Full Version: The Sierra Nevadas Recordings

I am of course referring to the 1970s recordings that are available on tape and CD as "The Bigfoot Recordings." They were analyzed and determined to be primate in origin, and one of them was said to have exceeded human vocal ranges, blah blah blah, etc... Anyways, does anyone here have these recordings? If so, what is the quality like? Is it worth buying both CDs for $20?

Personally, in my opinion, I think the recordings are legit. Ron Morehead comes across as a straight-shooter and I don't believe he's BSing about the legitimacy of the recordings.

And even though on some portions of the CDs the sound quality isn't as good as I wish it were, I still think they're worth the twenty bucks to have. Again, in my opinion.

Phish what is the story on those recordings? Did they actually see the bf make these sounds or is that just another half truth?

Hey Belle !.....Great Idea...How do dogs react????I've some noisy neighborhood dogs which bark at night....Would this cow them?????

While this is funny, the only problem is that you might then get false reportings of people hearing BF howls in their neighborhood. I don't think it goes well as then people who hear real vocals may just think they are some jokers blasting them out with their boomboxes instead of the real thing. Just my humble opinion. It's funny for the moment but may have ramifications later down the line that you didn't think about.

Belle,
There actually were a couple of reports from the San Antonio area in 1976. The article from the San Antonio Light is archived on my website. Here is is:

'Big Foot' Terrorizes Kelly Area

September 1, 1976

A mysterious 'Big Foot' type creature may be lurking in a wooded area next to Kelly Air Force Base, frightened residents of a South Side neighborhood say.
The residents, who live on West Fenfield, also say the large animal might have a smaller offspring.

The big furry animal was first sighted about two weeks ago by Ed Olivarri, 1370 W. Fenfield.

Olivarri said he was getting ready to go to work early one morning when his dog began barking excitedly in the backyard.

Going outside to investigate, Olivarri said he was looking over the back fence towards a wooded area along Quintana Road when a train whistle sounded from the nearby Missouri-Pacific tracks.

"The animal must have been hiding or lying down because when the whistle blew, it started running. It looked like some kind of "Big Foot" monster. It was about seven feet tall with short brown hair over its body. It was running on two legs like a man, but a little more awkwardly."

Olivarri said that the dogs in the neighborhood have since started howling late at night.

Then early Sunday morning, a neighbor, Mrs. Rosa Medina, 1362 W. Fenfield, said she spotted a smaller animal which ran on two feet.

Mrs. Medina said she was awakened by her dog barking. When she went to the window, she saw an animal sitting on her back step. She said she was too frightened of the animal to go out so she tapped on the window.

To her surprise, she said, the animal jumped on on two feet and ran off. She described the beast as about three feet tall with brown fur.

In addition to the sightings, Olivarri's sister, Yolanda, reported that the partially devoured body of a cat was found in their backyard last week. She said the jaw of the cat was found in their back yard had been twisted grotesquely.

Olivarri said he thinks the creatures may be a mother and its offspring living in the heavily wooded area along Quintana Road.

He said he has searched the area and has found some unusual looking footprints or tracks, but has been unable to sight the animals again.

Members of the Olivarri family Tuesday showed some of the tracks to a reported and photographer.

Several prints appeared to be the size and shape of human footprints

Olivarri said he had contacted state wildlife officials about the creature and was told that someone would examine the prints.

Meanwhile, a number of residents are afraid to go outside their homes at night.

"I'm not going to come out here alone," said Olivarri's mother, Mrs. Guadalupe Olivarri as she talked to a reporter in her back yard.

And her daughter, Yolanda added, "Last night the dogs were barking and I heard a low growling, but I was afraid to look outside.
