Regelmässige Besucher dieses Blogs haben sicher bemerkt, dass in letzter Zeit nicht nur Beiträge zu Bigfoot- oder Kryptozoologie-Themen hier gepostet wurden. Der Grund ist: Ich bin noch etwas am austesten, welche Themen ich behandeln will. Aber wahrscheinlich werde ich mich auf Bigfoot, Kryptozoologie und Anthropologie beschränken. Falls ihr Inputs habt: Einfach Kommentar oder E-Mail schreiben.

This is a work of a lifetime! John Green, the almost legendary bigfoot researcher from Canada and author of Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us, has put his vast collection of bigfoot sightings reports online. This could be a very useful tool for bigfoot researchers. You can search the database by several categories like appearence of the creature, nearest town of the sighting or collected evidence. Visit

Den Namen Sergio De la Rosa Martínez sollte man sich merken. Denn was dieser mexikanische Künstler zustande bringt, ist unglaublich. Ich bin gerade zufällig auf seine Website gestossen. Seht euch seine Galerie von ausgestorbenen Pleistozän-Tieren an. Man glaubt fast, Martínez habe eine Zeitreise unternommen und die Wesen fotografiert.

Es ist bereits seit längerem bekannt, dass die Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) eine eigene Dokumentationsreihe im kanadischen Fernsehen erhält. Wie gestern auf ihrer Website www.bfro.net vermeldet wurde, ist für 2010 ein erstes grosses TV-Projekt geplant. Details dazu stehen in der Mitteilung nicht. Die BFRO werde aber die Zahl ihrer Expeditionen verkleinern, damit sich die Führung der Organisation ganz auf das Filmprojekt konzentrieren könne.

Besteht ein Zusammenhang zum Kentucky-Filmprojekt? Eigentlich wär's logisch, wenn die beiden Projekte miteinander verbunden würden. Nichts würde eine Doku-Serie über Bigfoot besser lancieren als neue Filmaufnahmen. Der Mann hinter dem Kentucky-Projekt ist BFRO-Financier und ausserdem Kanadier, und das Duo, das vor Ort forschte, ist ebenfalls bei der Bigfoot-Organisation eingeschrieben. Verbindungen sind also vorhanden.

Doch wenn's so wäre, würde sich die Veröffentlichung der Aufnahmen erneut verzögern.

Noch gibts keine offiziellen Infos zum mysteriösen Kentucky-Projekt. Mehrere Filmaufnahmen von Bigfoot sollen in den letzten Jahren auf einem ländlichen Grundstück in Kentucky gelungen sein. Wann sie veröffentlicht werden, ist unbekannt, die Direkt-Beteiligten schweigen.

Nicht so ihr Umfeld: Immer mehr Personen, die über das Projekt informiert wurden oder die Clips sogar gesehen haben, sprechen offen darüber. Die Meinungen spalten sich: Einige vermuten, dass die Videos keine Sasquatch zeigen, sondern entweder kostümierte Menschen oder Orang-Utans. Andere sprechen vom bedeutendsten Beweismaterial, das je gesammelt wurde.

Vor wenigen Wochen erhielt ich eine E-Mail von Mary Green, einer Bigfoot-Forscherin aus Tennessee, die das kontroverse Buch 50 Years with Bigfoot geschrieben hat. Sie behauptete, dass sie einige der Kentucky-Clips gesehen habe. Ich bat sie um ein ausführliches Interview.

Dies ist keine Erstveröffentlichung. Ich habe es bereits auf www.bigfootforums.com gepostet, wo es hitzige Diskussionen ausgelöst hat.

Die Namen der Beteiligten sind schon seit längerem bekannt. Doch ich in meinem Blog schreibe ich ab sofort nur die Kürzel. Ich will nicht, dass die Personen aufgrund meiner Artikel in irgendeiner Form belästigt werden.

Sasquat.ch: Mary Green, you have seen some of the so called Kentucky clips. Can you tell me about them?

Mary Green: Yes. D.P. showed me several videos, some of them taken in color and daylight. I watched them on his laptop screen one by one.

Why did he show you these clips?

I believe he did so because he was hoping to win Janice Carter over and have her work for A.E. They wished to have another habituation case to help back up the Kentucky project. But I think Janice was never able to furnish any videos or other proofs to A.E..

Who took these videos from Kentucky?

I just know that S. had taken the close-up videos of the female and was told by Dennis that R. had taken a couple of good videos of the male. I did not get to see any videos of the male. D.P. did say that there was a resident male around at times and that he thought this female was its mate. I did not get to see any video of the baby either.

Can you tell me about the videos?

One color video showed several minutes of the young female sleeping on the ground. It was a bit dark in the woods but the one who filmed did an excellent job of capturing her while she slept. The female hominid was not curled up tightly, but rather laying mostly on her back. She looked very relaxed.

What was the color of the creature?

It had very thick, soft and silky looking black hair, with maybe a slight reddish hue at times, but that could have been from maybe the sunlight coming through the trees and reflecting a bit of red in the hair.

What else did you notice?

A bit of a zoom-in was next done by the person filming. The hominid was thick around the middle. I don't know if this was before she had her young one or not. The camera then focused along her arms and hands and fingers. Her hands were very human looking and the thumb looked to be at about the same place as a human's would be, maybe only slightly lower. I did note that the shoulders and upper arms, and the forearms were extremely muscular. The hair all over the hominid was long and wavy across the chest area and the stomach area and down the shoulders and arms. The forearms hair was maybe a little bit shorter.

