It started for me back in the early 90's. I was a Marine stationed at a base in NW Washington State. Being a country boy from Kansas, I knew nothing about big foot. Then one night in the woods with my platoon we all heard and seen something. It stared with this whimpering in the woods... almost like a wounded animal. We didn't know what to make of it to be honest. We were on government land and armed to the teeth so it didn't much matter I suppose. I had a cheapo disposable camera with me on that mission.

So later the next day we hear this crashing in the woods and smelled this horrible stench. It was like nothing I've ever smelled before. Then we heard the noises of something rather large moving through the trees. Most of my squad reached for their M16's while I reached for my camera. I saw something near the tree line about 1/5 click away. It stood upright and walked like it had a corn cob stuck in it's butt. It slowly turned towards us as it stepped into the tree line when I snapped this pic.



I know it's bad, and I've caught flak for it since the day I took it. I had to blow up the image (upper left corner) just to see what I saw. From this day forward and for the rest of my life I've been in pursuit of this elusive ape.

So, what's your story?

You guys were stomping around on a CONUS facility with live ammo?

hey full auto welcome to bigfootforums, wow thats a great bigfoot encounter & photo you posted here very interesting indeed. please keep us updated ok. thanks bill green

Also welcome Full-Auto,

Have you had a chance to have anyone in the BF field have a look at your picture and try to clean it up or clarify it in any way .
Did you have any other encounters during this exercise ? Have you talked with others in the platoon about what they saw ,if anything , was anyone4 else close enough to see the creature .


Awsome encounter ,great way to pique someones interest isn't it .

TCF

I'll call BS on this one.

full-auto a member since Jan 17 2004 with 6 posts, 3 posts the day he joined and 3 from yesterday.

What took you so long with the pic. And was it taken in NW Washington or Ohio?

Jan 19 2006 Crytomundo, or here, and here 9th one down.



Hey who let Biscardi in here.

I think your right to call BS on this one Matt Hale.

If memory serves me, this photo was originally taken by Dallas Gilbert, and was recently made famous yet again when Tom Biscardi went on the X-Zone with a friend of Dallas's, and that friend said he took this photo..

If memory serves, this photo was taken in Ohio - not Washington State.

Not even a pretty crash and burn.................

3 replies - and he is busted. Good job Matt Hale.

Not saying it couldn't happen, but I agree that it sounds very strange to have live ammo. What was your mission/exercise?

melissa lol great above reply regarding this new situation indeed.

Let me tell you how the process works.

Its not uncommon for field units to carry live ammo when part of the exercise includes live fire on a range but theres a catch to this.

Ammunition can ONLY be issued and returned in the sealed container it comes in in bulk. ( no munitions depot will accept individual rounds)

Its also against every regulation in the book to have the weapons "locked and loaded" when in training ( too great a potential for an accident) except when on a range.

So, they could have had live ammo in the can- but not in the weapons.

I cant count the number of times supply has requisitioned too much ammo, grenades, 203 rounds etc and I ( as well as the rest of the people) have had to sit there after a unit fires and literally just load mags, click to rock and roll and just burn rounds to get the brass and grenade spoons and pins to turn in.

Theres nothing else you can do once the seal is broken.

That’s what I was hinting at; I just wanted to see his reply. I always loved working the range. At the end of the day, you got to get some serious trigger time.

Edited to add the mantra, "no brass, no ammo Drill Sgt".

How well I remember LOL

I doubt you are going to get any response and my personal BS indicator went off when I read the reply in the best gun thread when he said he was a "decorated war hero". ( I know you know where I'm going with that)

For those who have never served- terms such as "hero" "Rambo" etc are INSULTS not compliments. We would say we are a decorated VET ( or soldier, marine or whatever) but you will never hear one referring to himself as a "hero"

You will hear many terms such as:

The only heros are dead heros

John Wayne was the last "hero" and he's dead now- we are a team.

The difference between a hero and a fool is the outcome

Just like with my avatar- people will ask us are you "green berets" and we are quick to respond

No, I'm not a HAT, I'm a Special Forces soldier who is authorized to wear a green beret



Yeah but we are still gonna do the shakedown and rod that weapon LOL

heh heh, I'm not even around you guys very often and know that "hero" means something like "f*****g idiot brownosing volunteer"

Edit: that's not quite the whole of it I guess though, it also has connotations of "that dangerous assclown that draws fire"

Edit 2: Just caught up with that other thread, maybe "hero" fits LOL

I seriously doubt he is going to reply. I would imagine he has headed for the hills now that his cover is blown.

