That's correct, skunk Apes. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,500 Before I get in the shower, I just want to mention a couple 4 00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,700 things. First of all, we hit 1 million 5 00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:19,100 downloads on the podcast this week, which was pretty happy 6 00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:20,500 about. And that's a total of 1 million 7 00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:24,300 downloads for all the dozens and dozens of episodes that we put 8 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,800 out there in the last three years, kind of a milestone. 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,800 If you like to, if you like what you hear, you can always go. 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,100 Go to Anchor and support the program there. 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,300 And also I'll be looking at it, maybe in a week or two. 12 00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:43,000 The Pentagon report came out on the UFO subject. 13 00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:44,800 Looks like it's pretty much a nothing burger. 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,200 Just like I thought it would be, they've looked at 144 reports. 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:57,300 One of them was a drone 144 reports that since 2004 seems 16 00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:01,200 pretty unlikely to me, but I, Guess that's what happens when 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,100 you classify every sighting as a drone. 18 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,600 So instead of looking at that this week, I decided look at 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,000 something that I was interested in. 20 00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,400 And I wanted to continue little bit was Bigfoot Topic in 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,100 particular, what's called a skunk ape, which some people 22 00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:18,500 think is a subspecies of the Bigfoot family, and a lot of 23 00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,800 times, you see, these down in the Southeast and specifically 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,400 in Florida, and that's where it seems to be a lot of good 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200 stories out. I've got several Links at the 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,500 website UFO, warning.com, it's you UFO, warning.com you can go 27 00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:33,700 there and Link the Articles and a pretty good video. 28 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,800 I think it was apparently produced by Les Stroud. 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,600 He's not in the videos and other fellow. 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,600 It doesn't narration of it and they do a lot of interviews. 31 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,000 I thought it was really well done, well done documentary on 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000 the subject to skunk Apes with some pretty fascinating cases in 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,300 there. Now goes on here from this first 34 00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:54,900 article that we're looking at comes out of West Palm, 35 00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:58,500 Beach.com. And the title says the skunk ape 36 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,300 Florida's Bigfoot. It begins by saying for 37 00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:07,200 centuries Florida's Seminoles called from called them the St 38 00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:11,100 kept cocky are tall man. Today they are known as the 39 00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,900 skunk ape and Palm Beach County has had its fair share of 40 00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:18,500 sightings understandably. Most people are skeptical that 41 00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:22,600 such a creature ever existed sightings peaked in the 1970s. 42 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,700 Is residential construction began encroaching on their 43 00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:28,800 habitat, driving them further into the Everglades. 44 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,300 Regardless, some of these sightings were very credible. 45 00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:36,000 The average skunk ape has a Shaggy reddish dark brown hair 46 00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,400 stands approximately, seven feet tall and weighs in the vicinity 47 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,500 of 400 to 500 pounds.

While it is true, that many 209 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600 sightings have described the creature as resembling an 210 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,700 orangutan. The average orangutan stands, 211 00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:04,400 only four and a half feet tall and weighs less than 200 pounds. 212 00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:07,800 Many of these skunk Apes have been reported to be at least 213 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,600 seven feet in height. It would also not explain why a 214 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,600 tall swamp creature known as the Aztecs Pocky has been seen by 215 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,200 the Seminole Holes in the Everglades for over 200 years, 216 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,500 pretty pretty neat article there. 217 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Now, we have another article on the same subject here of the the 218 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,500 skunk apes.

