Los OVNIs y Pie Grande son lo mismo

That headline is enough to frighten even the most seasoned UFO researcher or cryptozoologist, but a brave (and wonderfully titled) post over at the Blogsquatcher looks at electromagnetic effects associated with Bigfoot sightings. Be sure to read all of the detailed history of this phenomenon.

Turns out that there are documented instances of dying car engines associated with Bigfoot sightings. Some of us may have heard of the tendency for some UFOs to stop cars (and sometimes restart them) as well. Doesn't it seem a bit odd that two things that are considered so dissimilar could have the same effects associated with them?

The introduction of this sort of speculation may cause many to jump to the conclusion that I am saying that Bigfoot and UFOs are the same thing. Not so. They may impinge on some of the same areas and have the same effects associated with them, which is a good indication that at least some aspects of these paranormal subjects may have similar origins, at least as we perceive them. The physical effects may be a epiphenomenon of the forces at work when something strange is experienced, or perhaps it is the other way around. Or both.

The Blogsquatcher asks why there are still no pictures of Bigfoot from numerous automatic cameras set up to capture an image when they detect movement. Perhaps the simple answer is that the creature actually requires a witness to "call it into existence." This is also something that has been argued for some UFO cases. Of course, this brings to mind the so-called "tulpa" theory. You may know that Nick and I are fans of this sort of speculation, not as an explanation for the whole UFO subject, but as an adjunct.

As for Bigfoot and UFOs in the same vicinity, there are a few examples in existence, such as this one, and shenanigans around Dulce, New Mexico (as if that area didn't have enough strangeness already.)
