The Trail Camera Dilemma

In the world of Sasquatch research, there are many topics that are taboo. Many other organizations and scientists will not talk about them for fear of ridicule. At S.I.R., we promised to show you all the evidence all the time. This is one of those mysteries.

Trail Cam #1

Our two 1430 Infrared stealth cameras were placed strategically at a known crossing point across a stream. They are camouflaged with pine branches to maximize their effectiveness. Both cameras are checked daily, to check for photos and to make sure they are in proper working order.

In this sequence there are two units in play that are facing each other. One unit is equipped with a 12 volt stealth cam battery and the other unit with 6 Duracell C batteries.

After a very eventful Tuesday that was full of weird happenings at camp, both cameras tripped at the creek on Wednesday morning the 18th of August in daylight conditions. All 9 burst sequences had whited out on both units, and we have no idea why.

One large foot print seems to indicate we should have had success in catching whatever triggered the cameras. We thought we had caught a Sasquatch on camera from 2 angles. Instead we had 9 bursts of photos on both cameras of white frames.

Trail Cam #1 & #2 had 36 photos each. 9 each white and the rest were of us checking them daily going in and out of the small ravine.

Trail Cam #1’s camera with the batteries was working, but stopped at 36 frames.Trail Cam #2’s 12 volt battery was completely dead. This battery should last 3 months or at minimum 100’s of photos per the manufacturer.

Sasquatch Picture Camera West Going
The first and last pictures from each trailcam are shown, so that you can see how long the burst of photos lasted… 87 seconds and 22 seconds respectively.

Once again we caught nothing. This has happened to us before in this area many times. For us, the frustration and mystery continues…

The second two photos in the sequence that are whited out is from the camera facing east in the ravine under a large canopy of trees crossing a small stream.

The camera tripped at 07:36 am. The cameras are set in a nine burst pattern every three seconds. All nine whited out as indicated on the camera facing east. The track line came in from the west heading east, so this photo should have caught the back of the offender as he or she passed by. This is the camera with 6 “C” batteries that were still working stopped at 36 exposures.

The second camera is facing west and is about 30 yards from camera one. It tripped at 07:39 am or almost 2 minutes later, which indicates the individual stopped for some reason. We think to assess the situation, but that is speculation only. They second camera facing west shows the anomaly of temperature, which we cannot account for. The first shot shows a temperature of 55 degrees. 9 bursts of 3 seconds each later it is back to the ambient temperature of 51 degrees. This 4 degree anomaly is unaccounted for and appears unnatural. This camera would have caught the forward view of the culprit as it crossed the stream headed east.

Plus, remember the camera facing west was on a fully charged stealth cam 12 volt battery that was dead as well. It is usually good for up to 3 months in the field. It lasted less than 3 days and 36 photos only. We can only speculate the two are connected. Please note the sun is not a factor here, which rises in the east. A large mountain is just east of this location. It is shaded even in mid day under a large canopy of huge pines. We have no explanation for this phenomenon, but in our eyes they seem to be related and are worth noting.


Trail Cam #2

Sasquatch research is not black and white, but has many shades of gray. We as investigators have been fortunate enough to have experienced many of these gray areas. Equipment failure is common. We have missed more than we have caught to be honest with you.

It is a frustrating hobby made even more frustrating by the fact that most of the rest of our colleagues are afraid to discuss these topics openly. In our eyes, this is holding back progress.

Science works on facts and we understand this, but speculation and openness is integral if we are to be successful collectively in our endeavor to prove these magnificent creature’s exist. It’s okay for Stephen Hawking to speculate on Black Holes, although he has never visited one. It was okay for Einstein to test the limits of Physics and from it came the theory of Relativity.

We are not sure if it’s infrasound, we are not sure if it’s sonar, but since mammals already exhibit these traits, which we feel make these the mostly like candidates for this strange phenomenon. Whatever it is it can physically effect you in ways we as a group do not understand.

Here is the proof that something strange is going on. Now we ask that you open your eyes and your mind to the possibilities that there is more to these forest friends of ours than we know. And maybe, just maybe that’s why it has been so difficult to prove they exist.

This is the meat pit as it existed in 2009. Please note one of our colleagues is attending to a stealth camera on the tree closest the downed log.

Sasquatch Picture Camera East Going

We used to place the stealth cameras nightly on the meat in 2009. There is a second stealth camera in the tree in the center of the photo, which is very important to note as it pertains to the next photo and is of great importance.

Bigfoot Trailcam Dilemma 3

The last photo shows the meat pit in 2010 as we found it. If you notice the large, healthy tree in the center of the photo that we used to place our stealth camera on in 2009 is down over our 2009 feeding station on the old log.

