he invested. So she threw together this hokey site and made some shit up.
DeleteWow, he must be a nice guy and he has stayed level headed about this report!
DeleteHe is the real deal, she unfortunately is just trying to make money...sleeping Sasquatch...braiding the hairs of Sasquatch, come on!
It would be nice if the report...well lets say is a PUSH foreword !
face it footers! Bigfoot the magic ape is a done deal!!! too funny your cause has been ruined by your last hope
DeleteSo Bigfoot is BS just copy the paper or send it on to a real geneticis. You gave Melba $30 to talk shit so you are the stupid one anyway.
DeleteIt's hard to look credible when you're always holding that damn cast.
DeleteSo NONE of you bozo's have actually read the paper but using your combined IQ's of 10 you have all decided that Texas University and all the others who were involved in the research are full of BS?
DeleteNo wonder America is going down the S bend.
It's called a p-trap
DeleteI am concerned that they left out of of the researchers and didn't acknowledge him in the report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85PcMJ9D8X0
DeleteOne thing is for sure: this website is great fuel for skeptics.
DeleteIt's run by cynical skeptics catering to the lowest bottom of humanity, they are in fact feeding off people's gullibility. Bigfooters aren't doing anything bad or wrong by listening to researchers, or buying their books like the organized trolls here always deplore, in fact it's a blog like this doing exactly that by organized whoring and moneymaking.
DeleteBiBS is actually part of it, there's no true skeptic here it's all an agenda crowd with one purpose to ridicule this subject. Check BiBS' drivel, who in her right mind would get pleasure out of spending so much time and dedication on a subject of no genuine interest other than the job hired to do here. It used to be on youtube now it's here notice it's always the free for all public places, you can't do this ridiculing on facebook where it's more private. The massive onslaught of personal smear on Ketchum or whoever dares prove this is really some of the BEST evidence that squatches exist, I certainly hope and truly think that most if not all sensible people reading here casually fully knows the scamming is by those OPPOSING any study or proof.
I can see your mid tarsal break.
ReplyDeleteDoes it make me look fat?
DeleteLol!
DeleteMy world just fell apart and all you assholes can do is lol
DeleteCan someone please call out Alex Hearn and his co-harts whom believe ketchum and there toenail, which has been already proven not to be a bigfoot or sub human or a halfbreed of some kind. And contact az. channel 5 news on all of this BS by azcro and pronoucing something as dna as real from Ketchum when its been disproven over and over again.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you?

DeleteLOL dreamers
ReplyDeleteThere NO bigfoot.
When the very best samples from the community that people swear come from a bigfoot because they saw the bigfoot leave the sample come back as known animals then you KNOW for a FACT bigfoot is complete BULLSHIT and these delusional FREAKS are lying. Plain and simple.
I see what I want to see and by golly, I saw a Bigfoot.
DeleteWhy dont you come out of the closet tool...
Delete^^Will you be waiting for me when I do, sweetheart?
Delete^HA!
Delete12:54 one more sad scammer with too much time on his hands.
DeleteFirst off Neil Peart rented a warehouse a block away from my office Markham Ont.He would come in and drum usually after 8pm..No longer there but he is the greatest..If anything self pulished or not..hopefully this will fuel more DNA testings for other explorers and maybe a more serious scientific study
ReplyDeleteI don't think that will happen. To have serious scientific study, the bigfoot community as a whole would have to come together and work together for that goal.
DeleteSo far, all I see that surfaces to the top are a lot of hoax's and claims that no one verifies before actually reporting on it.
And then, the more outspoken members of the community comment on it so that they can raise their profile.
If a focused effort for mainstream to take this subject seriously, the entire community would have to agree on not perpetuating hoaxes for the sake of publicity and agree on standards when looking into actual claims.
They'd also would need to share data and information, which from what I can see doesn't happen. Everyone signs NDA's and hides information from one another, because everyone is out to be "that one person" to prove it's existence so that they can cash in.
I find it ironic that the same BF community that is doing this for the sake of cashing in, crucifies Melba for doing the same. Double standard.
^ best comment I've read in awhile! So very true!
DeleteProduce a body and the science community will take notice.
DeleteNiel peart,cool
DeleteI have an Alex Lifeson pick from a show in Nashville way back in th eighties! Fly by night brothers and sisters.
DeleteI've never seen a squatch I didn't want to shave. Once I shaved her like french poodle. A very Stanky poodle. Took a long time, as I was using dull letter opener shaped like a Louisville Slugger. Grows back too quick however.
You'll never get Dogman DNA. Never. EVER.
