Reports are categorized by the time they occurred. Some reports do not include a time or date of the occurrence and are simply filed under UNKNOWN DATES.
Other reports are filed by the decade beginning in 1950.
Before each report, you find a file number. The file number is the year the event took place, not when it was reported to Sasquatch Tracker. Following the year is the event number.
After the event number there is a letter designating what type of event took place. Types are:
S: sightings, visual. T: tracks, tracks found or discovered that are not attributed to known animals. B: behavior, unique behaviors not attributed to known animals. V: vocalizations, yells, screams, howls, mimicked noises. L: legends, folklore surrounding events that cannot be verified. O: other behavior that doesn't work in the above.
And finally, there will be a location. If exact locations are given by witnesses, they will appear as latitudes and longitudes within the text.
For example: 2023 / 02 / T - Mentasta. AK shows the event took place in 2023 and that it was the second event reported that year. The letter "T" shows there were tracks discovered or observed. And finally, the location is Mentasta, AK.
The ALASKA FILES are under constant revision as reports are submitted. Some reports are unverified. Some reports are eventually omitted during revision when proven to be hoaxes.