Sasquatch Meat Pit Area

This basically rendering our 2009 feeding station of old useless. It is broken at about 7 feet. This tree sits in the center circle of many trees surrounded on all sides and is not the tallest tree either.

It fell perfectly over our feeding station. Coincidence, I don’t know, what I do know is the force’s required to bring that tree down on our feeding station are beyond my comprehension.

No other trees dead or alive had fallen in this area. I will let you be the judge of what happened here.


Recently on an outing in NW Colorado, Brad Corless, Scott Barta and I had an interesting experience in camp. These trail cam videos are the result of that.

Recently on an outing in NW Colorado, Brad Corless, Scott Barta and I had an interesting experience in camp. These trail cam videos are the result of that.

The day begins like this. I got up late and cleaned up camp. I picked up a few pop cans and such and put them in a trash bag. We always tie the trash bag to a tree, so there is only a small opening forward.

After I cleaned up camp, I ate a banana as I was cramping up from a long hike the previous day. I put the peel all the way down in the bag and then went to the rest room. After about 10 minutes, I returned and began cleaning up again.

I went to put more trash in the bag and the peel was 1/2 pulled out. We always stick all the trash down in the bag, so I knew this wasn’t right.

Brad C had a suggestion as a result of my curious find, which I was open to. He knows I am somewhat anti game cam because of past problems, but he talked me into giving it a try during the day with no IR. This being the case, I agreed.

He had two units different from ours, which I thought would make an interesting experience. He installed one at about 5 feet high and 15 feet from the camera in a tree. Then we left it all day.

The first video is of a small marten/weasel type animal we captured running in and out of the video nervously. This video lasted 29 seconds.

The second is unknown. Some think its a shape and others a hand. It last only one second, which is really odd. One second only. The camera was set at video and it is motion activated, so it captures all that moves in front of it.

These two videos are all we caught. We after scratching our heads once again have decided to show you the evidence. There were no other campers at all. We didn’t see any from Monday through Wednesday until we moved camp. It’s just another dilemma, we thought you should see and judge what it is for yourself what happened here.

Thanks, Brad, Scott and Mike-SIR


On 6/30/2013 these 3 videos were obtained in sequence at our NW Colorado location.

We tried the Stealth Cam on a different setting. We ran the camera on video mode instead of the 9 burst mode. We left the camera armed and set in the back of the tent with 10 second video shot.

This is what we found when we returned after 5 hours in the field. We find it strange and unexplainable.

Video one was taken at 12:52pm that day. The camera is being activated by the wind and is working properly.

Video two was taken at 01:43 Pm. The door is clearly obscured. Please also note items seem to disappear in the sides of the frame over time.

Video three was taken at 1:55pm. The camera once again is working fine and was triggered by wind. My thoughts on this. Some of you may find this controversial, but it was has been my experience in the field and after studying many videos and pictures from throughout Colorado.

VIDEO NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE, MARKED PRIVATE https:///www.youtube.com/v/gUrvUVSgDus

If we are to get to the truth, we must discuss all the evidence. The flapping of the tent flaps attracted one of our friends and they came and took a peak inside while we were away is my thought.

This white out sequence is an unknown defense mode they may possess. The camera works fine before and after the event. It could be light, it could be energy, it could be electricity.

I do not know, but I do know it is found frequently in photos and videos inside and outside of our organization pertaining to the Sasquatch. All of these traits listed above are found naturally in the Animal Kingdom.

If you look at Ron Petersen’s photo closely, you see a white face in the back ground on what would be a bigger individual.

We at SIR, believe this may not by accident. We have seen and been sent other videos and pictures from Colorado exhibiting this same phenomenon.

You be the judge, we are just showing you the evidence we have collected. It is consistent over time. There is obviously a lot more going on here than we expected and this may help explain why their existence has not been so easy to solve.