ReplyDeleteMMG
Dogman's got nothin' on Bearfoot.
DeleteAnd Bearfoot's got nothin' on ManBearPig.
DeleteAnd neither have anything on manbearpig
DeleteBearfoot will rip MBPs face off.
Delete"it is possible that this flawed study could lead to the proof of the possible Sasquatch species"
ReplyDeleteOnly a footer could turn an epic failure into positive news.
It's not an epic failure yet. Meldrum is steady and reasonable, but he does not do genomic science. Whether the data gets downloaded into genbank or not, the data will speak for itself. the critique on the data and the "next gen sequencing" is all that matters. There were 11 scientists involved, all with something to lose. That they were willing to risk it, says something about whether they thought they were/are on to something or not. Perhaps there hasn't been time yet to send to genbank. What is the criteria for acceptance into genbank? Does genbank need to pay the $30 ? Would that negate the need to pay the $30? Maybe that's why Ketchum does not want to just give it up to genbank, who would them give it up to anybody for free. Ketchum does need to start publicly elaborating on the whole story from a to z. What is she waiting for?
DeleteOh...ok, thanks for clearing that up for me.
DeleteI didn't clear anything up. I'm just saying critique the data and methods. WE don't know anything about it yet, I am willing to admit I don't know all the facts. SO, I reserve judgement. You should too.
DeleteExactly!
DeleteOh...ok.
DeleteGeddy Lee owns genbank
DeleteThats the whole point idiot, there may be real data present and she fucked it up in how she presented it. Dont you get it? She used you idiots
DeleteHow the data is presented is not nearly as important as what the data shows. If it's good science/data/interpretation, the truth is all that matters. That's the whole point, and you're the idiot. How it is presented, and whether Ketchum is ultimately deemed the discoverer of bigfoot is of little consequence. Is there now proof of an unknown hominid or hybrid, or both, or is there not? The "peer" review is really going to be a continuous on-going process, whether it passed the initial process on not, whether it got published in the normal journal publication process or not. We're still going thru the human genome and trying to understand it, and that process is still only in its infancy. The data didn't use me, and neither did Ketchum. It's all about the truth. Everybody is always saying Ketchum's genetic experience and background isn't up to the task. But there were many others involved. It's not just her or about her. She is clearly interested in the mystery, and in finding the truth. She took the risk to her reputation when nobody else would. Do you think Sykes would have taken the ball and run with it if Ketchum hadn't gone first? I don't think so myself. In addition, I think he wants to wait until Ketchum's data is out there before he risks the next step.
Delete
DeleteI read about a geneticist who has read the paper and states there is no raw data, apparently this is important, also another comment was that the nuDNA did not amplify which is often a sign of contamination, I confess I do not know whether this information is correct but then again I am not a geneticist.
Are you kidding me? You must not have any idea how peer-review publications actually work. Does Genbank have to pay the $30?!?!?! We are still in our genomic research infancy? The frack are you talking about?
Delete
DeleteI think comments from those in the field who have read the paper may contribute more to the validity of the project so I will post what I have come across.
First up is Richard Gibbs, one of the key scientists behind the Human Genome Project and director of the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine:
“As a scientist I would consider anything.The currency of scientific advance is keeping your skepticism at bay. You have to approach these things incredibly agnostically. As I read the paper I asked, is the evidence here compelling? I don’t know. Is there clear evidence of fraud? That’s not apparent. It’s an intriguing hypothesis. One would need to view more sequencing information before supporting the conclusions.”
Specifically, Gibbs said, it’s standard protocol to upload the raw sequencing data which can then be analyzed to determine whether this is a new species, or simply an amalgam of existing species. Only a text file, which is unhelpful, accompanies the paper.
Next is the view from Leonid Kruglyak, a Princeton University geneticist:
“To state the obvious, no data or analyses are presented that in any way support the claim that their samples come from a new primate or human-primate hybrid. Instead, analyses either come back as 100% human, or fail in ways that suggest technical artifacts. They make the bizarre claim that the failures might be caused by novel, nonstandard structure of the DNA (“Electron micrographs of the DNA revealed unusual double strand – single strand – double strand transitions which may have contributed to the failure to amplify during PCR.”) which would mean this DNA was different from DNA in all other known species. There’s also the strange statement they couldn’t deposit sequences in GenBank because it’s a new/unknown taxon — GenBank does that no problem.”
“The tree in Fig 16 is inconsistent with known primate phylogeny and generally makes no sense.”

anonymous @317 +10000!! Great post.
