Florida sightings map.

cool! - thanks for sharing your map.

How do these sightings correspond with the terrain in Florida? Interesting that most of the sightings occured inland, while in BC so many occur right on the coast.

These reports I kept seperate from the bulk of the BFRO reports because they occured in Collier county near Ochopee.The possibility of David Shealy being involved was to great to lend these reports any credence after investigation by D.Stocking and L.Jacobson into the area.

X-L-IN-TAY, Jim!!!

Oh, I get it now… those red spots are numbers when you zoom in… duh…

Got it now… only felt dumb for a little while this time…

Great job jim!

…don’t mind me… if you teach to the lowest denominator, you’ll be here all week…

Sorry Ray I meant to get to your question about Floridas general topography last night if this works it should help.Florida map II it also helps with a theory I have .if you notice about halfway down near tampa there are very few places across the breadth of the state for travel from north to south. that means in order to avoid the larger cities and towns of this region a Bf would only have certain areas.most being corridors of 50 miles or less to make his way past these. I look at it this way 50 miles is a lot less area to drive and hike than 200. If they do try to follow coastal areas or water ways (I think it was Bipto who referred to them as Bf superhighways)then I live in a perfect area.Between here (northport) and Arcadia there are two major waterways the Peace river,and Myakka river and all of the adjascent creeks and streams.That makes it a perfect way for a Bf to move undetected through this area.IMO at least.

Great map Jim - I'll get you to explain it later !

just kidding !


I'm please to see there have been sightings in the Palm Beach area, as this is where I'll be staying when I visit FL in November.

very cool - thanks jim! The second map you posted worked fine, and really helped put your work in context.

And what a good idea to number your sightings along with referenced to the reports. I didn't think to do that with my BC map. Think I'll do it with future ones though...
