Dr. Jeff Meldrum & William Barnes On The Aerial Drone Hunt For Sasquatch

Jeff Meldrum and William Barnes on the aerial drone hunt for Sasquatch

How exactly did Sasquatch get intertwined into this project and what researchers are involved?

Sasquatch was always integral to the proposal, but the technology will certainly have other interesting applications. We have been in communication with foresters about employing the aerial thermal imaging to collect data on forest health, and insect infestation. Conservation groups have contacted us about the prospect of utilizing the Aurora to survey for other rare and/or endangered species.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology at Idaho State University was contacted about the possibility of operating the project through the oversight of the university as research and educational project. The proposal was approved in principle and an account was set up with the ISU Foundation to receive and manage donations for the Falcon Project.

A panel was constituted to vet all evidence gathered by the Falcon Project. Under the direction of Dr. Meldrum, it includes Ian Redmond (primatologist), Dr. Jim Halfpenny (tracker, naturalist), Dr, John Bindernagel (wildlife biologist), John Mionczynski (wildlife consultant, ethobotanist), Bill Munns (film analyst, photgrammetrist), Peter Aniello (GIS specialist).

What is the main goal of the project exactly when it comes to Sasquatch? Is it to capture one and if so how exactly?

The initial goal is to systematically identify a sasquatch from the air, and confirm by coordinated ground verification teams, involving Derek Randles and RidgeWalkers Unlimited, and track and document its movements and behavior. Detection from air will be confirmed by the collection of trace and possibly physical evidence from on the ground. We are optimistic that the surveillance technologies with permit the capture of definitive images of the species. Once this is accomplished, we would undertake to deliver a subdermal tracking device. No capture is contemplated at this point.

Who exactly will be going out on the flyby missions and how many people can the vehicle hold at once?

The Aurora is an unmanned drone, piloted remotely from a mobile command center.

So what are some of your personal thoughts on Bigfoot. Were you strictly all about the aerial vehicle at first then Bigfoot got introduced to the project?

The Falcon project was born of the curiosity over the enigmatic encounters with the legendary sasquatch, i.e.with something “that is not supposed to be there.” Sasquatch represents one of those remaining mysteries that lurks in the depths of the forests. It may be a creature more human-like than any previously discovered. It is clearly one of the most intriguing natural history mysteries on Earth.
