But sadly not one carcass to be ohhed n ahhed n excited bout. I reckon if big foot were real, the aftermath would have contained evidence.

    @ Troy, extreme Western Montana, I brushed 3/4" to 1 1/8 " of ash off my pickup hood. I filled a quart jar for my Father in 4 swipes of my hand. Years later, falling timber near here, we discovered that on big trees, it was best to back bar carbunckles and knots from the bottom, as the .0003 coating on a chainsaw chain is ruined with just one cut, from cutting thru the ash settled on the top of the limbs....a never forget moment.

    Thank You Sir. 🇺🇸❤️. If you know about the Sasquatch, which was in the Army’s field Guide in the 70s. And helping the Sasquatch and or seeing bodies, would really be appreciated. The public does deserve to know. Dispute what’s on TV, most ppl are ready for truth. We have had enough lies. Again, if you had encountered anything that is. Thank You again and God Bless.

      The public would have been ready on mass …for a great many truths. Ironically the CIA and a few other 3 letter agencies have been actively Dumming the heard down for decades. You can’t control the direction of the heard if the heard animals …( yes that’s how the controllers see the majority of the population ) are as smart as the shepherd 🤯 . This rabbit hole …..is multi dimensional . The old excuse that had been used for more than a century….saying the public Would fall apart if they new the truth ….is one of circular logic …. A statement that will always be true when applied to the majority of the population . The 👉 THEY 👈 have proven themselves To be untrustworthy on many occasion …..and despite the blatantly obvious Evidence. We didn’t bat an eye 👁 🤯when ‘ after decades of lie’s and deceptions Discrediting and threatening people into silence … If they told anyone that they saw A 👉 UFO 👈. But at some point around the year 2012 ? Give or take …. A Leaked Video , forced ….The military into admitting to decades of lies. Was there public outrage about being lied to 🤔 Nope ..not a peep Out of anyone 🤫…… was the world thrown into turmoil over the UFO 🛸 disclosure ? Nope 🤨 . That is more proof that the global leaders have been lying to Us all . Think about it ……in the face of so many lie’s … A normal rational thinking people , would have been outraged …..but Noooo not the 88% of the brainwashed Sheeple of earth . The other 11% of critical thinking people have been very cleverly dismissed as conspiracy theorist …. Or in our current global climate these 11% are likely to be labeled as selfish Anti vaxers . 😮 what a shock . All manipulations carried out bye the controlling 1% . The self righteous self entitled elitist ….. a wealth and power vacuum that can be traced backwards through modern history to a very select few families. Oh wait a minute 😂😅 do I sound like a conspiracy theorist 🤫🤫 do I sound like the type of crazy Nutter who believes In UFO’s or Sasquatch / cryiptids . Oh hell… I must be wrong then . I could be wrong …. I am after all a school dropout with dyslexic and have attention deficit disorder . What the heck would I know .

    My brother-in-law was there that fateful day. He said that something extremely strange was going on. He said the troops that he interacted with said the military was there to round up the surviving sasquatch.😳 He told me this many years ago,... and how the military personnel were hiding the operations they were doing. They were pointing their rifles at people trying to access a particular road that the locals lived on. Also he said the military had hundreds of cameramen running around everywhere in helicopters and vehicles. I didn't know what to think about it when he first told me. But since then his story seems to hold some validity. I've seen several documentary movies pertaining directly to this being true. Bob Gymlan's channel has a wonderful take on this subject. How they had an injured sasquatch riding around with a guy who understood there language,....riding around checking caves for surviving sasquatch. Crazy I know. But I gotta say I think I believe it.

The issue with them being relocated is a territorial problem with others like them. I believe they are similar to us in that respect. You know,....when you see some seedy looking neighbors moving in. Your probably not going to be very welcoming. Well,...some people people might be,....but apparently sasquatch IS NOT. What's really interesting was what he told me they said during the debrief.
      " Firstly we'd like to thank you for your service and help with our gentle giant friends. Just so you know,...we watch over them very closely. What you saw today is to never be uttered to anyone. If you do,..you will be court marshalled. From here on out,....you'll feel a connection to these beings no matter where you are. Just remember,....not all of them are loving and peaceful. There is a criminal element in all societies. Here's your reports to fill out. Be thorough,....and make it sound good."
      I find it pretty cool that they are protected and watched over. However that criminal element they speak of ??? That I believe the public should be made aware of somehow. I found it very interesting they said "societies". He also told me that they were given homing beacons. Easier to find I guess?? Very cool nonetheless. Hope that answered your question. Its everything I know. To the best of my memory at least. You dont just forget being told something like that I assure you.

I asked him if there was any truth to the claim that several Bigfoot corpses had been removed from the area after the eruption and he laughed and said " Not that I'm aware of . If there was I would have known about it " . He said he had seen multiple human corpses that had been evacuated and that they were all in " Bad shape " from the debris and heat . None were of a size larger than could be expected.

    Thank You for you service and I don't want to sound cliche, so I'll leave it at that. However, lol, I read a few comments. Seems some of us were expecting to hear you were involved with the rescuing of a Bigfoot, or had a story to tell about it. I apologize for that, it doesn't take away from your service ok? I live in the midwest and I remember ash from this volcanic explosion being all over my dad's motorcycle and the vehicles every morning for at least a week if not longer. A friend of the family, for whatever reason just happened to be out that way when it happened and she brought home several jars of ash, gave my folks one. I assume mom still has it. I'll have to ask. My brother sees it and it'll be in the trash lol. He goes over to clean and care for her since dad passed. Dang, I bet he's already found it. I didn't even think about it until NOW. I'm asking later today lol. Anyway, ya I too was looking to see if the BF story was real and this guy was part of it because I always called BS on that. Everyone seems to think they are so intelligent, then why would it need rescued. You know the animals sense this stuff, and flee the area. I know a lot of wildlife died. I just think a BF might have gotten away and not needed "help" if it's real, then it's lived and survived and reproduced for thousands of yrs. It's been just fine.

      I don't think these beings related to anything on earth. Must be a separate extraterrestial species with supernatural abilities and obviously a lot more advanced, bigger, faster, more resourceful smarter than us, and sounds like they can read minds, communicate via telepathy and make us sick by just looking at us. I believe that's why govt keeps them away. Otherwise there'd be no human left if they left the forests ad hunted us down making us all sick (doesn't sound like it's in their nature to do this otherwise they would have done this ages ago). If they were dangerous, harmful or had bad intentions and knew their power over us they cld easily imprison or enslave us.. I think these beings built pyramids and all these massive structures but something either scared them off to the forests or wiped most out (I wldnt say the ice age) maybe what we're seeing are the surviviors.

      leading Ketchum and her team to theorize that so-called Bigfoot is in fact the offspring of human females with as-yet-unidentified primates. The team have denied any chance of contamination within the samples.
      “While the three Sasquatch nuclear genomes aligned well with one another and showed significant homology to human chromosome 11, the Sasquatch genomes were novel and fell well outside of known ancient hominin as well as ape sequences,” says Ketchum. “Because some of the mtDNA haplogroups found in our Sasquatch samples originated as late as 13,000 years ago, we are hypothesizing that the Sasquatch are human hybrids, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.”
