The Patterson-Gimlin Encounter: 1967 Bluff Creek Event: MOVIE SCREEEN PLAY BY RAY HARWOOD

Abstract: The Patterson-Gimlin film, captured on October 20, 1967, near Bluff Creek in Northern California, remains one of the most debated pieces of evidence in the study of Sasquatch. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the events surrounding the encounter, including detailed observations, eyewitness accounts, and subsequent analyses. The discussion addresses discrepancies, supporting arguments, and criticisms while contextualizing the event’s significance in the broader landscape of cryptozoology and popular culture. Introduction: The Patterson-Gimlin film is often hailed as the most compelling evidence for the existence of Sasquatch. Captured by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin during a horseback expedition along Bluff Creek, the footage allegedly depicts a large, bipedal, apelike creature—nicknamed “Patty”—walking across a sandbar. Despite extensive scrutiny, the film has neither been definitively debunked nor universally accepted. The Encounter: On October 20, 1967,...

Mission 36: Tactical Analysis of the 323rd Bomb Group, 456th Bomb Squadron’s April 3, 1945 Marauder Strike on Holzminden Marshaling Yards Abstract Mission #362, flown by the 323rd Bombardment Group, 456th Bomb Squadron on April 3, 1945, represents a critical and perilous engagement late in World War II. This mission, involving 30 Martin B-26 Marauders, targeted the Holzminden marshaling yards in Germany with the strategic objective of disrupting troop redeployment from Holland to the German divisions besieged in the Ruhr Pocket. This study synthesizes primary source recollections, technical aircraft data, operational tactics—including the use of radar countermeasure “window” aircraft—and command-level mission narratives to reconstruct and evaluate the execution and outcome of this mission. It situates the mission within the larger context of the Allied effort to isolate and destroy retreating German forces in the waning days of the European theater. 1.

B26 MARAUDER MISSSION RECEATION PROJECT # 1

08/11/44: Hello folks, not much new here but I thought I would drop you a line anyway. I mailed a package home this morning with several items in it, my trench coat , the wool liner I picked up in Ireland and also that scarf Mrs. Emerson made for me. I nearly went on my first mission today but it was scrubbed, so no soap. Just a lot of sweating for no good reason. Our flying clothes and a lot of other stuff is still some where else, we sent it on ahead and we arrived before it did. I bought some OD clothes and am wearing them, that’s why I sent some of my good clothes home, I don’t want to ruin them. My pen works a little better now, I just took it apart and cleaned it out. The damn..… thing acts up on me all the time. No mail came for any of the boys in our tent today, so I’m not the only one in a sad state of mind, on top of that we all get our shots reviewed today and I have yet to take mine. All of the boys are bitching about their sore arms and trying to scare me as they a...