DeleteAnd so that just about does it for The Ketchum Report.
DeleteIts only gonna get eirse from here, yall. Buckle up.
Whether Sykes finds anything doesn't really matter, he only started this because he KNEW Ketchum had the real thing otherwise he'd never done it.
DeleteDon't worry, there is always the Dyer freeze dried DNA
ReplyDeleteBeef jerky? We know cows exist already
DeleteI must agree with both of these opinions. I don't usually agree with Streufert.
ReplyDeleteIt is shocking.
Yes shocking. Nothing like this has ever happened in the Bigfoot community, absolutely shocking.
DeleteIxnay reufertstay
DeleteOh my, things are beginning to pop up.
ReplyDelete"I have no idea why Richard Gibbs was so charitable. I can only imagine that he didn’t take the time to read any of the paper. I read as much of it as I could until the sheer weight of the BS became unbearable. Yes, I do have a PhD in genetics and do feel qualified to say that the manuscript is utter nonsense."
^^^..@1:22...Then please elaborate as to why it's incorrect. Get the ball rolling. Can you do that for us?
DeleteSomebody should print out a copy now before Melba uses everyone's tips to correct the flaws. Much like video hoaxers improve their game basis critiques of others.
DeleteDon't fret 1:48, there will be MUCH more to come.
DeleteAnon 1:22 Doesn't have a PhD in genetics! He's just making that up !
DeleteGeddy Lee does
DeleteI do too, and this paper is ridiculous. This is basically a misinterpretation of technical problems. I will not go so far as to say it's intentional, but you can draw your own conclusions.
DeleteGeddy Lee has a big nose and sings like a 12 year old girl. He Moogs me.
DeleteOh dear.
ReplyDelete"When I spoke with Richard he said he couldn’t understand why someone would fake something like this, and was trying to be kind by giving Ketchum the benefit of the doubt. In truth, he said without the raw data files the paper proved nothing."
And here's a good one.
ReplyDelete"Unfortunately today fame & fortune has been more important to some with scientific credentials than a search for the truth. These people should never be considered scientist, even if their academic credintals are A1. A scientist gets fame from his peers when something he proposes is proven false as well as when he is proven correct. Take for example cancer research. There may be indications that exposure to something causes an increased chance to develope a certain cancer. If that is not the case, knowing such is important because it eleminated that suspect. It is akin to the scientist that eleminates a suspect due to DNA testing."
Steven Struefort - Big shot ? Meldrum yes but the rest of you yingyangs are armchair skoftics.
ReplyDeleteHush little footer, don't say a word.
DeleteMelba just shit you a big old turd.
If that big old turd don't shine, Melba's gonna shit you a bottle of whine.
you should get that poem "published"
DeleteYeah by Robin Blueberry Bagel.
DeleteLol! That's funny!

DeleteWell maybe she thought she had something when in fact she had nothing. meldrum must be lying also, there really is no bigfoot I believe now. Just a big fricking circus show. Bigfoot...bull crap
ReplyDeleteThought?
DeleteHe sleeps with that plaster cast,takes it everywhere
DeleteSomething just dawned on me. Meldrum despite his bigfoot interest is part of mainstream science, so he could in fact be part of the cover-up within by pretending to be a bigfooter just like everyone from Moneymaker to Biscardi is. It's their job to keep tracks (no pun intended) of what these beings - and bigfooters - are up to.
DeleteWell maybe she thought she had something when in fact she had nothing. meldrum must be lying also, there really is no bigfoot I believe now. Just a big fricking circus show. Bigfoot...bull crap

ReplyDeleteCan you say that again Sonny Boy?
DeleteI've got bad batteries in my hearing aids.
The bigfoot world has come a long way. The study did in fact pass peer review. The 11 PhDs are on to something. Dr. Sykes is doing another DNA study. The foundations are shaking for the close-minded, the ignorant, and the status quo fans. The news will get better and better over the years- once the US is ready and it doesn't offset business, order, etc.
ReplyDelete
DeleteWhat peer review? Imaginary peer review?
This trash was not peer reviewed. Get your damn facts straight.
DeleteStop your delusional drivel.
If they say it often enough, it will become truth.
DeleteWatch and learn the ways of the foot.
11 PhDs? I think not sir.
DeleteYou footers believing this are trying to make 1+1=3. Your taking the word of a cat vet over a PHD in Genetics. Take your head out of the sand and listen to the experts.
DeleteNo way dirtbag, there wouldn't be this huge interest from skeptards if there's nothing to it. It speaks louder than yelling in big letters or anything else could ever do. Thanks for the whistleblowing attitude guys, much appreciated.
