Maybe not&#8230; and we look at all the reasons why.<\/p>\n<p>Then later in the program, after an update on Florida&#8217;s alleged &#8220;Skunk Ape,&#8221; the legendary Irish conservationist and former big game hunter Peter Byrne joins us, who devoted decades of his life to the search for Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest. Byrne chimes in about the &#8220;story behind the story&#8221; of the FBI recently releasing their files on Bigfoot.<\/p>\n<p>Then in the second hour, after offering a resolution to a missing person incident, we shift our attention to recent statements by Donald Trump that he had had a &#8220;short meeting&#8221; about UFOs in the Oval Office. While there has been much speculation about the nature of this &#8220;briefing,&#8221; former senator Harry Reid recently spoke in defense of Luis Elizondo, a former DoD employee who says he was the head of the Pentagon&#8217;s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which studied UFOs for several years.
