US Govt Yeti memo from 50s; they thought it was real

recently uncovered memo from 1959 indicates the US Government thought the Yeti existed, and advised rules not to kill or injure it.

www.usnews.com...

"The first rule required that expeditions buy a permit. The second demanded that the beast be photographed or taken alive. "It must not be killed or shot at except in an emergency arising out of self defense," wrote Embassy Counselor Ernest Fisk on November 30, 1959. And third, any news proving the existence of the Abominable Snowman must be cleared through the Nepalese government which probably wanted to take credit for the discovery."

sensible advice if it was real.
any US Govt comments on Bigfoot?

Of course the Yeti exists.. [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/b84968219a94.jpg[/atsimg]

"they thought it was real"


Well who is to say that it is not real? No one can prove nor disprove the existence of such creature. Despite popular belief, humans have not covered every foot of ground on this planet.

It honestly just sounds like Nepal wanted to make some quick money off of bigfoot hunters...

The document doesn't really say much other than how to make sure Nepal gets their cut of cash/possible credit.

it could exist... could abe a hrbrid that escaped

Too many stories from too many cultures throughout the world. There is no choice but to take in the evidence at hand, and to consider the possibility. Good for them to say no killing the animal as well.
