A "mythical" creature to most, the ageless stories of large, hairy, man-like beasts that resemble an ape.... living reclusively in the wilderness and forests of North America, have permeated our imaginations with a curiousity that has defied all efforts to prove its existence.
Yet to those of us who have actually seen it, either by coincidence, or accident, are left with an overwhelming desire to discover and share this magnificent creature with the world. Many have made laudible efforts to film it, follow it by tracks, search for bones, and unfortunately, countless fraudulent claims have also been made.
As a " weekend gold miner" in Northern California, I had such a creature walk up to my tent, so close I could have touched it, and then walk past me and up the side of the hill. Since that night by the creek, I have pondered for years, about how one could be filmed for any length of time, and how it could be studied in it's own safe, habitat.
Since films and "evidence" are easy to fake, real footage with clarity, that is; lengthy enough to be studied by scientists and other qualified professionals, would be the ultimate goal. A documentary following the building of the blimp, infrared cameras, volunteers working on various projects, with clear images of the creature and it's movements, would be the ultimate outcome.
Since this website was launched, expert technicians have blessed this project toward a remote-controlled, dual-airship, 35 feet long, with a patented propulsion system, run by a very quiet gas engine that will keep the blimp up for five hours, and for a five mile radius.
The thermal- imaging cameras are the newest in today's technology, and are the same as the ones being used by the military. The infra-red camera can portray an image in the dark, as clearly as though it were in daylight.
The territory to explore, are spots that have traditionally been known for their multiple sightings. The target states for filming are Northern California,
Oregon, Washington, Texas, Arkansas, and Florida,( in search of the "Skunk Ape.")
Thanks Jason...and thanks for the gorgeous

I have been very abundantly blessed with well-qualified volunteers who are expert in the fields that are needed. If one of them has to back out for any reason, I will post a request to fill that position.
