A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a fascinating video from the YouTube channel, Sasquatch Odyssey - The Bigfoot Chronicles. The video, titled "Exploring Wood Apes: Encounters in Area X," shares an intriguing conversation with members of the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy (tbrc) about their recent operation, Persistence. The tbrc's Chairman, Alton Higgins, Vice Chairman, Paul Bowman, and Field Operations Coordinator, Darl Cer, discuss their experiences and the data collected during the three-month operation in Area X. Many team members went in with a 98% conviction of the species' existence and left with a 100% plus conviction. The operation was considered a great success, with members learning an enormous amount about the wood apes' habits and gaining invaluable Intel. Paul Bowman, the Vice Chairman, shares how his thoughts regarding the subject changed as a result of Persistence. Initially a 95% believer, his doubts were completely obliterated after last summer's operation, Endurance. The team was disappointed in not achieving all of their objectives; however, they left with a wealth of data and insights about the wood apes' behavior. Darl Cer, the tbrc's Field Operations Coordinator, provides details about the data collected during the operation. Eleven teams participated, each deployed for one week, replacing the previous team. The continuous three-month operation generated a vast amount of data, which the tbrc has only analyzed 10-15% of so far. The team encountered hundreds of events and cataloged them, confirming that these are not solitary animals and that they are dealing with a group of residents in a particular area. The video is a captivating insight into the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy's recent operation and the experiences of its members. I highly recommend watching the video for a deeper understanding of the team's discoveries and the data they collected. The tbrc's coordinated efforts, combining military, scientific, and marketing backgrounds, make for a unique and valuable approach to Bigfoot research.
