How to spot Bigfoot

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Bigfoot Evidence reader Adolfo, a sasquatch enthusiast.

Looking at some strategies recent TV series are using to find Bigfoot I must consider most of them being somewhat ridiculous. Marching to a certain place deep in the forest and watching just for one night (!) for Bigfoot showing up has neither a good chance for success nor makes it any sense.

So, what would I do instead?

When and where to watch:

First I recommend to start with statistics. Take the list of all known encounters in these states and sort it by date. As no housing of a Bigfoot ever has been reported I assume they are constantly on the move, being some kind of nomadic and migratory species. Moving south in winter and further north in summer.

Thus, I expect such a yearly pattern will reveal itself by sorting all the encounters by month or week of the year. This will give me the first bit of information: Where in the vast area of sightings I might expect an encounter at which time of the year.

Now I can find some specific places being hot spots at a certain time of the year. This way I can increase my chances severely.

Using the right tools

Even if it is possible to limit the area of probable sightings to a much smaller area as mentioned before, it will still be quite a huge patch of land. So it seems still useless just to visit somewhere here and just watch until a Bigfoot might pass by.

But there is another method that seems much more promising. There are so many satellites up there taking snapshots of earth in every magnification you can imagine. And as we may assume Bigfoot must be a warm-blooded creature, he will be visible on every infrared picture.

The one remaining question is: How can a group of private researchers like ours get access to these high resolution infrared satellite pictures? The military of course has this access, but I am afraid they might not reveal the results of their spy satellites to the public. But there may be older material, shot by satellites now outdated, which can be purchased by everyone for only a small amount of money. I know about archaeologists who bought some of these photographs and they could successfully spot a number of historical digging sites unknown until then just from such infrared pictures.

Maybe such material is also available from the known "Bigfoot areas" in the north-west of the US. The only important thing one needs to spot a Bigfoot is a high magnification – pictures shot with long telephoto lenses, to identify the silhouette of a creature and distinguish it from that of a moose or a bear with certainty.

If (as I assume) there will come out more than one or two doubtless identifications this could be a first "proof of existence".

The next step might be to launch some kind of flying observation platform – some unmanned flying craft, for example an automated airship, equipped with optical and infrared cameras, GPS-controlled navigation, an long lasting energy source and a wireless transmission line to control the cameras and to transmit the pictures to a ground station in real time. Such an airship can stay afloat much longer than any conventional drone. Therefor it allows a much longer uninterrupted observation time and so it can cover a much greater area.

In case this device has spotted some Bigfoot groups we must try to find out the direction of their traveling. Now it's the matter of a crew of experienced trackers, wildlife photographers and cameramen. They can litter the area with remote controlled cameras and hide themselves with their equipment in some distance, awaiting the Bigfoot group coming in.

Then we only need a streak of good luck, and it is done...