This is also linked at the 222 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000 website UFO morning.com. Let's see here. 223 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800 It says while some of the swamp has been opened up today with 224 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,900 modern roads and guided tours, it was different back in 1829. 225 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,900 When a group of men had a fatal encounter with what could only 226 00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:18,500 be described as a giant Bigfoot. It says two men that lived in 227 00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,700 the outer area of the Okefenokee decided to explore into the 228 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:25,300 swamp. After a couple of weeks, the men 229 00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,800 were shocked by what they saw Footprints. 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,000 Um, 18 inches long, and 9 inches wide. 231 00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,700 The men quickly headed for home fearing. 232 00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:34,400 The Beast that was responsible for the gigantic Prince. 233 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200 The two men told their strange story to others living in the 234 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,900 swamp. And soon a group of seven, men 235 00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,100 decided to go back into the swamp to hunt down the creature, 236 00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,500 after a couple of weeks group was at the spot. 237 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,900 Where the two men found the giant print. 238 00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:51,200 It was still there is it was late in the day, the men settled 239 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,100 in planning to continue the hunt for the following day in this. 240 00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,700 And then in seconds, the gigantic Beach Beast was in 241 00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,400 their Camp, exploding out of dense vegetation, a creature, 242 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,200 some 13 feet tall, and covered with hair, the men grabbed their 243 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,200 weapons and opened fire. Although wounded the creature 244 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,600 continued on a tack. The man five of the seven men 245 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,800 were killed the creature. Then collapse mortally wounded 246 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:18,200 as the to Divers looked on the dying, be slit, let out a 247 00:14:18,208 --> 00:14:20,600 terrifying. Screams the two men, feared, the 248 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,100 screens would attract more of the creatures flood, the area at 249 00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:26,100 leaving their fall and fellow Hunters behind the truth of this 250 00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:29,300 report can never be known. It may have been written for 251 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,000 entertainment purposes, but if it is 1 it, but if it is true, 252 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,100 it is one of the earliest written reports of encounter 253 00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:39,000 with a bigfoot-type creature by non-native American, and that is 254 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,700 the kind of that. It's been floating around there 255 00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:43,500 for some time. Of course, the problem with the 256 00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:46,700 older accounts like that, unless you have, you know, more names 257 00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:49,200 dates and places are really hard to verify, but I thought it was 258 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,900 kind of interesting used to throw that in there. 259 00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:53,100 It kind of adds a little bit to the lure. 260 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,100 Now I want to look at one one more article here that the 261 00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:04,100 subject is so fascinating to me. This one comes from BFRO dotnet 262 00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:06,900 and then it's a Bigfoot research organization. 263 00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:11,800 I believe dotnet also linked at the website UFO warning.com and 264 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:17,200 this is real.

And so him and a co-worker were 331 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:16,500 out in a pickup truck. And he said, one of their jobs 332 00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,500 was after one of these first went through was to go. 333 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,500 In and pick up any dead animals off the road, basically, that's 334 00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:26,700 a had died from smoke, inhalation. 335 00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:30,200 Or if they were to find one there that was distressed and I 336 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,000 thought they could say that would bring it back and they 337 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,200 would, you know, try to perform Medical Services to the Critter 338 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,700 to get it back.

You want to brush card is like 342 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:54,300 basically just big steel pipes in the front of that truck that 343 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,700 in case you hit a deer you pushed your brush or something. 344 00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:59,400 It doesn't doesn't damage your radiator that much. 345 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:03,400 And so of course when they hit this 8 that Rush guard took all 346 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,200 of the took all of the impact and save the truck from being 347 00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:10,700 totaled. So anyway they knock this thing 348 00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,300 down and turns out it's a small one. 349 00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:15,000 I think it was like four or five foot tall. 350 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Maybe they thought maybe they killed a person. 351 00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:18,600 They didn't know. I mean, it first. 352 00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:20,400 Yeah. But obviously, when we looked at 353 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,600 it wasn't, you know, they said they could tell it wasn't a 354 00:20:22,608 --> 00:20:24,400 bear. I could tell it wasn't a monkey. 355 00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:28,300 So as I recall, they loaded the thing up the back of the truck, 356 00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:33,000 finally, and they took it back to the office or whatever. 357 00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,900 And the next thing, you know, they're in an interrogation room 358 00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:40,500 with a couple of basically Men In Black and these guys 3M. 359 00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:43,300 I think take them back out to the site of where it happened 360 00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:47,200 and just more or less threatened them and told them, hey, you 361 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,600 know, you're not going to talk about this again. 