How else would you propose we guard nuclear weapons? Pointed sticks? Yes, we had live ammo.

My cover isn't blown. So some guy is claiming my pic?

Yeah, when I read that I got a bit peeved, but I didn't want to start a flame war.

Yup, guess who found the guy trying to sneak 2 M203 rounds out in his pocket? "So private, is that a salami in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" You should have seen the look on his face.

... I love these types of threads. These are prime examples of the "make-up" we have here at BFF. The "observation" and "detective" type skills most people have here is awesome. It probably took longer for the author to find the picture and post "his" encounter than it did for it to be exposed as B.S.

After seeing this kinda crap, how can anyone question the need to be skeptical when dealing with this subject?

Good memory!

The image appears here with this sighting report here: http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com/Wayne_B...s_Bigfoot_Photo

And it's interesting that the filenames on both the SFB site and Full Auto's Imagebucket account are the same. Here's the filename on the SFB site:
http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com/images/...swamp_arrow.jpg
and here's the filename that Full Auto posted:
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m167/th...swamp_arrow.jpg

So, Full Auto, there are two options here. One, someone did steal this image from you and pass it off as their own as you claim. If this is the case, please provide corroborating evidence that this image belongs to you. And how it came to be that the filename is exactly the same as the one that appears on the SFB site.

Or two, you've been less than forthcoming in your original post.

The problem is, thats not how its done. You cannot BS people who know.

Sounds FUBAR to me, what unit, area, and specific assignment? I could say just as easily that I guarded Cybill Shepards panties and show you pictures of them. If you were out in the bush on a nuc facility, why were you packing live rounds? In a platoon sized element? Wouldn't your picture be classified material since it was near a nuc facility? What type of nukes? Who had jurisdiction over the base? Was it the same as the nukes?

You don't know what you are talking about. I never guarded nucs, but as Longtabber stated there are certain protocals, and this ain't them.

I hope they were blue tips LOL

Hi Full-Auto, man I feel bad for you that nobody is believing your stories, maybe it's true that someone else is claiming your pic, or.. maybe not. Maybe everything else you've told us is the truth, and your credibility shouldn't be questioned. Things like carrying a loaded weapon because you're protecting nuclear weapons, and being a decorated war hero and.. and.. oh yeah.. remember this little tidbit from a post you made?



That was from your post HERE

I can't imagine anyone sitting in "Millenium Park for hours and not seeing a single Yetti <sp> I'm sure it's almost true wilderness there... So for those not familiar with Millenium Park I'll post the following information so they can become educated about just how remote some areas of Chicago can be.

Millenium Park 222 N. Columbus Drive Chicago, IL (DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ON THE LAKEFRONT)

One was, but he also had s marker round, light green with dark green base (I think). I have no clue where he got it. You talk about a stir up in supply. He claimed that he picked them up when the Drill wasn’t looking. I had worked with this other Drill before and he would have noticed the round in the can. We never did figure out where it came from. I have found lots of stuff policing the range at the end of the day, and even at the beginning of the day when you do your pre-day walk through. When I was at Knox they found two grenades that had supposedly been there since WWI!

A yeti in Millenium Park....Hmmmm...sounds like an excellent promotion for a new sports bar or some extreme sports related product. Considering that Chicago is the home of Leo Burnett ( the guys who invented the Jolly Green Giant...and so many other advert icons...some say they invented the art form) it would be a really cool idea to costume someone up...BF are so "now".
Oh, and by the way...it is a really wonderfull public space...that "cloud gate" mirrored object is mind-bendingly fascinating, and you'll never find kids of all ages enjoying themselves more than the hundreds amusing themselves in the giant spitting fountain....and the human zoo that is drawn to the waterfront...and while I never saw a Yeti there I saw a few things that lead me to think that they are within the range of primate possibility. Go cubs.

