Sighting Form

If you believe you may have had a Bigfoot encounter, we want you to know that you're not alone. Thousands of Bigfoot sightings and encounters have been documented over the years in North America and around the world. Scientists, law enforcement officers, forest rangers, military personnel, hunters and many other credible individuals have had unexplainable encounters with large, upright hairy creatures known by Indians for hundreds of years as Sasquatch. At NESRA we understand the pressure modern society can place on witnesses of such creatures and we want you to know that you're not crazy. We believe that more than 75% of Bigfoot encounters are never reported for fear of being ridiculed or not believed. Sure, there have been a handful of hoaxes over the years. But this cannot account for the thousands of reports Bigfoot investigators around the world have already collected and the hundreds more that are added on a yearly basis. It's important that you come forward and share your experience with specialists such as those who belong to the NESRA investigation team. Your name and personal contact information will never be disclosed to the public, and NESRA investigators will do their very best to provide you with information and assistance in order to help you to best deal with your encounter. We truly care about you.

Most have only had fleeting encounters with various size and color Bigfoot-type creatures. These reports are important because they help us search for trends and patterns in Bigfoot behavior. But if you are among the few who have experienced ongoing harassment by such creatures around your property and/or home, you have come to the right place for help! At NESRA, we have specialists who can assist you in handling these sometimes terrifying experiences. If this is the case, please indicate such on the form below. We will handle it as an extreme situation and treat it as a very high priority.