362 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,500 When you hit was a bear, you know, this Bigfoot talk is going 363 00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:56,600 to stop and just more or less you know put it out there and 364 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,900 they're pretty in a pretty violent way actually there 365 00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:01,900 anyway and they talk about, you know that situation. 366 00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,900 It makes you wonder will you know, what will they have to 367 00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:06,800 cover up? Why would they even care? 368 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,600 If there's some there's some connection here with a deep 369 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,500 state which got me to thinking about a story that Stroud 370 00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:17,600 himself touched on a little bit you say you don't want to get 371 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,600 into it, but he did mention it. And I think it's pretty 372 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,400 fascinating really on one of the episodes I watched with him, he 373 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,000 was up on a mountain. I try to make contact with you 374 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,100 sayings, which you basically did make contact because he had some 375 00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:32,700 apples Cleopatra's disappeared. There's no way that there was a 376 00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:35,200 bear Broder anything like that to me some really strange stuff 377 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,100 it happened but he said that night on the mountain Four 378 00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,800 lights were just off the distance suspended and he said 379 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000 they weren't like there were. I think, what we would call orbs 380 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,900 basically, and he said, they weren't airplanes. 381 00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,900 He said, if they were airplanes, that would have been the size of 382 00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:51,800 a football field. You know? 383 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,600 I mean, they were just enormous. And then the next day they had 384 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:01,900 these, these, you know, Bigfoot, well, suspected Bigfoot 385 00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:06,600 encounter, and I think, I think less was almost a little bit 386 00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,700 hesitant to make it possible. Section there between, although 387 00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:16,900 he did mention it, between Bigfoot and ET, your Bigfoot in 388 00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:20,800 any kind of extradimensional, interdimensional type stuff. 389 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,300 But you see this, come up and up again. 390 00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,300 And what I guess what I'm a little bit unsure about is some 391 00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:29,700 of the some of the accounts you read a people shooting these 392 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,900 things. They do show, physical wounds, 393 00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,600 it act wounded, they act hurt the ACT is or they've been 394 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,100 physically injured and then in other cases you hear, they say 395 00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,000 well I shot the thing. And I just like it exploded into 396 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,300 a blue blaze of light or something. 397 00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:47,700 It's whether it's almost, you know, you're getting two 398 00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:51,100 separate types of accounts here one that they're somehow 399 00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,300 physical and one that there's some of them metaphysical. 400 00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:57,500 But either way it just like when you had the art with the head, 401 00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,300 the article talking about the one there in the Everglades, 402 00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:02,600 where it was coming up behind the house, and these kids were 403 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,000 home, the things, walk all over the place, and you go outside 404 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,500 the next day and there's no sign of it. 405 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,700 But you would suspect, it was walking around your yard. 406 00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:12,100 There be some Cracks you suspect that if this creature is 407 00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:15,600 actually physical, but if it's metaphysical, maybe not. 408 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,600 And that's what I think I find them was fascinating about this 409 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,800 when this Bigfoot thing is that it just, it just crosses the 410 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,500 lines crosses lines all over the place and, and it crosses the 411 00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:30,000 lines is behaviors across those lines and evidence left behind, 412 00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:33,200 and it's like Straw Hat. Straw pointed out, you know, 413 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,300 there's been a bunch of DNA tested on these things and a lot 414 00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:41,100 of his come back inconclusive. It's come back primate. 415 00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,200 They had one come back, 95% human-like. 416 00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:47,200 The last time I checked the chimpanzee was like, 97 % human. 417 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,300 I mean, to say, but, but from the lab, you know, the feeling 418 00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:53,400 you get is like, oh well, it's 95% human. 419 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,000 So, you know, that just means is front person. 420 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,400 It's got some contamination in it. 421 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,300 That's not it at all. You're not telling us what it 422 00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:01,200 is. You're telling us that it's 423 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,600 something human-like. But, you know, even a coconut or 424 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,300 a pineapple is going to have some common DNA with a human. 425 00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:09,500 So let's be real here, not right? 