In closing, let’s go over the facts, each year between 500 and 2,000 people go missing each year, there have been many sightings of UFOs, cryptozoologists hunt for Bigfoot. The Air Force even shot down a UFO in that area. But how many of the sightings are confirmed? Sure, there are recurring sightings that have similarities with earlier sightings. But even the eyewitnesses disagree with each other, the story changes with every telling. People get lost in the woods all the time, and the Alaskan wilderness is not your average patch of forest reserve, it is one of the last remaining wildernesses untouched by man. Let’s review Alaska’s bragging rights, this state contains over 100,000 glaciers, it has 17 of the countries 20 highest peaks, it has over 33,000 miles of coastland, over 3 million lakes, and it is twice the size of Texas. It is quite a tourist attraction, and, let’s face it, the average tourists are not expert woodsmen, it would not be hard to get lost when you don’t know what you are doing, or where you are.

 

 ​The most logical explanation of these disappearances is that the people just got lost, fell in a glacier, or were buried by an avalanche, or even mauled by a bear. There are too many explanations to count, without thinking of Bigfoot or alien abductions. Nature is a formidable force to mess with, so don’t.
