At that point, upon seeing its size, shape, and profile against the brightly-moonlit quartz hillside, he became a firm believer in the legendary creature commonly referred to as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. In theyears since, he has become obsessed with researching the animals. Now, as the founder of The Falcon Project, he hopes to prove their existence once and for all - with the help of a state-of-the-art remote-control camera-equipped airship.
So, why an airship? Unlike ground-based human explorers, it will be able to travel quickly and quietly over any terrain, it will have a high vantage point, and it will be able to see down between the trees. It also won't need to stop and catch its breath or rest its feet.
Comment: Assuming this theory is sound, it obviously has other features including ignition from within, which would probably be some sort of failure or glitch in the system. It might be a serious breakdown somewhere in the energy conversion process somewhere, also involving other features.
Obviously, an ignition system has to come into play since many SHC cases talk about flames coming from INSIDE, specifically, a blue flame that cannot be extinguished. Also, there would seem to be a relationship between acetone exposure and mitochondrial apoptosis. The mitochondria even incorporate an apoptosis "trigger" -- the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP). Imagine a system-wide acetone release followed by system-wide apoptosis.
We are highly energetic organisms, seemingly operating in defiance of entropy, and if the mechanisms that make that possible were to break down all at once, we can imagine all sorts of unusual things happening.
