Although the final analysis of the creatures' sounds was presented in a symposium at the University of British Columbia in 1978 very little work has taken place to date. It is the hope of Sierra Sounds that another study can be launched using newer technology.

We believe that these recordings are unique and suggest an insight into the nature of these elusive unidentified primates. The years that we've experienced intermittent encounters have suggested to us that these entities are more that just another animal in the woods. It is the belief of Sierra Sounds that the creatures should not be shot–but a trust relationship should be encouraged.

There are literally thousands of reports on record and they continually come in from all over the Pacific Northwest. We are in hopes that mainstream science will become more involved in this discovery. Our recordings are now and have always been available to any expert that is willing to step up to the plate.

Sierra Sounds believes that these creatures should not be shot. Clearly over time a trust relationship can be developed and communication with these creatures is obtainable and should be sought.

Although the analysis of the creatures' sounds and the integrity of the recordings were presented in a symposium at the University of British Columbia in 1978 it wasn’t until March of 2008 that a Crypto-Linguistic team of experts trained by the military discovered a complex language within the recordings.

We believe that these unique sounds suggest an insight into the nature of these elusive primates. The years that we've experienced intermittent encounters have suggested to us that these entities are more than just another animal in the woods—much more.
