The "White Face" Bigfoot

Actual Still Capture From Video

In May of 2010 I was in the National Park when I began to get a strong feeling I was being watched. I had the sun at my back which made seeing the view screen almost impossible. I knew I was being watched so I began zoom in and out of the area across the ravine from my location. I made a 180 degree circle. When I returned home and reviewed the video I discovered a sort segment of video of a very pale white Bigfoot.



I find the most interesting aspect of this video the detail of the eyes. Both of the Bigfoot's eyes reflect the sun during the video. 

How Big Was That Bigfoot?

Jim McClarin developed this Sasquatch Weight Estimator. I think it will be a great tool.

Just the FACTS - Smeja/Cutino Flesh Sample Hoax

Fact: Justin Smeja submitted a piece of flesh he claimed was recovered from the area where he shot an adult and an infant Bigfoot to the Ketchum DNA Study. (Sample 26)

Fact: Bart Cutino befriended Justin Smeja.

Fact: Cutino/Smeja submitted flesh sample(s) they claim came from the same piece of recovered flesh that was sent to the Ketchum DNA Study to Trent University Lab and DNA Solutions Lab for DNA testing.

Fact: The Ketchum DNA Study reports that Sample 26 is from a Bigfoot and a full genome was extracted.

Fact: The Cutino/Smeja flesh sample(s) were tested at two different labs - Trent Univeristy and DNA Solutions of Oklahoma City OK. The results of the Cutino/Smeja flesh sample(s) came back Black Bear with human contamination.

Fact: Cutino/Smeja used these reports to launch an attack on the Ketchum DNA Study and claim that Dr. Ketchum was" hoaxing" or "making up results" since it is their assertion that all the flesh came from the same larger piece of flesh.

Fact: I wrote blogs defending the Ketchum DNA Study and provided documentation from the study and other sources to back up my position. I make the assertion in my blogs that the flesh submitted to the Ketchum DNA Project was different from the Bear/Human contaminated samples submitted by Cutino/Smeja to the Trent and DNA Solutions laboratories. I also stated my opinion on why they may have done this.

Fact: Bart Cutino accused me of "lying" and "misleading" my readers in large part because I challenged his claim that the sample submitted to the Ketchum DNA Project (Sample 26) was from the same larger flesh sample(s) later tested by labs he had contracted with. I  maintained the samples are completely different. Sample 26 is from a Bigfoot and the Cutino/Smeja Samples are from a Bear with human contamination.

Fact: DNA Solutions reports the Haplotype of the sample they tested for Cutino/Smeja is T2.

Fact: Trent University reports the Haplotype of the sample they tested for Cutino/Smeja is A.

Fact: The Ketchum DNA Study reports the Haplotype of Sample 26 (Justin Smeja Sample) is H1a.

Fact: It is IMPOSSIBLE for the flesh samples to be from the same subject!

Fact: The sample submitted by Justin Smeja to the Ketchum DNA Project IS NOT from the same piece(s) of flesh submitted to Trent or DNA Solutions labratories.

Fact: The Haplotype results from the Ketchum DNA Study for Sample 26 came from an independent university lab - University of Texas, Southwestern in Dallas, TX..

Fact: The DNA tested from Sample 26 was uncontaminated and from a single source.  (See Attachment 1 at the bottom of this blog for details)



Fact: Bart Cutino claims Trent University made a mistake in reporting the Haplotype of the sample as A.

Here is his quote "With respect to the discrepancies in hablotypes from our labs, we believe it’s pretty clear (though double-checking) that the type A mention is an error, because if you read the report they never mention “A” (which is Native American) they only discuss a “European” hablotype. Justin must be T2 because Oklahoma got both mtDNA & nDNA from him from their testing on both the salted and frozen pieces."

Interesting, since he has claimed the Ketchum DNA Project is flawed and full of errors then tries to admit his lab made a mistake and use that as an excuse for the discrepancies in the Haplotypes? Sorry Bart that dog wont hunt. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Fact: SOMEONE IS MISLEADING PEOPLE AND IT IS NOT ME!


Below are the actual excerpts from the Cutino/Smeja Lab Reports and the Ketchum DNA Study demonstrating that the Haplotypes DO NOT MATCH. 

Below are the flesh samples side by side, I will let  you be the judge.

 

In the end what the flesh looks like does not matter. It is the DNA testing and the Haplotypes that prove that the samples are not related and not from the same subject.

Bottom line Bart Cutino befriended a man that openly admitted to shooting, in cold blood, a Bigfoot adult and then shooting a defenseless infant Bigfoot. In my opinion this calls into question Bart's judgement and integrity.

