Bureau of Land Management and Bigfoot
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on November 9th, 2011
The BLM does not necessarily believe in the existence of Bigfoot. However, if you’re looking for proof you might try one of the outstanding BLM recreation sites spread throughout Oregon and Washington.BLM Oregon
And what does Matt Moneymaker think of this video?
About Craig Woolheater
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Well, it’s something of a sea change to even see something like this at all.
I mean, it certainly appears to be sanctioned by the BLM. And as an agency managing a lot of, well, resources, they might have a considerable management headache on their hands were something like this confirmed.
This isn’t unprecedented. The Army Corps of Engineers included the sasquatch rather prominently in its Environmental Atlas for Washington state. And wouldn’t THEY have a headach were something like this confirmed.
A good treatment of this issue – focusing on the Forest Service, talking about headaches – is in Robert Michael Pyle’s book “Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide.” It’s 1990s, but the headache quotient has probably only increased since then.
I’m starting to lean toward those who are hoping confirmation never happens. Not sure why.
The bigfoot in the video is fairly obviously a guy in a suit. You can see how it hangs on him and in one shot you can see the line between the suit and the head.
@Ragnar – OF COURSE it looks like a guy in a suit . This should be required viewing for anyone who says The Patterson footage is obviously a guy in a suit, so they can see what a guy in a suit actually looks like.
I don’t think the BLM intended the very-obviously-guy-in-suit to fool anybody. There’s a weetad of open-minded tongue in cheek about the whole thing.
