Neck as big as a Saint Bernard. When he rode shotgun in my '81 Chevy pickup it would list about 10 degrees to his side, and when I'd pull up to a stoplight, people would roll up their windows and hit their door locks.

We all called him Sasquatch, but not to his face!

Tom is about 6'2", 210 lbs, and is right now a machine gunner in a Marine Helicopter Assault company. They were supposed to be doing a Western Pacific Cruise right now, but the USS Essex keeps breaking down and the Navy does not have a replacement ship available.

No. Short haircut and clean shaven. But scary, like the mountain men in the movie Deliverence. Last time a saw him he was probably pushing 500 pounds and barely able to walk into a convenience store. Sad, really.

I've never seen anything like this before or since and still have no clue as to what caused what I observed.

My recollection (not posted on the NUFORC site) is that two of the lights were white and one was greenish in color and that they were closer to the horizon than reported by my son's friend. Also, I think I used saltier language when I first spotted these lights. I hate it when that happens.

As for Sasquatch, I had a guy do some work for me one time and he indeed had big feet.



I wrote here about a sighting that I had back in the 1990's of UFO's over Concord CA ... I have seen Earth skimming meteors, high alt jets going Mach, air refueling, Mercury dancing all over the horizon... LITERALLY! , bolides (one in CA another in MI), Satellite transits, objects re-entering from space, missiles going off coarse and being destroyed mid-air. You name it, I have seen it!

What I saw back in the 1990's, over Concord/Pittsburg CA, is NOTHING NOTHING ... N O T H I N G like I have ever seen in my life!

So there is SOMETHING up there. What? I don't know, but I know for sure, it isn't ours

Default Hog Wash

I Agree with the theory that big Foot is Hogwash. With thermal imagry and night vision and as a lot of people have said technology would have found one by now.

Nuke,

They do have film footage but every expert claims its just a man in a gorilla suit.

No, there is SOMETHING to this. The number of squaches in N. America would have to number around at least 3000 to have a population that could survive breading cycles.

Now spread that 3000 out over all of N. America and you start to see how it can be very hard to detect these creatures.

Just 10,000 years ago, a blink of an eye, we had a giant 8 - 9 foot tall ape living right here in North America: Gigantopithecus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithecus

So, a large APE in North America? You bet ya!

A lot of other species who were thought to have gone extinct several tens of thousands of years ago, have popped up alive and well ... just saying.
