Tater Baker: Thingummy for Ufological Nonsense.

Greetings. Tater Baker. The name, whilst not overly familiar to many in UFO circles, is well-known to many individuals in the San Antonio metropolitan area who have an interest in the UFO phenomenon and other fringe topics. In some circles, the name is infamous and an embarrassment, but I will get to those abhorrent points in their own good time. 

During the course of my short and ill-advised association with the local San Antonio chapter of MUFON, about a decade ago, I encountered Ms. Baker on several occasions. I found her to be totally ignorant of the long history of the UFO problem, and deplorably uneducated in a more general sense. To be perfectly honest, many people in the local chapter did not like me at all, finding me toxic and belligerent. I could care less, but I do know for certain, from reliable sources, that Ms. Baker couldn't stand me, and uses the word "hate" to describe her feelings about yours truly. Good, I would expect nothing less.  

Before taking any more tentative steps forward, it must be made abundantly clear who is ultimately to blame for the laughable ufological environment here in San Antonio: Mr. Ken Jordan, the former head of the San Antonio chapter, and a former Texas State Director for MUFON. Mr. Jordan initially allowed Ms. Baker to get involved, and had no problem with her, for all intents and purposes, taking complete control of the chapter, even before he himself accepted the position as State Director. Ms. Baker consistently makes decisions based solely on her personal feelings about the individuals involved, and has no professional background or experience in scientific investigative methodologies or organizational techniques. 

Despite Ms. Baker's obvious shortcomings, Mr. Jordan willingly abandoned the chapter, a group that is no longer currently active, leaving it in the dumpy hands of a completely unqualified, woefully unscientific, and patently nonsensical individual. As time irrevocably passed, the local chapter began to self-destruct and ultimately imploded, going the way of critical thinking in the greater UFO subculture. 

Now, as of October 10th of 2024, Ms. Baker has reorganized, with a new Facebook page and group, entitled "Texas Known vs Unknown (Tater Baker - Host)" The page is a repository of nonsensical content, posts that don't focus solely on the UFO problem, but explore other fringe topics, especially Bigfoot. A couple of posts immediately come to mind, which are as follows: 

On June 18th, the following post appeared, with a text that read, and I quote: "On December 17, 2023 I (Tater Baker) received two pictures from Mario living close to Lackland Base in San Antonio Texas. The pictures are of two muddy foot prints on concrete. One was the print of what was believe to be Sasquatch. The other was Mario's 9 Ft steel toe Boot next to the so called Sasquatch foot print.  

Tater Baker host with Texas Known vs Unknown sent them to her Big Foot Expert: Jim Squatchin to research & evaluate for authencity if it was a Sasquatch Print.  

Jim gave Tater bfro.net SASQUATCH SIGHTING report database.

He receives the reports and follows up on them to confirm if it is real report or a hoax. 

Jim stated they have hair samples of a bipedal but the information is not released. (A big foot breaks midway center of foot called midtarsel break). Looks for thermal ridges. Jim stated: looks like Bigfoot mud prints on concrete. They look real to me; but you can’t cast those mud prints. If you look at both pictures you can see a white line across the middle of the foot print. That’s your mid tarsal break. Plus, they are definitely wider & much longer than the guys boot. I have sent the picture for further analysis. Will get back to you.

THE NIGHT OF THE STORM: 

It looks like you're asking about the weather on December 16, 2023.

Based on the information from a weather forecast from that date, a line of storms with heavy widespread rain and gusty winds was affecting the east coast of the US, especially near the Gulf Coast. Some coastal flooding was also expected in those areas.

For areas further west, like San Antonio, Texas, the weather was described as quiet, but with a storm system approaching that was expected to bring some impacts and tropical moisture at the start of the following week.

One source also mentions that clouds were streaming in and there were a few showers along the coast.

Jim suggested if you are a committed Sasquatch Researcher to get Dr. Meldrums book, "Sasquatch, Legend meets Science" also "Sasquatch Field Gude". The Legend meets Science will teach you everything you want to known about Bigfoot/Sasquatch.  

Attached are the two pics sent in by Mario; plus the pic of a 12ft 462 pound upside down rooted tree used as a terrortial marker.

Research on an Big Foot Expedition on Mount St Helen 3 total black helicopters flew over the expedition. 

Takes extensive knowledge to be approved to go on an Expedition. Like shookum cast taken in the meadows a cast of footprints was collected…. Large entity.  

If you see one, put your head down to show no aggression." 

The following images were attached to the June 18th post:

The aforementioned post and accompanying pictures speak for themselves. My only thoughts on the post in question are: 

Where are all the other footprints? 

Bigfoot Expert Jim Squatchin? Who the hell is he?

Why does Ms. Baker consistently capitalize words and letters when inappropriate? Her writing ability leaves much to be desired.  

On July 15th, an astoundingly ludicrous post appeared, pictured below. The text speaks for itself:

Really? Ms. Baker cannot tell that the Bigfoot in the picture is a guy in a suit? Additionally, more horrid writing is displayed. "Authentic it?" Holy crap, what an embarrassment. 

Some of the other images posted on Ms. Baker's page are featured below: 

Truly disconcerting. Thanks so much Mr. Jordan, for further damaging an already dysfunctional UFO community here in San Antonio. As before, when the San Antonio chapter of MUFON was in operation, there are no field investigations being conducted, no scientific methodologies being practiced and adhered to, and no critical thinking is taking place at all. None whatsoever. 

Tater Baker. A ufological thingummy that orbits itself, in an intellectually retrograde manner. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