DeleteI bought it. So far nothing outrageous as others claim. The presentation is horrible though.
ReplyDeleteSample 18 submitted by Smeja and Randles. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteMeldrum said nothing about the content of the paper did he?
ReplyDeleteNo, he is basically reserving his opinion til he has all the info. He sent a message to them via their contact us, asking who (if any) reviewed the report. But they haven't responded to his questions yet.
DeleteI definitely respect Meldrum, waiting for all the factual information first before forming an opinion.
Wellll, if you respect him, gosh darn it, it's good enough for me.
Deleteme too dammit!!
DeleteWhere's Sykes? Why did I think he said his results would be available by Feb,2013?
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Sykes weigh in?
Because he's a professional who doesn't waste his time on Bigfoot sites, plus he's just got Adventure Time season one so he's kinda busy! Mathematical !
Delete^^You won't be saying that when he says there's no Bigfoot.
DeleteYes I will!
DeleteSample 104. It's hair from Fox!
ReplyDeleteLol that's hilarious. "Fox" the Bigfoot that passed away.
Deletelots of samples from Janice Carter... Face to palm time.
ReplyDeleteLong past facepalm.
DeleteJanice Carter? The" 50 years of bigfoot" nut?
DeleteI wonder if those samples smelled like garlic?
DeleteIt's odd. There are samples from some quality researchers like Paulides and then you notice Janice Carter's name. It's all over the place. I am sure most of the samples are legit but 25% seem to be dubious at best due to where they came from.
ReplyDeleteWere there any samples from the MK Davis "whitey" BF?
Delete"quality researcher"??
Delete
DeleteSo what did the dna from the "skunk in pipe" come back as.
Pretty smart cookie that Jeffrey Melfrum. It took me all of 45 seconds to figure that out.
ReplyDeleteMeldrum is an ass clown. From blimps to Scrotum casts he's made himself an integral part of the problem.
DeleteYou would think Timbergianthoaxer would have submitted a few. Those things are running rampant here in Southern Ontario!

ReplyDeletewill the BFF ever go public again?
DeleteNo.I have an inside source that Kitakaze has bought all rights to the BFF so he doesn't look like a hoaxer.

You are really going to call Meldrum a liar--Good luck with getting your head handed to you on that one.
ReplyDeleteKen: Meldrum's dying to believe. Like alot of others, he just won't put a stamp of approval on just anything until it's proven to be fact. There is one fact that's easy to see, he's a gentlemen and a scholar. Long live Meldrum.
DeleteWho like many completely loses objectivity when confronted with tales of giant hominids. Embarassing.

DeleteNow my daughter saw it and is scared and can't sleep again.
Damn you Don Jeffrey Muldrum and your eyebrows.
Damn you all to hell...
Trolls are dying to disbelieve.
DeleteDr Meldrum just pimp slapped that cat veterinarian in a big way. He called it for what it absolutely is:
ReplyDeleteThat is a "failure" because it wasn't accepted in a real/credible journal refereed by real/credible scientists. Instead it is a self promoted publicity stunt with the goal of one thing in mind; to fill her pockets with as much money from as many schmucks as she can. She's doing the equivalent of: charging morons (the ones who back her and this paper) to eat a shit sandwich.
For a guy who can't tell a fake cast from Christ he's pretty spot on.
DeleteIxnay itshay
DeleteWhen the sequences are uploaded to Genbank I will purchase this journal. NOT before.
ReplyDeleteWhy has Melba not commented on this blog? It is the BEST bigfoot blog out there, bar none!
Because Shawn is frugal.
DeleteNah, pretty sure he's Asian.

DeleteEven the World's Most Gullible Scientist mocks the Ketchum "article" and points out the same questionable issues about Ketchum's "journal" site that I did when this new fake story broke.
ReplyDeleteYou bigfootery cultists must be sad pandas.
But please continue to compare rational-minded observers to retards... while you put all your faith in known and exposed frauds and hoaxers and believe in bigfoot monsters.
Go away we're tired as hell of you trolling secret agents' lore.
DeleteWhat the hell does that even mean?
DeleteYour grasp of language is about as strong as your grasp of rationalism and science.
Better that the truth stays hidden from the inbred rednecks and naysayers who'd just end up acting as they usually do, like idiots.
ReplyDeleteThat's the whole reason for the government cover-up yes, redneck retardation.
Delete"Can we even know if Meldrum actually? Has anyone examined his dermal ridges?"
