Hi, I am Ed Smith.
What follows is what happened leading up to one of the most important scientific discoveries in world history. It involves military, industrial and corporate concerns, as well as, the sighting of a Sasquatch. Let me explain.
It all began when I was watching a recent YouTube video in the rather ubiquitous genre of "peeking Bigfoot videos." was supposed to show a Sasquatch. It only shows, however, branches and shadows and not much else. Fifty one seconds in which I could have been holding a women's hand or reading passage in a fine book. But the lure of possibility overcame my more Urbain elements. So I watched, as heartache and betrayal in a fleeting instant reminded me of my own quest for the elusive. Then, the phone rang. It was Mr. Alexander of Team Quantra.
Quantra had been contacted under MOS Safari 64 cryptid code Zebra. That meant an African operation. It was a level six contact which meant no turning back because National security was at stake.

The industrial and military applications of such were immense. The fear was industrialist had already made their way in to sabotage our activities. Greed is a never ending motivation and international corporations would risk the farm to posses that plant, if it were determined real.
It was unknown if the Major had met with foul play, or simply vanished. We would soon find out.
My party and I had arrived at a clearing near the Congo River (last known position of the officer) and set up base camp. I had been there years ago, and was somewhat familiar with the land. We then began an excursion into the research area when we realized we were being observed. Something was peering from behind the trees. Known cannibals were in the region so we were on high alert.
They charged suddenly with spears and we took flight. Even though we were armed, we were not there to harm anyone. We were explorers, not soldiers (a similar thing happened in Nepal with Loren and I a decade ago).
For miles we were chased deep into the jungle, until their limited ambition to be scavenged themselves led them away. At least I thought. Heading back, we saw why they ran. A native was lying dead on the jungle floor. He had been mauled but by what we could not tell.
Upon searching his possessions, we found Army dog tags with Major Kingsly's name on them. We feared she had meet a horrible demise. There was still hope of finding her but we must press on. Also, there were strands of rope on him that were made from a strange looking plant. Could this be the wonder plant, I asked Mr. Alexander (He is our team engineer).
The African Sasquatch |
Out of the foliage I saw it. It made its way across a clearing and it was no ape. I am very familiar with apes. It was much taller then a man and covered with hair. It could not hide behind a tree but was now in the open. We did not experience fear; we did not try to run. It was gone; we returned to camp. We seemed afraid to speak for it would only call into question our entire belief systems of what is possible and what is real.
There was so much more to do and we needed our rest. Where the industrialist in area? Was the Major still alive? What really made the Pygmies run away when they had us in their sites? What was that human like thing that crossed our path? We had more questions then answers and we were supposed to provide answers. This was now a turning point for us. Science, military and government activities had collided. I could not have been happier.
Back at camp my chief engineer, Mr Alenxander, told me the rope was indeed inflammable and unbreakable. While subjecting it too testing, he found out it also conducted electricity. What a discovery we had confirmed! A celebration was in order.
I just happened to have a twenty year old Pinot Grigio on hand. Combined with a Montecristo, the air was soon filled with the bougie' of fine wine and Cuban tobacco. All was well.
Coming up: Find out what happened to the Major. Find out what that animal was. Find out if there is military importance to the jungle plant. Will science, military or corporate greed win out?
