Reviews: The Bigfoot Field Reporter/Bigfoot;America's King Kong 9-18-09

Both shows were great. On The BFR, Sharon Lee and Craig Woolheater had Dr. Esteban Sarmiento as the guest, who discussed his background in primatology and his observations of primates and his work with them for over 30 years. I called in along with Abe and asked Dr. Sarmiento about the misnomer about apes swimming, which IS a misnomer, and we talked a good bit about primate behavior as well. Abe also asked various questions. Not sure what Sharon has planned for next week, but it begins at 6:00 EST/5:00 Central.

On Bigfoot: America's King Kong, the guest was former police forensics officer Jimmy Chilcutt, who discussed his expertise with fingerprinting, including applying his skills not only to human suspects, but also to primates. He also discussed how he got into using his fingerprinting expertise with Sasquatch tracks by seeing a program with Dr. Jeff Meldrum who was discussing dermal ridges, which launched Chilcutt into interest in Sasquatch dermal ridges. I called in and asked Jimmy about the Onion Mountain cast and that I had seen on a website where someone had said it looked like a butterknife was scraped on the cast or the footprint itself. He said he was not aware of that. I also discussed the work of Matt Crowley and asked Jimmy his opinion of it, as well as discussing the 20 years apart casts which had the same ridge flow texture (those were the Onion Mountain and Walla Walla Casts). Not sure what Jordy and Abe have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

The world is awash in unexplained phenomenon anymore. Bigfoot is as mysterious as crop circles and 2012.
