Expedition Bigfoot season 4

 

 Yes folks,  Expedition Bigfoot season 4 or the "did you hear that?" show returns for a new season, why is the question....

 Yet again the last season ended with them getting close to finding a bigfoot then..... bang, saeson finishes and they move to a new location.  Why move if your getting close?  makes no sense.

This time they are in Alaska, east oif  Klawock Lake, Prince of Wales Island.  The show has them bush wacking for miles to get to an upsidedown tree, the tree is about 50 foot off a logging road, you could drive there.

This year we have a new tag line, "did you hear that?" is now changing to "did you smell tha?t" thet'll spoiil the old drinking game on the bigfoot forums where you took a shot each time you heard "did you hear that?" said by a cast member.

 So what will we learn this time?  Bugger all I suspect, same as the last three series. Every time to claim to get close to the action the series finishes and they move.

 This year it's worse than ever.  The series looks more scripted and faker than usual.  I still really cant understand why nobody is making a proper real show looking for evidence of bigfoot.

 The potential for finding the holy grail of criptids is there.  If bigfoot exists the person finding it will be famous, they'll make a ton of money.  Yet nobody tv wise seems to take it seriously.

 Sending a group of... lets be nice and say idiots out for a week or two isnt going to cut it.  You need pros, ex special forces, people who can move quietly and live for weeks or months at a time in the bush, no talking or smoking, no phone calls, no cooking , no washing.  You can smell soap a fair way off.  

That way the local wildlife will ignore you and if your in the right area sooner or later you'll see what is there, a big animal needs food and water every day, they will hunt or forage and they'll look for water..

 It's not difficult, boring yes, uncomfortable yes but the reward is there.

TV companies my offer still stands.  Pay my fair and expensise and my own team will go and find more than this lot will.

A spider, a daddy long legs and a sky or two.

 

 Yes I know the title sounds like a new book from C.S.Lewis (the lion the witch and the wardrobe) but it's not.  It's a few more random pics taken on the TZ80.

 I really need to get out shooting proper pics, but I'm feeling down again at the moment, and find it hard to motivate myself.

In the news this week.

 

 The Mexican press have been given access to an "alien" body by officials, the body was found in a mine.

 A woman was killed in an accident involving an aircraft, not unusual you say.  This poor woman was hit by the wing of an aircraft landing whilst she walked on the runway.

 Scientists have discovered the signs of life on another planet.  A chemical only produced by life here on earth was detected.  One tiny issue... it's a 120 light years away, and thats a problem.  At out best fastest spacecraft it would take around a 160.000 years to cover just 4 light years .  Better cancel the milk and papers if you set of for there then, oh and take a book to read on the way.

BBC news bias?

 

 News headline on the BBC website today Russian airliner forced to land in open field.  The true story is a Russian owned airline Airbus A300 crash landed after a hydraulic problem,  The aircraft had a 170 people on board all survived and the aircraft looked intact.  All in all a bloody good landing.

Note to BBC Airbus isnt Russian made.  It's co-owned by the German-French-Spanish European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS), with an 80% interest, and Britain's BAE Systems, with 20%.

 The headline gives the impression a dodgy Russian plane had to land in a field.  Not a European made  aircraft had a fault and the crew did an amazing job making a safe landing.  If that had happened in the west the headline would be hero crew save 170 lives.
