BIGFOOT + Meldrum = MONEY MAKING SCAM
Meldrum’s university colleagues and scientists in his own field—that same collection does not constitute valid evidence, and Meldrum’s examination of it is pseudoscientific: belief shrouded in the language of scientific rigor and analysis. “Even if you have a million pieces of evidence, if all the evidence is inconclusive, you can’t count it all up to make something conclusive,” says David J.

Over the Line, Smokey! has previously created a months-long post on Dr. Melba Ketchum’s excellent “bigfoot science” adventures. We have now been informed of an interesting fiasco involving the other principal proponent of “bigfoot science”, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, now full
