There's some genuinely weird shit unexplained, I'll give you that. Unlike Bigfoot, where you can look at a map of the historical range of bears and see it exactly matches where all the Bigfoot sightings are.

I dunno. I think the fact that these sightings are always from sleep deprived individuals describing things at the far end of their range of detection (whether that's 5 miles away with the Mk 1 eyeball or 500 miles away with classified superradar) suggests a pretty clear pattern.

It probably is both. Up for debate the ratio.

People claim to see Bigfoot creatures in the Mississippi Delta and Florida... Even Scotland. None of these are much noted for their bears.

The US South has bears.

There are some outliers (like Hawaii, or the 2 sightings in my local forest preserve) which cannot be bears, but what you will find is there is way more bear populations wandering around than you realize.

The trend is pretty clear.

People claim to see these things in Australia and New Zealand. Not many bears round there. I don't count koalas in Oz as bears.

You forget about drop bears

>I'm not arguing a position on the theory, just saying it's very active and has the old-school qualities that were present in the 90's.

Just to go off of this.. I'm not saying it was aliens.... but it was aliens.
