The FBI released Wednesday 22 documents in the archive safe detailing the agency's research on Bigfoot. The documents, dated from 1976 to 1977, show that an analysis was performed on a hair sample, presumably from the great man – in the woods – himself. Peter Byrne, then director of the Bigfoot Information Center and Exhibition in The Dalles, Oregon, wrote to the FBI asking him to test 15 unidentified hair samples attached to a tissue. The FBI agreed to test the samples "in the interest of research and scientific investigation," according to a response sent by Jay Cochran, then deputy director of the FBI's Scientific and Technical Services Division.
According to the documents, the FBI examined the hair by means of "light microscopy transmitted and incidental light". "The review included a study of morphological features such as root structure, bone marrow structure and thickness of the cuticle, in addition to scale castings," Cochran wrote. "The hairs were compared directly with hairs of known origin under a comparison microscope … It was concluded as a result of these reviews that hairs were originally from the deer family."
