Notice of the Mutual UFO Network’s UFO-Creature Conference to be held on November 8, 2014 brought back so many memories of seemingly endless debates between UFOlogists and Bigfoot hunters regarding whether or not there is any connection between Bigfoot and UFOs. Some of these debates have been respectful, reasoned, and rewarding. Others have not.

In 1968, when I was writing monthly articles for Marty Singer, the editor of SAGA magazine, I received a number of reports from individuals claiming to have witnessed Bigfoot-type creatures somehow participating in both the peripheral activity of a close encounter as well as playing a principal role in the event.

Intrigued by the growing stack of reports, I mentioned to my colleague and fellow writer-researcher John A. Keel that I intended to write an article suggesting a connection between Bigfoot and UFOs. Skeptical, Keel doubted that the link could be made. However, when the article appeared in SAGA a few months later, he conceded that in his opinion I had effectively made the case. However, he cautioned me not to expect a great many Bigfoot hunters or UFOlogists to agree with me either way.
