Full Version: the government and bigfoot
so what is your guy's take on the government and bigfoot.. do you think they know of the existance of the bigfoot and just hiding it from the public? just like the rosewell case?
I have a hard time believing they 'know something but are keeping it a secret' as there hasn't been any obvious (at least that I have heard of) attempt to quash people's interest and/or physical quest for such. They don't seem to 'shut down' the national forests etc. where sightings have occured nor does it appear that the 'men in black' have ever showed up at witnesses' homes.
We often give the 'government' too much credit for 'knowing' something when they often don't. Sadly, you can be sure that they'd be 'on the job' the minute one is actually found/captured/shot though.
I say we 'thank god' they're not apparently 'involved' in this mystery as I'm sure it would get FUBAR somehow if they were.

oh s**t.. hahaha i didnt even notice that... i was like.. k what the hell.. the government obviosly knows something.. ahaha my bad.
D'OH! :doh:
Well I am one of the odd ones that do think they might know something.
Years ago I remember reading some reports that happened around some Military bases. If I remember them right they was reported up the chain of command and it came back down that they was to drop it and not report anything any more about it. I do not remember what state it was in or anything. But I seem to remember that it was on BFRO where I read them but I could have the site wrong. Again it was years ago.
Also a lot of forest service people have had sightings as well as other people who work for some sort of government. You got to know that some of them over the years have to have reported it up the line as that is just how they should do things.
And when someone in one of the armed services has a sighting like has happened many times also again it would be reported up the chain of command at some time.
The Government may not be hiding anything but I bet someone some where knows if they are real or not and are just not telling what they know.

I could buy that.
There doesn't have to be a conspiracy to explain the government's lack of commitment on this subject.
First, keep in mind that no report with documented BF activity would survive review by a government bureaucrat. Bureaucrats survive and advance by making their fellow bureaucrats look foolish and wasteful, not by embarassing themselves. In addition, the average government security contractor is more worried about keeping his contract than informing the government of BF wandering around their installation. Given the opportunity, the BF activity would probably be discounted or explained away as unknown trespassers. There is plenty of white-out in the government supply system just for purging official documents of spurious assumptions and unbelievable reports.
Second, the government withholds information from the public at will, why not BF activity? Especially activity on government installations?
I'm not implying that there is an Office of Sasquatch Activity somewhere in a dark corner of D.C. but I'm sure there are viable reports lost in the mountains of log books, security blotters, and other records. It's just a matter of having access and be willing to look.
No one in the government would risk their job to actively compile this information; they'd be fired for wasting time, misusing their resources, and embarassing their boss for having a X-Files whacko in the office.
So there they sit, mixed in with the myriad of "ops normal" or "all secure" reports that accumulate daily, safely tucked away in a backroom on whatever installation they were generated at. We can only hope that before they are burned, they get converted to electronic media or microfiche, someone reads them, tucks the info away, and maybe reports it to someone in the BF loop.
Like that is going to happen!

If BF had originally been classified as part of the UFO thing, they'd not be unclassified without a reason to declassify.
You could say right now they have a reason not to classify, but the story is it's already classified, and they don't have a reason to declassify.

I think the Government has knowledge about BF. Take a look into the ASA Monster case. It was supposedly deemed: "Classified" by one of the guards. 
The government couldn't even keep Clinton's girlfriends a secret, I doubt they could keep something like this quiet.
I've wondered if it would be useful to file a Freedom of Information Act request to the various federal agencies that might know something. The UFO investigators seem to be pretty profiecient at filing these requests and seem to get some documentation to at least raise more questions.
Maybe we can come up with a list of Federal Agencies and sub-agencies that would mostly likely know something.

I'm not one to spout on about conspiracies and such so I wont. One thing though...Honestly, how could the govt. not know? 
I couldn't agree more with "Angie." I've said on a previous post that I don't necessarily believe in a conspiracy or massive cover-up, but if they exist (which I believe they do) some facet of Government, no matter how small must know something. My feeling is that if the Government does have knowldege of these creatures, why gamble by sharing this info with the general public and risk possible repurcussions from large-scale unpredictable reaction. I believe the higher-ups in government want daily life for millions of its people to run as normal and smoothly as possible. It makes sense to me that "their" reasoning for not informing the public would be to prevent some major religious, social, not to mention big business issues this country may never be ready for. I think the attitude is- that one day, undeniable proof (recent remains, thermal footage etc..) will surface from some unexpected party, and the government will "cross that bridge when they come to it." In the meantime, stand on the sideline and do nothing to repudiate or discourage bigfoot searchers. This is just my opinion.
Right on! Bartlojays, among many "possible" other reasons, just named the most significant ones, I think. They have their reasons, however many that is. They know. 
well, i certainly wouldnt put it past them
