Contactium is more than a research group.
it’s a movement toward intelligent, peaceful contact with a civilization that has remained hidden in plain sight for generations. Founded by Gabriel Graciano, author of Unmasking Bigfoot: A New Look at Intelligent Creatures, Contactium is built on the belief that Bigfoot is not an animal, not a myth, and certainly not a spectacle—but rather a highly intelligent, human-like species with its own societal structures, communication, and purpose.
We exist to shift the focus of Bigfoot research from primitive tracking methods and sensationalized entertainment to coordinated, respectful, and evidence-driven contact efforts. Through technology, ethics, and collaboration, we believe that peaceful communication and mutual recognition between species is not only possible—it is overdue.
Our work combines:
Advanced observation methods (night vision, seismic sensors, drone surveillance)
Interdisciplinary research (linguistics, anthropology, behavioral psychology)
Ethical field engagement and gifting protocols
Strict non-hostile presence policies in the field
A growing network of serious, like-minded researchers and professionals
We’re not here to “hunt” Bigfoot.
We’re here to extend a hand across the divide—not as observers, but as diplomats.
If you believe, as we do, that something extraordinary is happening in the forests of North America—and if you’re ready to leave behind the circus of entertainment and take part in a new era of research and respect—then Contactium is your home.
Whether you’re a field investigator, technologist, biologist, tracker, or simply a believer driven by curiosity and purpose, we invite you to join us. Together, we aim to create the conditions for what could be the most important first contact in modern history.
Let’s move beyond evidence.
Let’s work toward understanding.
