"The Falcon Project has been ongoing for several years, ever since Barnes started tinkering with ideas for aerial filming platforms. He needed to find an unmanned aircraft that could hover for long periods of time, low enough to capture a photo but quiet and small enough not to disturb a Sasquatch. His search ended when he got in touch with Stephen Barkley of Aerial Tripods, a Canadian manufacturer of airships used in the film industry.

Barkley’s alcohol-powered, dual-engine, 45-foot Aurora Mk II airship is capable of four to six hours of unmanned flight, can turn on a dime, and is able to carry a payload of up to 85 pounds. That’s more than enough to carry the sophisticated thermal imaging camera equipment that the researchers in the field will use to zoom in on any suspected Sasquatches."

Indy...FLIR on an airship. Is your other career a sasquatch hunter?