426 00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,300 Telling us anything what you're telling us is that it's not, 427 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:14,400 it's non-human, that's what you're telling us. 428 00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,500 I mean, if we depend on these labs to determine whether or not 429 00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:20,700 somebody faces the death penalty, I mean, if they're, if 430 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,600 they're making decisions that important, it should be able to 431 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,500 tell us whether or not a suspected Bigfoot, blood sample 432 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,700 comes back as human or Not, Human not just come back and 433 00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:35,500 say, well, it's 95% human. It's not good enough. 434 00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:38,900 I mean you're the same lab that we're using to determine if 435 00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:41,700 somebody lives or dies in a murder case you can do better 436 00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:44,000 than that. You can tell us what is this 437 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,900 thing? Is it human? 438 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,000 Or is it not human and not telling us that it's 95% humans. 439 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,500 Not good enough, not in my opinion. 440 00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:54,700 Just that's that's like refusing to admit that you don't know 441 00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:56,000 what it is. Okay? 442 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,400 And if you can't determine what it is and why are we depending 443 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,800 upon you determine the guilt or innocence, somebody can be 444 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,900 facing the death penalty. Your life in prison really? 445 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,600 I mean it's just we have a real epidemic in this country of 446 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,000 people not wanting to apply the scientific method of thought, 447 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,400 two things that really need it. There's plenty of things that we 448 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,200 can that we can apply our opinion to or our own personal 449 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,100 thinking to, I mean, but when it comes to things where we're 450 00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:32,200 talking about We're talking about evidence-based stuff. 451 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,400 We should do a lot better job of applying the scientific method 452 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,600 of things doing our very best to make sure that we rule out 453 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,000 mistakes doing our very best to make sure that our opinions 454 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,500 aren't clouding. The evidence. 455 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,100 We saw that happen. A lot. 456 00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:49,900 This covid thing, wear a mask wear masks. 457 00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,000 Where's the scientific evidence? Show us the studies. 458 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,700 I see the same thing happening with this Bigfoot thing. 459 00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:59,200 People are Faithfully sitting in these Bigfoot samples, but we're 460 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,200 not really getting the answers back that we deserve, you know, 461 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,900 are they? Are they forming a base of the 462 00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:09,400 samples so we can find commonalities so they can say oh 463 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,300 yeah, this is a Bigfoot sample. We don't have one alive but we 464 00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:17,600 know this is the same DNA that came in the last five samples 465 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,200 are. They just blowing us off and 466 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,800 saying, oh, it's 95% human doesn't mean anything. 467 00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:27,300 But just this we don't know anything more now than we did 468 00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:32,700 before you tested it. And secondly, it's interesting 469 00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:34,400 to see a lot of these groups, you know, really getting out 470 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,900 there in the woods and trying to make contact and stuff. 471 00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,900 But I'm not sure how much good they're doing other than just, 472 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,100 maybe raising some awareness of it. 473 00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:46,000 But at the same time, there is some room for investigation 474 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,500 here, you know, dr. Greer seems to think somehow 475 00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,000 that I think you mentioned something about the Deep State 476 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,400 being connected with this phenomena. 477 00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,100 Maybe, I mean, who knows? Maybe this thing's been around 478 00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,800 for Generations since the Native Americans have believed in him 479 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,700 for thousands of years, but you No, maybe it's a phenomenon has 480 00:27:01,708 --> 00:27:05,100 been around long enough. That doesn't mean that actors in 481 00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:09,900 the Deep State couldn't have somehow try to corrupt this 482 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,800 thing or get in contact with it or you to use this phenomena to 483 00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,300 their advantage, some kind of super soldier, who knows but 484 00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:19,800 there's lots of information on lots of encounters and that's 485 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,300 probably kind of funnest thing about this. 486 00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:24,000 It seems like the encounters make the newspapers a lot more 487 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,800 of these and people seem to do people seem to do a little 488 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,500 better job. It's a little easier for them to 489 00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:31,400 explain. What happened? 490 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,400 Because they see this Bigfoot of the skunk ape or whatever you 491 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600 want to call it, and they're able to think of it in physical 492 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,000 terms. So, their mind is able to 493 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,500 actually create a narrative that we can that we can communicate 494 00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:47,100 to each other. It's not something that's so far 495 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:50,300 out there with like some of these UFO encounters that it 496 00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:54,100 almost defies an explanation. And so that makes that makes for 497 00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:55,500 some good reading. Actually. 498 00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:00,700 Until next time, though, this is you with a warning Over now.
