ECOTI is the way

mine will be here end of January

The more you know, the more humbled you are

bla bla bla

there is no evidence

You are mating low resolution thermal with I2 tech.  I think it’s cool as shit, but if you run high resolution thermal at 60hz you won’t give two shits about Nods. I consider high resolution thermal an essential tool for safety and success.

EDIT:
My statement doesn’t apply to tactical type of use cases.

A bit of both

Had some things I encountered in the 70s, which nobody would believe if I told here so I dont.

For the peanut gallery I was evaluated multiple times by Psychiatrists(for work, as a requirement to get the job) and found to be quite sane. I thought I was hired to do parsimony studies and sequencing, however it was completely different. Once in the job I encountered so much that's simply magical, even to my understanding as what I thought was an educated person. Let me tell you the people at DARPA who are full time, and some of the contractors who come and go ... genius is too popular a word for how these people think. And the things they create, some real and some still vaporware, I couldn't even begin to comprehend. While in that line of work I read documents for background with case files that were similar to my 70s experiences. (other topics as well, but I'm mentioning that specifically for your question.) I saw some things that simply are out of star wars. Cloaking on a micro scale or a macro scale now is beyond belief, like Predator on steroids. Predator has more blur than what you can outfit a human with. These aren't secrets, you can seek them yourself, just know the video allowed out, much like the tic tac video, is still far lower resolution than you're allowed to have. The other thing was the detection experiments which is really where I was, with positive intelligent communicative contact, so obvious that you didn't need to deduce it or surmise it. It was there. Im not alone in not wanting to know, several people couldn't handle it and sought refuge in multiple ways.

I wouldn't even touch a Ouija board after that.


I used to worry about what's in the dark. The really terrifying things don't go away when the sun comes up.

I'm in a completely different line of work now.

Youre not wrong, but after two sets of NODS, ECOTI, a REAP IR, some thermal pulsar accolade LRF 50 binoculars, a MAWL and a few other odds and ends, my budget is a bit flat until end of next quarter.

Can you start a thread in 'Paranormal' or whatever the forum section is called (and post a link)? 100% serious. IIRC, the CoC there is "No trolling. If you don't believe, stay out".

Genuinely curious to read more if you're inclined to share.

Yeah. It's like a different take on that Sascrotch chick

Your reading comprehension, much like your skill at being humorous ... is lacking. Thats not what I said at all.

I second this request.  Your posts are fascinating.

I'll think about it. I was just trying to add to the discussion. I dont really need the attention nor God forbid my post count to go up, people might take me seriously if that happens.

This is not incongruous with what some acquaintances have implied from their work in national labs. They were a bit more circumspect, but I can appreciate the similarities.

The wisdom drips from this post.  I am kind of curious about your last sentence if you so inclined to entertain?

Save some for the rest of us.  

Im reading that literally as the last line, which is I dont work there any more. But Im assuming you actually mean the last line of the paragraph?

Signal to noise, there is plenty of noise here.

The hilarious part is everyones fear of COVID bought me all that and a Jeep Gladiator in the last year, and im looking at something similar this year. As long as the fear stays ... i make money. This is probably the last year so I gotta make the best of it. Bought several rifles from my list as well.

Sorry yes.  The comment, “The really terrifying things don't go away when the sun comes up.” resonates with me.

No he isn't real.

But I am fascinated by the people who are true believers. The ones who talk about other dimensions, the ones who attribute every broken tree as a bigfoot sign post.

I'm not sure if they are crazy, hoaxsters, or both.

To me, that's the most important line. I believe that anything in this realm is demonic, and they are restrained unless we invite them in. That's why the Bible says *do not inquire after mediums or those with familiar spirits.*

*Not a direct quote, but something like that.

SANTA CLAUS..??   YOU BETTER BE FUKIN KIDDING

SO ... I will speak more generally about the popularity of BF specifically.

In a previous life I ran a Bigfoot website. I personally knew Don Keating(of white bigfoot fame in Newcomerstown), Joedy Cook of the Ohio Grassman and Dogman project( I once leant him a gun for a job, he worked for me in a bacterial media room for a short time, and still owes me $400.) Joedy and I set up a table at the 39tth annual MUFON conference(whatever year that was, look it up internet sleuths) when Kenny Young was in charge of MUFON regionally. I knew Jeff Meldrum(funny parallel, one of the guys i did gov work with was a grad student with me at UC in Cinci, and he now has an office next to Jeff Meldrum at Idaho State I think it is. This was back before anyone knew Jeffs name much and he stuck his neck out proclaiming dermal ridges in the footprints werent human. I knew Matt Moneymaker(head of BFRO and not his real name, total ass) back when he threatened to sue us all if we talked about him ... i knew all these people and what they did. So much infighting, i could write a book. This was pre - 9/11. Bobbie Short, and many many others. We were in internet newsgroups before forums like this were a thing. Even the psychologist(i forget his name) who saw it while taking a crap, or claimed to.

Everything you see on tv now, 90% of it anyway is overdramatized crap, in it for the money. I can tell you this, at least back then all of those people were true believers. They had decent lives before the event. After the event, it kind of ruined them. All went divorced, lost their jobs, went bankrupt. It consumed them. One after another, it was painful to watch. What it led to, and my point, is that every single thing became a sign. Much like LOTR with the King under the mountain becoming gold sick, and losing his mind. Every bent tree was a sign. Every depression in the mud was a track. They were all normal people and they became fanatics.

After they have an experience, some run to it. Others run away.

I think the natural reaction given societal pressures is to run away. Its a lot of arrows to take and i saw it destroy many lives.

