Hi Folks.
Not sure why some have reverted to the namecalling, but in the message board world we all have experienced what that means.
I shall try to address some of the comments made, but have a question first.
What exactly IS a bigfooter? It's been thrown around and I'm not exactly sure what it means, though I have an idea and I think perhaps that it means that, no matter what, I'm no longer credible in a debate?
Moving on.
Missing airplanes:

Is this the area of the ice fields?

Showing that other airplanes were found during the Fosset search. This can show the argument on both sides, however, I would like to show that for some reason, large search parties were unable to locate these wreckages during the original searches.
Someone asked me to provide some examples of sightings and experiences that have not been disproven. I didn't originally provide specific examples b/c there are tens of thousands of them. Here are a few I found in a 30 second internet search. From last year...
Grayson County, Virginia – March, 2010 – 9:30 p.m.
A husband and wife, with another woman and a child, were traveling north on Rte 89 in Grayson County, Virginia when they saw the creature. The creature disappeared when he spotted them. They describe him to the police as having a black hairy body and around seven feet tall
Grants Pass, Oregon – February 24, 2010
An individual returning from Grants Pass, heading for Eureka, CA, just before dark spotted a large, dark animal crossing the road. He walked upright, fast, and on two legs. The creatures face was human with caveman like features. It was covered in black hair, hefty in build, and over nine feet tall.
Leeds, Maine – February-March 2010
Weird creature spotted in the midst of boggy lands, called Turner Triangle in Androscoggin County, Maine. No description was given.
Collier County, Florida. Early afternoon on January 18, 2010
Two friends were fishing in Picayne Stand State forest. They were walking down a trail and were brought up short when an ape stepped out of the forest. They said they saw the animal before he saw them. They backed away slowly, looked back, and saw the animal watching them from behind a tree. The animal posed no threat and seemed just as curious about them as they were about him. No mention of height or physical appearance was given.
Bexar County, Texas – December 1, 2009 – 6:30 a.m.
Responding to a 911 call, a law official went to the area the caller described. It was a wooded area with a few sub-divisions and shopping malls. Four tracks were found in the area, about thirteen and a half inches long and depressed deeply into the ground. Pictures were taken to verify prints found.
Escambia County, Florida – November 21st and 15th, 2010 – 6:00 a.m.
Individual was out hunting squirrels in Escambia County and began to walk into the woods. While walking, this individual heard a low, guttural sound, almost like a Native American dialect. He heard this sound for about ten to fifteen seconds, and then heard it again a little later.
On the 25th, He returned with his oldest daughter; again, to hunt squirrels. While in the area, they both heard someone walking. They said it sounded like another man.
Webster County, West Virginia – October 27, 2010 – one a.m.
Wooded area – A man and woman were awoken by a very strong smell; foul, like sour milk. Strong enough to keep them from getting back to sleep. The woman said she saw a shadow walking across the porch, blocking the porch light. All of these sightings were reported to interested parties and investigated. A foul smell like sour milk or sulfur, body covered in black hair, seven to nine feet tall, walked upright, large footprints, and ape-like features were the most common descriptions of the animal.
Now, moving on to fossil history. Perhaps we aren't looking in the right area for the fossils? By most peoples' arguments on here, this NORTH AMERICAN PRIMATE never existed until 2 years ago. Take special note where the remains were found as well as the scientific communities' theory on migration. I think the 'matter-of-fact' type statements about fossil records should perhaps be ratcheted back as in fact, there are primate fossils still being discovered in North America. To me, at this point, the fossil record argument has been significantly damaged.

I think folks shold be careful when making such absolute statements b/c when one can find exceptions it does indeed call into question the accuracy of other statements made.
Transitioning over to talk about the 'millions' of people that are allegedly in the woods at this very second with cameras drawn in extreme backcountry where this creature allegedly resides in the PNW. Well. Think about that.
Millions....3 million in the backcountry of OR/WA/Norhtern CA? Really? With cameras drawn to get a photo of a fleeing animal? Just think about it. 3 million people hiking with cameras ON, FOCUSED TO A SPECIFIC POINT, and AIMED? I won't hang my hat on that hypothesis.