The filename is what did it for me. I tried to enlarge the image to read what is written in red at the bottom of the photo (assuming it is copywrite info). I saw the filename and did a search. On the SFB site it is claimed to be copywrited by both Wayne Burton and Tom Biscardi.

Ain't that a bitch!! "Some guy" is claiming a picture you posted on the world wide web (without copywriting it) but not only is "some guy" claiming it, the photo is now a copywrite... Well at least you still have the negatives from developing your disposable camera right? Maybe gather up your Walgreen's receipt proving you got pics developed the same day as you bought you "enema" in an effort to build a case against the person(s) who wrongly copywritted "your pic"

I can affirm FA's story. He is the real deal.

you need to start affirming then

oh boy............

Based on your posting history and the fact this is an internet forum, how much weight do yout think your affirmation is going to carry?

Millenium park, maybe he did see something similar to a Yeti, in the Chicago field museum, which is right on Millenium park, or he saw a Hairy football player coming out of Soldier Field.

Also, I would be negligent to point out, that there any platoon size excercise on a Nuclear Facility would would most likely be of an attack on the facility (but they could do this with a mockup), to reclaim ownership from some terrorists, or to reclaim ownership from a hostage taker. It probably would not be out in the forested areas. The Armed Forces have plenty of training areas to replicate field operations in the woods. Plus imagine the press' response to seeing a convoy of infantry unloading at a Nuclear facility.

What exactly is "my posting history". I've posted in 2 threads, the only ones on this forum with any merit. McYetti and Full-Auto are the only ones on this board telling the truth, the rest of you with thousands of posts are jerking the rest of the decent citizens here off. I don't go by the old internet adage of more posts makes you more credible. How much proof of Yettie does any "5 star" member here have? None.

HEADS UP ! INCOMING!!!!!


dav

Maybe "TODAY", but he's talking about the early 1990's when we were still under the belief that terrorist attacks upon our own soil were out of the question, especially a large enough operation that would be needed to take over a facility housing Nuclear Weapons, not a Nuclear Power Plant.

66 years ago tomorrow, A day that will live in infamy...

Wrong.



Go to Google maps and do a search for "NSB Bangor Washtington" then switch to sat view. There are lots of well armed Marines in and all around that base which sits in a heavily wooded area. If you're any good with Google at all, you'll be able to figure out why the military is so protective of the place.

I too can vouch for Full-Auto. I was there that day on the patrol. I was part of a special operations consulting detail provided by the department of the interior to monitor security and live ammunition storage protocol adherence.

Since that day Full-Auto and I have communicated via secure means off the grid in order to preserve the dossiers written. Full-Auto notified me yesterday that this was finally being discussed publicly after all these years. Currently I am OCONUS using satellite and provider proxies (OR shown as a front) to maintain OpSec.

Trust me, this is real and IT is still out there watching...


858 OUT

This photo has been discussed before yesterday. Check the links futher up in the thread.

Ok....you have 8 post including the one in quotation. One is a one line with two smilies. One is one word "ohmy".
One is a bump. Two are smilies. One is removed by a moderator. Then we have one that is a one line affirmation, then the above post. I don't go by the more post you make the more credible you are either....I go by the content of the post you do make, clearly(no jerking off you decent citizens) this is something you haven't grasped.

Oh, I was beginning to think that this was a BS thread too, but now that you have posted, then that's something else! Automatic credibility-- I believe it all now!

Seriously dude, how old are you? 14? 15? Give it up. What's that I hear in the background? The sound of your mom yelling at you to take out the trash?


** edited for spelling

Except that wasn't a terrorist attack, the danger always exist we could be attacked by a foreign government upon our own soil which was the big fear during the 50s and 60s and use of Intercontinental Ballistic Missles.

You guys just don't want the real truth. Keep looking in the wrong places. Full-Auto, 858 and McYetti are the real deal. Maybe this site is run by the government and they fill it full of trolls and government workers to dispel the REAL researchers. Hmmmmmmm.

Now the conspirancy theories begin.

Well, full auto - are you typing this from "the other side"??

This photo was taken by Dallas Gilbert - the deceased friend of the guy who Biscardi put on the radio to help with his 8 state tour across the US a year ago.

I gotta say wofpack's avatar cracks me up.....that part of the movie was funny as hell.....

Now there is some more enlightening info...maybe we should contact TAPS.
