Bigfoot Hunting Airship To Be Launched in Utah

The newly funded airship will first be used to hunt a suspected killer

St. George [map], Utah, resident, William Barnes, was looking for investors to fund his Falcon Project. His dream is to build, essentially, an air-born evidence-collecting machine.

Plans for the airship include a camera that would ride in a rig intended to steady the camera, allowing for very steady shots of the elusive Bigfoot. (After all, the world doesn’t need any more fuzzy Bigfoot images.)

The airship itself would be able to maneuver with the kind of precision necessary to track a fast-moving animal — suspected killer who has been hiding in the mountains of southern Utah.

The needed funding has already been secured, and that milestone was announced on the Falcon Project’s Facebook Page:

The Falcon project is funded as of today, $200,000,,,,,,,,,,and we will have live steam from the field 7 nights a week, (:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the founder William Barnes

Soon after, an announcement was posted to the Project’s website explaining that the “maiden airship voyage will be to hunt down a suspected killer who has been hiding in the mountains of Southern Utah for several years. Along with helping local authorities track down this criminal, this is also a trial run for the Falcon Project’s airship.”

The person they are looking for is a mountain man who’s eluded authorities for five years. According to Times Union, this man “roams the wilderness of southern Utah, breaking into remote cabins in winter, living in luxury off hot food, alcohol and coffee before stealing provisions and vanishing into the woods.”

Armed, dangerous, and responsible for more than two dozen burglaries, police worry that the man is a “time bomb.”

Lately he has been leaving the cabins in disarray and riddled with bullets after defacing religious icons, and a recent note left behind in one cabin warned, “Get off my mountain.”

The FBI is interested in the man, because descriptions fit two different people on their Most Wanted list — one sought for the 2004 killing of an armored-truck guard in Phoenix, another for killing his wife and two children in Arizona.

Details on the technology planned for the airship are at the Project’s website.
