Aventura Mall may be a great place to start.
Good Thinking! Florida is a "known hotbed" for sightings. We are looking for a "Capture" so be prepared!

After watching several programs dissecting and analyzing the famous Patterson-Gimlin film, my opinion of it now is exactly the same as it was the first time I saw it more than 40 years ago.


Sure looks like a guy in a monkey suit.

What a hilarious read this thread is.

Moonlanding real of course.

Yeti fake of course

Aliens almost certainly exist just based on the size of the universe.

Tacos are awesome. That’s not relevant here just thought I would mention it.

I'm all for hiking through a big, beautiful national forest. Don't think we'll find sasquatch though...

Living in AZ most of my life I have seen strange stuff flying in the air.....My mother and i saw a 10 ft wide? ball of fire hovering over the Desert floor north of Mesa AZ back in 1971 but nothing touches the "Phoenix Lights"of 1997 when I came over to the east of my house in Tempe/Mesa and watched it for a good 3-4 mins before I lost sight of it towards Chandler. For those who know the area my house was at Baseline and McClintock behind Chapman chevy dealer.

Say what you will about Big Foot, but there is photographic evidence that the beasts exist and not only that, they are fond of pizza, specifically Domino's Pizza.

Just got to the gym and saw this truck in the parking lot. I'm looking for the owner to recruit him/her as the vehicle will be good for our team!

I believe a no date Sub. We maybe tracking in the woods for a long period of time. The date and additional time zones will not matter. I might be best to not know how many days we are out but we may need to snyc time to meet up if we break into smaller groups.

Moon landing looks fake. Notice we never went back. You are telling me...one of the most valuable assets in the solar system that is relatively close and we aren't exploring it?

yea... ok

Yetis are real!!
Moon landing was staged by Omega, so that they can sell us Moon watches.

See how much money Omega has made from Speedmasters. Its totally plausible ..

You might also notice that no one else is breaking a leg to get to the moon, either.

If there was anything of real value there, you know that someone else would have been there by now.

No hovering in the desert behind our house in Mesa ....slowly rose higher and higher till we could not see it anymore. I had some 7x binoculars so we got a good look at it.....lasted maybe 10 mins. It really shook my mother up.