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how stupid can footers be? I give you all points for loyalty, but this is too much. You guys stood by Smellba Ketchup when she talked about hanging out with "playful families of five" squatches. You footers took it on good faith that Smellba knows people routinely feed them blueberry bagels. Ketchup says the squatches braid horse hair and love building stick forts to frolic in, the bleevers eat it up, unquestioningly.
I thought you were all insane, but then things got really interesting. The stories of mind-rape, Angel DNA, the nephilim connection, the publicist named "Forrestpeople." At this point it just got sad. Footers want to bleeve so badly that they would take anything their Messiah, Smellba Ketchup, says as Gospel. Mind-speak? Disabling prey with infrasound? Zapping footers with electro magnetic energy blansts and escaping capture using mind pulses to scramble brain waves? I mean seriously???
How did the footing community swallow all this nonsense, hook line and sinker? I'm sure that the footers, confused and floundering for answers, will only gobble up Smellba's latest paper, where she promises to reveal the biological source of sasquatch's "psychokinetic energy blasts and telepathy. So you too can learn to move objects just by thinking about them and commune with the gentle, playful forestpeople in all their new age glory! All for the low low price of only 3 payments of 29.99!"
Goddamn, footers. At this point, you are getting only what you deserve.
It's so stupid when people make s**t up. Then not only that but then try to pass it off as others beliefs. Dumbest s**t I've ever had the misfortune to read. Thank you.
DeleteIs someone mad because no one will tickle his dermal ridges? Anon 8:14, while he needs to work on his spelling and grammar a bit, does bring up a lot of valid points. This paper has been a circus sideshow from the get go. At every turn, there were many in the bigfoot community defending her bizarre statements regarding sasquatch, their behavior, and the potential paranormal element of their existence. I don't know if that is the result of Dr. Ketchum holding some fruity new-age beliefs or what, but it does cast serious aspersions on her scientific credentials.
DeleteDr. Meldrum is a class act. Tactful statement.
ReplyDeleteoh for the days when erik beckjord would have torn melba to ribbons. because as he said, not only is bigfoot weirder than you can imagine, it is weirder than YOU CAN imagine (ie beyond human understanding). He would have torn up this message board like a piece of paper, and rightly so. ONLY WITNESSES SHOULD EVER COMMENT. everyone else might just as well keep thei poop in a coffee mug.
ReplyDeleteinteresting that it changed from "no bigfoot has ever been killed," to just get in a truck and go out and shoot a couple, and it was believed instantly......has anyone wondered why this change in the basis premise of bigfoot?
ReplyDeletehas smeja purchased the paper, does he have to pay the $30?
ReplyDeleteWho cares about the controversy surrounding the Ketchum DNA and journal publishing?
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has half-a-brain (which doctorate level educated people don't because they are too arrogant about being doctors anyway...) they'll realize that the topic of Sasquatch will always have people that believe and people that don't believe regardless of DNA, actual video, journal publications, photographs, hoaxed video, etc.
And with that said, release the damn HD videos already!
We'll decide fro ourselves, we always do.
To all you non-believers, no video or scientific proof will ever be good enough, ever, no matter what. You will always call bullshit on bigfoot and their existence until you see one for yourself. Once you do it will change your life.
ReplyDeleteI know, I've heard from all kinds of hunters and outdoor sportsman's that they've been in the woods their entire life and never seen one so it has oi be BS. But I tell them many times I've been within five feet of humans while bow hunting and they never knew I was there. Even after looking directly at me. So if I can remain hidden, I know that something that lives in the wild all the time can remain hidden if it wants to. Like I say, until you see one for yourself, you'll never believe. But once you do.......
Anon Saturday, Feb.16th @ 1:42 PM PST: I have believed in this species since childhood thanks to my dad and then I had my own sighting. What can be done to prove they exist now short of a dead body or a living Sasquatch being captured? My hope is that this species will be allowed to live in peace and hopefully, if proven to exist, they will then be protected from being hunted or trapped by laws in every state where this species exists. Really, what are they? Why is their DNA so unique and so very unusual? Where have all of these crazy stories come from about UFOs and Sasquatch being connected somehow? I saw a creature, not a spaceman, not an alien, but a huge creature covered in hair that dwarfed my 6 foot 3 inch hubby in height and weighted 4 times what my hubby weighs. There is *something* out there, exactly what they are, I don't know, but I do know that they do exist and I will never go camping nor hiking ever again. We puny humans have no defense against them unless we are very well armed should a Sasquatch attack a human. May God Forbid that from ever happening.
