People will believe anything.

Snake oil salesmen, con artists, religious mythology, get rich schemes, most stuff on the internet and the fact that the girl you just met in the bar, finds you attractive and interesting.

How a species as ridiculous as ours still exists is mind boggling.

There are simply too many anomalies and unexplainable images.

If there was a landing, the scientists did extraordinarily well with limited technology in a remarkably short period.

Someone mentioned the NASA orbiter hi -res photos from 2009, but I can’t see any evidence from these one way or another.

The only thing that makes it hard to believe it is not true is that nobody has broken their silence and come clean (including the Russians)
Maybe you can’t, but the entire world of scientists, engineers, astronomers and 400.000 people working on project Apollo CAN understand that we did land on the moon. Not once, twice but 6 times.

Show me a suspicious picture please?

And if you play the Wizard of Oz on mute synced with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon...

I spent part of one summer at my boss' property on Martha's Vinyard and met the man who designed the Lunar Roving Vehicle used on the Moon. Absolutely fascinating. He was Jewish man who fled the Holocaust and ended up actually working along side the Nazi scientist Wernher von Braun (a Major in the SS-Sturmbannführer) on the NASA project who the US brought back before the Soviets could get to him. At the end of the War each side was eager to get their hands on these Germans and their advanced knowledge of military technology.

This guy I chatted with sort of put a damper on your conspiracy, sorry to say.

My point is that critical thinking can and should challenge accepted belief on many subjects.

There is no way I will believe a politician - British or American and just because many thousands were involved in the Appolo programme does not prove a thing. I am sure that much of what NASA has told us and did, was/ is true, but as with politicians, I will not necessarily believe all they say.

I cannot say there is no question or shadow of doubt in my mind, so I am unsure either way – though I really would like to believe!

Absolutely absurd to believe that not one of the 400,000 people who spent a decade of their lives working on the moon missions has broken their “silence.”
I believe that era and events were mankind’s greatest achievements.

There is someone in my town that has a metal silhouette of a yeti walking across their large farm, what is so interesting is that it is always dressed in seasonal garb or for special events. Currently, it has a wedding vail and bouquet with pearls around it’s neck for a nuptial. Talk about scary.....

Yes, it sounds ridiculous, when stated like that.

However, the vast majority of those people will have had no more idea about the end result than the rest of the world.

They can't break a silence, because like the majority of the rest of the world they believe we landed on the moon.

This is the only point for me that keeps me from thinking it was faked. Mankind has shown us that their is no way that many people could keep their mouth shut about something like faking moon landings. I find it incredibly strange we never went back. It makes zero sense, but given the fact nobody has ever spoken out about it, i think it actually happened.

There was a Bigfoot/yeti type ape at one point in South America i think it was. The forest is incredibly dense, but i would think we would have found one by now. With all of the technology we have and the best video is still the garbage Patterson footage from years ago. I want it to happen!

Larry,
Have you been watching the new Bigfoot series on the Travel Channel?
I hear it's a bit more serious than the one with the four people beating on trees and yelling in the forest, but that wouldn't take a whole a lot.
It's an eight part series about a three week expedition in Oregon.
Haven't seen any of it yet, but it could be interesting if done right.

Hey Paul! I haven't been watching this but I'll check it out.

There was a bumble and a deer sighting outside my front door recently!

Even if this thing exists, why not leave it alone? In peace. I think it’s likely many sightings are faked but I also think it’s possible “Bigfoot” May exist in some form, somewhere. Why not. But I say leave them alone in any case.

To be honest, I haven't the foggiest one way or the other. Like most of us, I watched the lunar landing on TV as a kid and accepted the accomplishment at the time. If it was staged, then the joke's on countless millions. On the other hand, it's a pretty remarkable feat given the 'analog' nature of the instrumentation and guidance systems back in the 1960s.

Going to have to toss the ball back in your court on this one. Perhaps others can chime in with the documented facts pertaining to this historical (or staged) event.
I am not given to conspiracy theories. But can you name me one other place that the US has put up a flag but has not also put up a McDonalds? I can't.

One of my friends I knew while living on Vancouver Island swears he saw something that looked like a “walking bear” on a backpacking trip in Strathcona Provincial Park.

He would not admit he thought he saw a bigfoot because he was a marine biologist and was afraid that stating this would have destroyed his professional credibility and gone against everything he could rationally believe.

There are, apparently, documented cases of bears walking upright for some distance. He said it was the weirdest looking bear he ever saw.

I'll been doing some Squaching this summer in Mammoth Mountain CA. I hear they like DaytonaC's specifically the white dial so I brought it!

I'll provide updates over the next few weeks...

If you have any ideas to help me locate one or possibly a family please let me know!

Looking forward to posting pictures of one of these hairy SOB's soon!

I think Bigfoot is hiding in a cave and guarding the last dragon eggs. I hear he occasionally checks out TRF.

Another small step towards an official sighting. I'm keeping my camera handy for the lucky day I see one!



THEY ARE OUT THERE!

Thanks for the Tip! I'm going to start spelunking and looking for him and the Dragon Eggs! That would be a great find!

Really appreciate your help! ANY additional Tips or recent sightings welcome!
