Bigfoot Investigator Jason Sackerson Discusses Research Findings in British Columbia

If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're probably familiar with the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Research Organization). But did you know that there's a BFRO investigator in British Columbia who's working on a fascinating project? I recently came across a video from the YouTube channel Bigfoot and Beyond Podcast, where hosts Cliff Barackman and James "Bobo" Fay interviewed Jason Sackerson, a BFRO investigator who's been out in the field quite often and has some exciting news to share.
Jason grew up in Montreal and Toronto, and his interest in Bigfoot was sparked by Leonard Nimoy's show "In Search Of" when he was young. He moved to the west coast in the 90s and started working in forestry, where he kept his interest in Bigfoot to himself due to the stigma attached to it. However, he eventually got involved with BFRO and started attending expeditions.
One piece of advice that he received from the late John Green, a renowned Bigfoot researcher, was to find a spot as close to home as possible and start working it if it supports a healthy ungulate and bear population and has historical reports. Jason took this advice to heart and started working an area near Pitt Lake, which is bordered by a Provincial Park and has a research forest run by UBC. He eventually delineated an area where sasquatches were running through regularly, and that's when he got involved with Charles Lamica, who came up to run a tracking clinic for him.
Jason and Charles have been discussing a long-term project in the area, and they've had great success so far. In fact, they've had four visuals in six expeditions in this region. Jason has also picked up the torch from Darcy Staffordshire, who used to run expeditions in BC until 2015.
But that's not all. During the interview, Jason mentioned something interesting that caught my attention - the Pineapple Express. No, not the movie, but the weather pattern. The Pineapple Express is a weather pattern that brings heavy rain from Hawaii to the west coast of North America. It's responsible for some of the wettest weather in the region, and it can cause flooding and landslides.
The Pineapple Express is a fascinating weather pattern, and it's worth learning more about. It's a type of atmospheric river, which is a narrow corridor of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere. These atmospheric rivers can transport an amount of water vapor equivalent to 10-15 times the flow of the Mississippi River. When the moisture-laden air reaches the coast, it rises and cools, causing the moisture to condense and form clouds and precipitation.
The Pineapple Express can bring heavy rain to the west coast, but it can also bring snow to the mountains. This can be beneficial for the local ecosystem, as the snow provides water for streams and rivers during the dry summer months. However, the Pineapple Express can also cause problems, such as flooding and landslides.
So, the next time you hear about the Pineapple Express, you'll know that it's not just a movie, but a real weather pattern that can bring heavy rain and snow to the west coast. And who knows, it might even bring some sasquatches out of hiding!
