A group that searched for bigfoot in the U.P. woods this weekend plans to return in August. A four-day expedition in Marquette County by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, collecting evidence supporting the existence of “sasquatches” began with mixed results but concluded with “excitement,” according to BFRO organizer/ researcher Matthew Moneymaker. Just after midnight Saturday, veteran BFRO investigators Pam Porter of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Don Young of Phillips, Wis., saw “grainy blips” through the viewfinder of a thermal imaging camera near where a previous bigfoot sighting had been reported, Moneymaker said, and they caught some of what they saw on film. About the same time, Minnesota-based researcher Chris Perlock filmed “something behind trees” on his thermal camera, “possibly hunkered down or crawling,” Moneymaker said.“We are very excited,” Moneymaker said. “We definitely cannot claim to have bigfoot on video, or even that what we have will impress the rest of the world. We still have to review the footage. But I can say that these are our best thermal images yet, on two cameras.” “We’re going to alter our schedule in order to come back to Marquette in August,” Moneymaker said.

“We’re going into that area again with more equipment.” The exact location will remain confidential, Moneymaker said. The next BFRO expedition is scheduled for Northern Utah July 19-22, followed by New Mexico on Aug. 2-4.It was Wednesday night, Moneymaker said, as BFRO investigators were attempting to “lure” bigfoot into camera range with a series of “howls” and other sounds that Porter captured a single response with her audio recorder. The tape of that response was evaluated during a Thursday briefing by the rest of the BFRO team.“We weren’t sure what it was,” Porter said, “but we were able to rule out an owl, a coyote, or a wolf. It was not any of those animals.”Thursday night that area was “uneventful,” Moneymaker said, and the decision was make to move the search area to remote site near Ishpeming, with only the Minnesota team of Perlock and Andy Peeper remaining behind in their tent. Friday night Perlock and Peeper heard “bi-pedal footsteps” and other sounds.

The link to the original story doesn't work for me. I was hoping to see the videos.

I'm profoundly unimpressed. They saw some "grainy blips" and "something behind trees...possibly hunkered down or crawling".
UP Michigan is heavily wooded and wild in parts. It's home to lots of critters including bear and other furry four-leggers. That they managed to get a few shots of warm-blooded somethings is hardly surprising.

I'm disappointed that they would bother reporting any of this or that they would be excited by what they found.
If they had reported that they found a few images that meant nothing and concluded that they didn't find any evidence of sasquatch, I would respect their objectivity.

I hope that they have captured something of notice. And Im exstatic that they are finally using theyre heads and going into remote areas instead of the places that everyone searches in with trucks and stereos.

Agreed. No self-respecting Sasquatch would hang out near a noisy, well-lit campground, even if the Dumpsters are full of tasty trash. If they exist, they are way out in the wilderness where people seldom go.

haha at self-respecting sasquatch.

I am sure like many animals, they often get curious and venture where they aren't supposed to. The area where they roam is huge, chances of seeing such a thing are slim to none, if they even exist.

what were the "other sounds"?

Agreed.


Pfffttt!

If they are now using thermal imaging equipment, maybe someone will be able to track one finally.

I doubt it, as I don't think they exist, but the more people use better technology, the more fun.
