Top 10 Reasons Bigfoot Probably Doesn’t Exist

The name Bigfoot is synonymous with mystery to many people out there; and after the countless claims – the sightings, footprints, videos and photographs – it would seem that there must be something strange in the woods of North America, right?

Perhaps the most damning fact to disprove the existence of Bigfoot is the
atrocious quality of evidence that has been presented. The scientific community has only been given hazy eyewitness accounts, extremely vague photographs and films, and a few blatantly hoaxed footprints.
In such pieces of video or photographic “evidence”, the subject is almost always either obscured by tree branches or extremely far away.

It was one of only two SSTs to enter commercial service, the other being the Anglo-FrenchConcorde. The design, publicly unveiled in January 1962, was constructed in the Soviet Union under the direction of the Tupolev design bureau, headed by Alexei Tupolev.[1]
The prototype first flew on 31 December 1968 near Moscow,[1] two months before the first flight of Concorde. The Tu-144 first went supersonic on 5 June 1969, and on 26 May 1970 became the first commercial transport to exceed Mach 2. The frequent comparisons to Concorde led to the Tu-144 being known as "Concordski" in the West.[2]

When you think of super sonic flight, you probably first think of the Concorde. But that wasn't the first super sonic transporter and it certainly