Did you see muscle movement?

Her muscles moved as they should in the arms and hands and fingers. I did note that the young female began to move more and more and stir like she was waking up and that whoever had the camera was backing off some.

Did she have large breasts?

I did not see any breasts. They may have actually been shown but not close enough for me to see them. If she had breasts they were certainly not even close to the size of Patty's in the Patterson/Gimlin film.

How do you know then that it was a female?

I just took D.P.'s word for it. He told me it was a female and I believed him.

Can you tell me about the other clip?

This was the best. The hominid, probably the same female, was slowly walking through the woods and coming closer to a couple of trees. She went out of sight behind two of them and then appeared on the other side of them, stopping and standing still as she peered around the woods. You could see her from above her forehead somewhat and then down to about her waist. Clearly, the camera had been zoomed in. Her right side was against the tree and it left her left side free and you could see her shoulder and some of her upper arm too. This one was of the same color as the first. It had curly, sometimes wavy hair all over her body, on the back of her hands, on the top of her head, and along down to her shoulders and chest. Her hair was from at least 3 inches to possibly 8 inches long, with the longer hair mainly on the head hair and shoulders and upper body.

How did the face look like?

Her face reminded me of a wookie from Star Wars, with a rather flat face in some respects. Although she was totally black skinned, her face did look a whole lot like an Eskimo's face. But this is just my own impression. Her head looked to be more rounded and not one of those with a pointed head at all. Her eyes were of a beautiful dark brown, almost black color. There were a lot of the white areas like on our eyes. They were set deep in their sockets. She had very bushy eyebrows. If I remember correctly, she had soft hair all over her face, and maybe a very small portion of just hairless skin around her eyes and nose.

How was her nose like?

Her nose was like ours, very much so. It began and ended where our noses do. But it looked more like a black person's nose, a bit wider on the base where the nostrils are. Her nostrils were big also.

Lips and teeth?

Her lips were lightly rosy in color and plumper on the lower lip. It may have looked plumper because her upper lip came down over the lower lip due to the eye teeth which were grown out on each side of her mouth. The eye teeth were pointed and not flat like ours are. They curved backwards. They looked exactly like small fangs. The inside of her mouth was pink like ours and the rest of her teeth looked very white and more like humans'. Her cheeks were fat and rounding.

How did she move and act?

Very cautious. She displayed a look of wild cunning as she looked slowly around. I did not see her blink at any time, but this video was also fairly short. She was an intelligent being in my own opinion. She did move her lips and opened her mouth a little, and turned her head from side to side very slowly every now and then.

Did you notice any similarities to the Patterson creature?

Both had hair on their heads, faces, and bodies. But Patty had far less hair and looked larger and also more human without the fangs.

Do you think the creature in this video was real?

I believe that it was not a person in a suit, or a hoax of any kind. In my honest opinion it clearly shows a sasquatch. There is no doubt in my mind. I know what orang-utans are and monkeys, great apes, bears, cougars, and many other type creatures. This was an unknown creature to mankind.

Were there any other videos that D.P. showed you?

Yes, beside the "pancake video" he showed me another video. L.H. was with S. in this video. They were driving. Then they stopped the car. I was told at this point that the female sasquatch was calling to the two women from across a strip of field at the wood line. You could barely hear something making some noise. Then the video showed the two women talking to the sasquatch and trying to entice it closer to them. The two eventually went on to town. The next morning, as I was told, someone found that S.'s car windshield had been struck rather badly. The video showed it. It looked like two or three big fists had broken it in. The hood of the car was bashed in all over.

Do you know why they are holding back the clips?

I was told by D.P. that A.E. did not wish to release the video clips and other biological information until all work was completed. They wanted to take a certain number of hours of good, clear films of the sasquatches. I was also told that A.E. would most likely first release the clips in Canada. I think D.P. said that A.E. felt more comfortable doing this in his own country. However, this was a few years back so I cannot be certain that this is still their plan.

Were you asked to keep this secret?

No, I was not asked to sign any documents about what they have shown me or told me. So I am not bound to keep this secret.

Ein Team des amerikanischen Fernsehsenders SyFy fand in Bhutan angeblich ein echtes Yeti-Haar. DNA-Untersuchungen sollen gezeigt haben, dass es von einer unbekannten Primatenart stammt. Gefunden wurde es während den Dreharbeiten zu einer neuen Episode der Dokureihe Destination Truth. Unten angefügt ist der erste Teil dieser Folge.

Auf You Tube bin ich auf eine interessante Dokumentation der British Broadcasting Company (BBC) gestossen: First Contact. Eine Gruppe von Abenteurern bereist eine entlegende Region Papua Neuguineas auf der Spur von unentdeckten Stämmen. Laut Wikipedia sollen noch immer über 40 Stämme auf der Insel existieren, deren Mitglieder noch nie einem weissen Menschen begegnet sind. Weltweit sollen es mehrere hundert sein. Über den Sinn solcher Entdeckungen lässt sich natürlich streiten.

Das ist Teil eins, die restlichen Folgen sind ebenfalls auf You Tube.

Wer mehr zu diesem Thema lesen möchte, dem empfehle ich einen Artikel von Paul Raffaele im Smithsonian Magazine: Sleeping with Cannibals.
