It would certainly seem so, dc. Sounds simple enough. Satellites and drones are Border Patrol tools as well, along with personnel on horseback, ATV's, snowmobiles etc. As far as monitoring the slash, which is the 20ft wide cut down strip of land between the two countries there are sensitive ground sensors that eventually, via AI,, will be tied to the cameras which will then be turned in the direction of whatever gets detected.This may be already be true along some stretches.It should be known that a good tree canopy will interfere with a drone's seeming thermal camera advantage during foliage seasons.
I have a low end hand-held one that I rarely use until the leaves drop. They work on temperature differential so if a 100 degree animal walks around on a 100 degree day it will be difficult to detect. That same animal on a 40 degree day, however, will light up like a Christmas tree.

Danny I don't disagree with your points but I do disagree with your premise which is that the powers that be care a rats red rear end about keeping us common men informed.

Hi, everyone, first post here. This is to hopefully give some support to what cathryn and Mainewoods have posted about their experiences with their knock sounds. I carefully read all of the details within each telling and saw that a lot of the suggested sources of these sounds don't fit the descriptions of carolyn's and Mainewoods' locations or relatively isolated location conditions. I'm going to post a recording of what I think is what they've heard. There are two prime differences between what they said and my own experience. One is that both of their occurrences happened in the daytime where mine occurred primarily between 9:25pm and 9:50pm. There's more to relate concerning the backstory of that but for now it can wait. The second difference is that they were going about doing normal things whereas I had intentionally set up a recorder to run all night that, with luck, might acquire such evidence. All comments are welcome. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vmsz...huio0btt3e0dqzk&st=pjimoknm&dl=0Thank you for that Researcher! I actually hear that sound as well and always assumed it was gunshots. I hear that every few weeks out here. It's the closest to the sound we heard, but not quite it. It had more of a deeper "thud" or boom sound, and it was the exact same sound three times within 5 or 6 seconds. Any ideas on what you were recording if it wasn't gunshots?

All I can say is: People come on here asking a question that can't be answered and accuse the rest of us to be stupid for not knowing what they expect us of to say. Nope. We didn't come on here asking a question that can't be answered. And we didn't call anyone stupid. Many are acting like jerks for sure. When I first moved out here, I was baffled by the sound of a grouse, so I googled it for weeks. I FOUND AN ANSWER. This sound, I couldn't find an answer for, so I joined Cathryn in asking. What was the response? I was treaded like a stupid lunatic and mocked for wondering what the sound was. No answers, just accused of believing in bigfoot and aliens, simply because they never heard the sound before...and obviously, if they never heard the sound before it is an "unanswerable question" and you must put words in the mouth of the person who asked a question and accuse them of believing it's something they never said or believed.

I'm primarily researching what makes the knocks as they appear on my recording. Whether or not that's a respectable or non respectable goal to someone matters not. The rest is complicated. When 20,000 people descend on Bigfoot festival in a small town called Sutton in West Virginia- population 840- one has to wonder how big of a sham the Bigfoot subject is. 50,000 in Logan, Ohio? So my ultimate goal is the truth of what gives. The creature is either real or not- opinions notwithstanding. I have emailed the Dept. of Agriculture, USFS, and the USFWS for the answer.
As far as I know, no other so-called Sasquatch "researcher" or high-profile Bigfoot influencer, on TV or otherwise, has done that. I'm after an official statement on which side of the coin the truth lies. Real or not real? I want that answer and won't stop until I get it. The issue is all doors are closed and all avenues so far have been dead ends. The other issue is, no matter which way it goes, the truth will cost someone a huge pile of money which is why, so far, the OFFICIAL truth has not been forthcoming.
I am not a believer. Nor am I a non-believer. Because I am an adult, I am a seeker of the truth which, in my mind and world, is an official statement to the public on what the reality is. Using that logic, Paul Bunyon must be real based on town festivals in different parts of the country...heck, even leprechauns must exist because a town near me has a huge festival each year on st pattys day. I also suspect you are far from the first researcher to seek official answers or documents from government agencies ref bigfoot. Dont mean to sound harsh, just a bit of a realist on these matters. Could a yet-to-be discovered fish be living 4 miles deep in the ocean...yep. could an 8 foot bipedal hairy creature be living in north america...heck, living in nearly all 50 states based on 'sightings', without a skeleton or carcass located after all these decades and centuries of folk lore....nope. However, it sounds like this quest keeps you active and entertained, and for that, I hope you keep it up. Once again, there seems to be zero reading comprehension around here...

I just find it odd everyone swears there couldn't be a HUMAN in the woods, but find it believable a sasquatch could be. If a 'squatch could be there, why couldn't a person? AAANNND again...zero reading comprehension. There are no people in my woods. And I never said there are bigfoot in my woods, because I don't believe they exist. I came here asking what ANIMAL made that sound. I keep being accused of calling anyone here stupid when I never did. But now...

Well, if it ain't people or it ain't squatch, it ain't life threatening. You should have gone looking for it

.... I didn't realize so many adults in these places were still so childish. It literally is like being in a room full of 7 year olds, so now I can see why they would be afraid.
Close enough to stupid for me.

Thank you for that Researcher! I actually hear that sound as well and always assumed it was gunshots. I hear that every few weeks out here. It's the closest to the sound we heard, but not quite it. It had more of a deeper "thud" or boom sound, and it was the exact same sound three times within 5 or 6 seconds.
Any ideas on what you were recording if it wasn't gunshots? Any ideas I might have, real-world or not, would need some kind of proof to back it up. I have none. The knock-type sounds ARE real world, however, since the recording documents them but, so far, I can't really match them to anything that I am familiar with. Not trying to sound obtuse here, I just don't have an answer. I only posted to see if this was, or is close to, what you heard.

Three of just about anything,: - gunshots
- fires
- piles of rocks
- blasts of a whistle
- flashes of light
is the universal "distress signal" It can also be a warning signal. I'm pretty sure you were on sacred ground, maybe burial, or ceremonial, on which the spirits do not allow trespassing. The sounds you heard, were not even real sounds, just what the spirits could concoct to give you fair warning from coming closer. Do yourself a favor, and stay away.
