The Falcon Project is a blimp, 35 feet long and holds 1800 cubic feet of helium.It is run on electric batteries and is remote-controlled from the ground.The batteries will enable it to be airborne for five hours at a time, and can cover about a five mile area.The thermal-imaging cameras are the newest in 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 such as California,Oregon, Washington,Texas,Arkansas,and Florida.
Having seen the creature with his own two eyes, Barnes is convinced there is something to the stories,and is determined to set out in July to capture photographic proof of the creature.To help rally support around the investigation, Barnes set up a website (www.bigfoot24-7.com) and described his search as “the most penetrating search for Sasquatch/Bigfoot ever conducted in North America.”The man behind this blimp effort is William Barnes.From his website, Barnes wrote, “As a weekend goldminer 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. Barnes will begin his study in the Kalamuth valley in California. Join us on Nite Callers Radio for a most interesting guest as we welcome William Barnes as he tells us about the “Falcon Project.”
