Dr. Jeff Meldrum is back in the news again pitching more details about the technology that will be involved in tracking down Bigfoot from the sky. According to Meldrum, the blimp project is currenlty being built by a Utah-based company. “It looks like something out of a science fiction movie,” Meldrum says.
“It’s a dirigible, an airship that has two air cells that gives it a kind of a catamaran stability in the air.” Meldrum says the yeti zeppelin will be filled with high tech equipment, including infrared cameras that will give researchers the best possible chance of spotting a Sasquatch.
“All types of wildlife studies even geological studies could be conducted with data that could be garnered from an airship gathering this type of aerial surveillance imagery,”
Meldrum is almost as famous, or depending on the audience, infamous, as the mythical creatures he chases. But, despite all the naysayers, the good-natured professor is optimistic this is the future of wildlife research.
“Admittedly, this is a prototype,” Meldrum said. “But, why would you not pursue the opportunity?”