For what ever reason, Cutino, Smeja, et al have attacked and attempted to mislead the public by testing Bear flesh and claiming it was from the same piece of flesh that was in the DNA study.
Even the DNA studies Cutino commissioned prove that he his hoaxing but he relies on the ignorance of the general public concerning DNA testing to get away with it.

I am not backing down and I am not going to let the critics bandy about their accusations, insults, claims, and personal slurs without a challenge. A challenge that is based on documented FACTS!


Bart I do have my FACTS straight.....


Attachment 1 - Excerpt from the Ketchum DNA Study

The run summary generated by the HiSeq 2000 next generation sequencer provides scores, Q30, for run quality​78​. Q30 can also be used to determine if there was any contamination (or mixture) found in the samples sequenced.  According to Illumina, a pure, single source sample would have an Q30 score of 80 or greater with an average of 85. However, if there was contamination present in the sample sequenced, the divergent sequences would compete against one another prior to sequencing causing a contaminated sample to have a Q30 score of 40 to 50.   The Q30 scores for the three genomes sequenced had Q30 scores of 88.6, 88.4 and 88.7 respectively for samples 26, 31 and 140.  The Q30 is the percent of the reads that have the statistical probability greater than 1:1000 of being correctly sequenced. Therefore, not only were the sequences from a single source, but the quality of the sequences were far above the average genome sequenced using the Illumina next generation sequencing platform. The high quality of the genomes can be attributed to the stringent extraction procedures utilized whereby the DNA was repeatedly purified.   This ultra-purified DNA also allowed for greater than 30X coverage of the three genomes.  The summary and of the next generation sequencing generated by the HiSeq 2000 Illumina sequencer is furnished as Supplementary Data 7-10.

Did a Major Science Journal Attempt to Sabatoge The Ketchum DNA Study?

Sketch of a DNA Donor Bigfoot

On March 15th, 2013 Robert Lindsay posted the following on his blog concerning the erroneous claims of critics that the DNA was contaminated:

"No contamination in Ketchum DNA findings. There is some little-known evidence that there is no contamination in her samples: Ketchum tested the Bigfoot nuDNA for several human genes, the names of which you can find in the manuscript. MC1R (human/Neanderthal red-hair color gene) showed up in the Bigfoot nuDNA as did the human antigen gene TAP1 (most of the time) and the jaw muscle gene MYH16 (which when present showed only a human profile rather than an ape one).
Not discussed in the manuscript are the tests Ketchum did for the TYR gene, which is associated with skin pigmentation, and the HAR1 gene, which is a “human accelerated region” associated with human neurological development. The human skin color gene TYR and human brain gene HAR1 were not found in Bigfoot nuDNA. Now that in and of itself is very interesting.

In this video I explain my logic about the use of game cameras and the show the area where I have one placed. I also give you a glimpse of a Bigfoot featured in my e-book "The Bigfoot Field Journal - Volume 1".

Smeja/Cutino Sample Not Same As Kethcum DNA Study Sample 26

Last week Bart Cutino accused me of being a "liar" in the comments section of my post Ketchum Bigfoot DNA Study - She Said/He Said. I defened the study and asserted that the sample that Smeja gave to Cutino for testing was not the same sample that was sent to the Ketchum DNA Project (Sample 26). Bart repsonded with visceral rant left on my blog . Here is just part of what Bart said:

"I can go on but you're brainwashed and obviously so emotionally invested that you're willing to lie to your own readers. I challenge you and David (Paulides) to prove one thing I've said is untrue. Thank god her paper is a disaster based on what she's released or she would've poisoned this subject even more including the legitimate idea of bigfoot dna (fake journal and peer review, charging 30$ and pocketing the monies, no lab reports, less then 1% of the data, no support or substantiaton, no support from her own so called co-authors,fake people (Casey Mullins)etc..."

On March 15th Robert Lindsay pointed out the following on his blog:

Possible explanation for anomalous Ketchum and Smeja/Cutino results for the Bigfoot steak from the Sierra Kills. The results indicate that the submissions were from two different objects, not a single object. Cutino/Smeja’s results ended up with MtDNA haplotypes A and T2, and Ketchum’s MtDNA results indicate haplotype H1A for Sample 26 (the Sierra Kills Bigfoot steak). Apparently these were two completely different objects being tested. I have no explanation for the anomalous results or why there were two objects when there was said to be only two pieces of a single object.

It is obvious that the facts are pointing to the realization that Justin Smeja gave a Bigfoot sample to the Ketcum DNA Study and gave Bart Cutino a piece of bear and claimed it was Bigfoot. The reasons why he did this are only known to him. Sorry Bart you trusted the wrong person.