I dont believe every bent tree is a result of bigfoot. Im fairly certain most arent. Its an interesting group of people who stick their neck out in the ridicule, thats partly why im here, post sporadically, and dont leave too long a trail. Is anyone really anonymous, absolutely not, but nothing about this topic helps credibility with the mob.

And when you get into topics like interdimensional physics and parsimony or heuristic studies, the mob aint got time for dat.

I will leave after this post.

You Sir, are correct. And there are plenty of people with pocket protectors, being guided as we speak by people in military insignia, trying to do just that. And succeeding.

I wish you would post more, every post is gold.

Read that again. He wrote 'Santa Clause'. Isn't that the one that involves putting on the red suit after killing the original?

Thirded

You know all the ancient stories about beings coming out of rocks and people cutting doors into them?

We have a sub forum for this.  Interesting we're five pages in here and no move.  Mention COV and it's moved before submitting your comment.  

Cool.

Are you suggesting all GD threads which have an existing sub-forum should be moved?

I made fun of Bigfoot people until my wife and I saw one at close range.  It doesn't matter what the "probability" or "science" is if you've seen one.  You know they exist.  However, couldn't tell you what they are.  Suggest posting in the sub-forum to keep down the number of trolls responding.

Ha! Here's some more

I saw something as a child that has haunted me all my life. I still have nightmares to this day. I would like to know all I can to hopefully just understand a tiny fraction of what I experienced.

You're not originallly from the Dayton Ohio area and around 57 years old now named Tony are you?

That would be too weird lol. As a kid a neighbor kid and myself saw something  as we were playing outside. I've posted several things in older Bigfoot and UFO threads including that one.

There was some weird shit going on in our area for quite a while.

You're not alone.
There's a lot of people who have seen them and choose not to talk about it  .

The funniest thing to me about this topic are people who like to say I've spent my life in the woods hunting and hiking and have never seen one so they don't exist .

What's the daily caloric requirements for a breeding population of 8 foot tall, 500 lb animals?

Apparently, that’s when they step into the other dimension, when it’s time to eat. And poop.

My guess would be the same as  bears . It's a good question and it's been theorized they are omnivores .

In this it's assuming they are in fact just an animal and discarding any other possibility .

Oddly enough I'm originally from northeast Ohio and my name is Taylor lol

Well that's terrifying. I've always wondered if there was anything to the Nazis and their occult fascination and it that became an arms race, so to speak. Or it it's just horror/sci-fi.

Being open minded is being willing to believe even the improbable if there is evidence to support it.  There is a word for people who are just willing to believe anything… it’s a sucker.

The problem with squatchistas is that they love to talk about being open minded, but they never produce a shred of evidence.  They’ll prattle endlessly about all the evidence they’ve seen and all the evidence they have, but when it’s time to pony up, it’s distracting stories, excuses, and obfuscation.  It’s a pattern that is repeated again and again.

Watch for the following warning signs, whether it’s bigfeet, UFOs, ghosts, vampires, Loch Ness monsters, or whatever…

1. Vague references to secretly being “in the know” about kooky stuff.  A good one will be comfortably obscure enough to deny it if put on the spot.

2. Appeals to authority - totally unverifiable comments or experiences attributed to “experts” who may or may not actually exist.  Claims to know “important people” are common.

3. Discussion of facts until things get tough or caught in their own nonsense, then a context swap to mysticism and philosophy, often completely dodging the actual hard questions asked.  This technique is usually to make something extradimensional or supernatural when sorely pressed. The reason for this that, in that context, it’s perfectly ok to make up your own facts and rules as you go along.  Note that anything in this area is conveniently (and intentionally) unverifiable.

4. Vague accusations of people threatening or intimidating them. A corollary is that, when the metal hits the meat, making accusations that someone is a plant or disinformation agent of the MIB or similar nonsense.  Note that this is also conveniently unverifiable.

5. Portraying oneself as an expert providing high level info, then backing out and and claiming to not being anything of the kind when pressed.

6. Accusing anyone who points this repeatable pattern of behavior out of being a troll.

7. Always playing the victim, trying to share wisdom but bullied by mean people.

8. Implying that most people secretly believe them.

Always fun to look out for “Renfields” too. Recruited friends (true believers or fellow flimflam men, since the best hustles work in teams) that follow them around cheerleading them in threads and acting as the heavy when making accusations.

I don’t think I disagree with any of this

It definitely fits most of those I knew in the late 90s and those who continue in the Sasquatch chase today

The elite of this world intend to make war with God.

I am surprised that you would agree with that considering you know the truth and know he is making false assumptions.  Really surprised.

But bears aren't humanoid. They're solitary.  I would assume that a minimum breeding population of Sasquatches would be what? 30 individuals?  Each requiring maybe 10,000 calories a day. Where is the evidence of this level activity?

Interestingly enough for humans the minimum viable population is much, much higher

There's a guy on this forum that claims to see bigfoots allllll the time and knows their patterns and habits and everything. Sees them all the time under thermals and nods. But somehow... Somehow... Never has a camera or recording equipment on these many encounters.

Lol the two aren’t mutually exclusive

I also have met lots of charlatans who were full of crap

Sociopaths who use all those methods and others I could list

Having an actual experience doesn’t mean everyone is on the up and up

Am I supposed to pick a side to a false dichotomy?


Like I said the two aren’t mutually exclusive

Duplicity aside, and God knows it exists everywhere, he is asserting that there is no evidence and that is the basis of the rest of his attack.  Am I to believe your entire work experience has been theoretical?  Of course I don’t believe that.

no evidence