  1. My name is Brett Allen, I have been researching the “paranormal” (hauntings, Sasquatch, UFOs) for longer than most have been alive, I was raised with a gun in my hands, in the woods. In the mid ’70s, after my first UFO sighting in NYS Hudson Valley during the famous Hudson Valley flap (featured on the cover of world famous UFO Magazine) wI began to notice these off wood structures in the forest while coon hunting. In 198o, we found a a print in NY’s Warren County, while Ice Fishing. It was 5:30am on frozen Loon Lake, the print was on on a small patch of snow during a a particularly squally morning… meaning what ever left it, was there only minutes before us. The lake is in the Adirondacks @ 40 miles from Whitehall. That summer we’d been up on a nearby mt on horseback… when I got the eeriest feeling, that made me retreat. Our camp was on a powerline off the pristine Hudson River. We’d had a drunken hollering contest around the fire before bed. About 3am, my trailer was hit with a rock, then the “whoops” started. You should check out a couple Youtube videos,by poster “aboxofmonsters” here’s the link… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E6ZXL2zpZY Anyway, I have been in the woods my whole life, raised wit ha gun, teaching rifle range for the Boy Scouts, archery, even rode the mts on horseback. I now live in the Afdk Park, America’s largest wilderness park, and own a property on a mt. lake with 3 fish spawns and several Oaks. Since then, I have researched these phenomena, and immediately noticed that hauntings, UFOs and Sasquatch, in many cases, all seem to manifest similar EM anomalies on our technology: draining batteries, confounding electronics, cameras, lights, etc, even “those odd feelings” so many discount. I have personally had many odd experiences. from knocks, to voices in the woods, “monkey chatter” dark bipedal shape running up the mt. side. About 2010, during a walleye spawn, on a black moonless night, I took my dogs out to check the spawn. I’d heard knocks for several days venturing outside. Even watched my dogs go nuts chasing and snapping at something in the creek I couldn’t see. That night, I felt like something was above me in a tree, it sounded huge, and when it growled at me, suddenly I was incapacitated. It took about 10sec for my ability to move to come back and I scrambled for my feet; my dogs way ahead of me. I have heard this from many people. I was Crash Fire and Rescue, as well as Head of Security and a Body Guard, I don’t scare easily or faint. I have no idea what happened. Infrasound? Something else? So many researchers discount the most informed source we have on these creatures – Native Americans. They say these are beings that are part spirit (demons,gods, cannibals, stealers of women and children, ELDER BROTHER OF MAN) all descriptions eerily similar to those in Genesis. Few realize how much of the Bible has been proven archaeologically… even Goliath. There is growing evidence the Phoenicians came to America; Phoenicians are Canaanites – Canaan was home to the 36 tribes of Nephilim giants that survived the flood. Esau was born covered in thick red hair, all over, like a pelt. He was wildman, a great hunter. So why doesn’t anyone understand… Wlldmen were painstakingly carved into Cathedral walls, because they were SCARED beings! Check out the link, you have similar experience. Also, we also have many striking orb photos as well. It’s sad that so many researchers do not cross genres; as they would know that Paranormal investigation is proving there is indeed a “spirit” realm or “underworld” – the unseen wavelengths of the IR and the UV visible to insects and some mammals. There are amazing images of moving “flying orbs”, apparitions, anthropomorphic shapes, etc. They have also introduced 3d image motion capture software with sensor arrays to astounding results. Check out the link… tell him I sent ya. Incredibly, all this matches up with Native American belief that far too many Bigfoot researchers simply ignore. Remember, there is no scientific proof the “paranormal” does not exist – only the word of your parents. Many do not even know that Science has NEVER explored the issue.; as hey simply discard it out of hand. Brett Allen – Cover UFO Magazine 2009.

  2. You have no idea what you are dealing with! These things you are messing with will never give you any answers. I found this out after spending years of my life investigating this and other phenomenon’s, they are all tide together. If you are truly a Christian then ask yourself this, do you think God wants you to do this do you think its a coincidence that your pictures are whited out. The white man came to this country and never listened to the Native Americans, they just took and killed and true to the white mans spirit you still don’t listen, here you are trying to “help” something that never asked for your interference that you do not even comprehend but for your own selfishness which is evident thru all of your postings, you continue to persist in the unattainable. Its amazing after all these years you people still do not hear and see what the natives know. Even in the military we were told not to engage these things and to mind our own business when tracks were found or calls where made. You need to really consult God on this for I am quite certain this is not in his will but I will not speak for him and take his name in vein. look back and see how exposing the natives to western culture has helped in their demise, cant you see you are doing the same thing by posting your pictures of the things you find? Feeding them on paper plates and trading food for trinkets? You no kill people are worse than the kill people, selling bigfoot items and speaking for a tribe that you have know right to speak for! It would be better to kill one and prove to the world they exist and save the rest of the forest for them than to sit by and exploit for your own “good time” in the woods. I have almost deleted this post a few times because I know you will not listen you have invested too much and convinced yourself you are right in your actions. It takes a humble man to admit he is wrong, take a long good look in the mirror, its tough I know. My prayer for you and yours is for Gods will to be done in the end. Good luck and God bless.

  3. I agree that it is probably some sort of personal energy field. When I was young 50 years ago I couldn’t wear a watch to keep time because they would all just stop working. Even battery types would stop working 20 years ago. I am now having heart problems and my electrical field must be waning because I can now wear a watch as long as it is on top of my clothing, like hanging on a chain, and it will work. But it used to be that I couldn’t even have a watch in my pocket and it would stop working. Same thing with street lights. I could wake down a side walk and the street lights above me would go off. I know it sounds strange but that was my life till a few years ago.
