The Falcon Project –
the Most Penetrating Search for the Legendary Sasquatch Ever Undertaken
October 08, 2012 --
St. George, UT, October 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Falcon
Project proposes to conduct an extensive aerial search for an unrecognized
North American primate, a.k.a. sasquatch or Bigfoot, by means of an
helium-filled airship, upon which a platform supporting thermal-imaging and
high resolution wireless videography equipment is mounted. The Aurora Mk II
airship offers major advantages over similar applications with helicopter or
fixed-wing aircraft platforms, foremost, stealth and maneuverability. The former
permits approach and observation with minimal or no disturbance of the
subject’s natural behavior. The latter is critical for surveying in areas of
dense stands of forest where a sustained vertical perspective is essential for
locating animals on the forest floor.
The unmanned 45' dual airship is equipped with a proprietary
propulsion system that can carry the airship at speeds of 35-45 mph and
maneuver with the degree of precision necessary to track a fast-moving animal.
The construction, instrument integration, and flight training is being provided
by Remote Aerial Tripods Inc. of Canada, with Stephen Barkley as lead designer
of the Aurora Mk II. The airship, gyro-stabilized camera mount, and ground
operations equipment have been designed specifically for the requirements of
this task. The sleek, quiet, never-before-used technology eliminates the noise
produced by conventional aircraft and on the ground investigators, allowing
stealthy approach to wary reclusive species. The challenge of locating a solitary,
nocturnal far-ranging, intelligent primate is demonstrated by the dearth of
definitive photographic evidence. The Falcon Project offers a novel approach
employing the latest technologies.
