Watching Bigfoot

  Recently Dr. Jeff Meldrum from Idaho State University was mentioned in regard to the Falcon Project in which he would use drones with cameras to look for and video Bigfoot. It appears that William Barnes began the same project after he saw a Bigfoot and had his life changed. He was a weekend gold prospector and had gone out to his site, set camp, and was waiting for his buddies to show up. Suddenly, he heard a Bigfoot walk up to his tent and stand only three feet from him. William Barnes hit upon the idea of using a 35 foot blimp that could hover and would house infra-red cameras and audio equipment. It would fly at night, and he wanted to start on the Bigfoot famous Klamanth River and eventually cover thirteen Bigfoot rich states. The problem was money, and Barnes hoped for donations including the very unlikely Russia. The last I've read is that he's accumulated little of the projected $350,000 necessary to begin. Meldrum's drones will be cheaper, and they can operate in the daylight with no fear of being downed by pot-shots. Peter Nickerson 352-359-0850
