    It looks more like a person to me. It doesn't look big enough to be a Bigfoot. But what do you think:

    These two videos seemed to be worth posting.

    The IMPOSSIBLE Walk of the Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot Film ( a Documentary )


    That walk does seem to be different from a human walk. I tend to think that the footage is of a real bigfoot but i'm not going to say I'm one hundred percent sure.


    Watch this one from the 10:22 time mark to the 15:50 time mark.

    FINDING BIGFOOT Ep. 2 PROOF THAT BIGFOOT IS REAL AND OUR GOVERNMENT KNOWS IT!!

    Your appraisal makes no sense:
    1) How can you possibly, accurately judge size from that image, when there is nothing of known size, near the squatch, that you can use for reference?

    2) Even if it wasn't a full grown sasquatch-- you realize that they're not born, fully grown, right? They would need pass through all the sizes smaller than a full grown animal, on their way to adulthood. So even if you could judge its size with any precision (which seems impossible), and it was smaller than the maximum squatch height, this could be explained by its not being fully mature.

    I consider this sort of like the claim that there are modern-day megalodon sharks still extant. There are tons of fossilized megalodon teeth found frequently..... But not one single specimen of a non fossilized tooth has ever been found.

    As far as I know there have been no fossils found of any Bigfoot. Surely some bones should exist somewhere unless Bigfoot is some sort of interdimensional being ???

    I don't totally rule out its not existing but mammals have a tendency to hide just before they die.

    This Is Why You’ve Never Seen Dead Animals Around You



    Also, this seems to be one of those things that the government is trying to hide so it could prevent the media from reporting on fossils of Bigfoot.

    I am going with tree trunk in shadow with overhanging limb creating the illusion of the back leg. Three feet of snow and big foot just walking on the surface? No apparent ground disturbance with what appears to be the back foot? Bigfoot would be knee deep without snow shoes.

    At the 38:25 time mark of this video you can hear a recording of what may be a bigfoot.

    I think a human could make that sound.

    OMG!

    This whole series of yours is getting more silly with each post.

    Yes, dead carcasses are a significant food source.

    No, you claim the problem with bigfoot is the GOVERNMENT, and that's laughable.

    Remember if you want to create a conspiracy theory, you have to figure out how to cover the entire world with it.

    In the video in my last post Dr. Meldrum referred to the "Freeman footage" so I googled it. The alleged creature can be seen at the 4:40 time mark.

    Here's another one that Dr. Meldrum mentioned.

    WAS THE MEMORIAL DAY BIGFOOT CARRYING A BABY?!!



    Here's the channel page.

    I haven't watched any of those videos yet so I don't know how serious they are.

    Here's another analysis of the Patterson footage plus some other stuff.

    Adygea Bigfoot Captured on Video

    It would be a stretch to call the bottom three conclusive proof but if they're people in suits, they're really good suits.

    Never under-estimate the evil nature of the government, or the lengths they will go to in covering up "big foot". This exposure is frightening, I just hope these large-footed animals never make it into the city, they'll buy up all the size 22 footwear and Shaqa will be walking around barefoot!

    An a priori incredulity is as fallacious as a naive willingness to believe. An objective truth-seeker has neither.

    I'm going dirt bike riding this Monday or Tuesday in an area of Florida called Cecil Webb.

    It's 75,000 acres of woods so I will be sure to keep an eye out for the skunk ape.

    An incredibly daft thing to say. Dismissing something known to be completely false through decades of nonsense is not "based on a mistaken belief"! A naive willingness to believe something is endearing in children with Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny, not so much with people discussing "science" in the science forum.
    What has that got to do with you?
    Anyway, here's something to help you with your extensive research:

    This is a good point; however, it does not resolve the argument. While the Bigfoot question is not something I've given much thought, or have a hard opinion about, I am starting to lean towards giving some credence to the idea that there may be something behind it. Counterarguments to your point about the bones, would include:

    1) Because these creatures live in remote areas, and if their populations are small, it cannot be assumed that, if they existed, their bones would have been found. There are creatures, like the duck-billed platypus, that existed for a long time, without any skeletons being discovered.

    2) If they have evolved more highly than apes, like us, then there is also the possibility that they might treat their dead in a ceremonial fashion, as by burying them, or with cremation, submerging them in deep lakes, even keeping the bones, with them.

    3) Your alternate suggestion, that they are "inter-dimensional," or at least alien, is one of the two major, competing views of Sasquatch (with anecdotal stories, to support it).

    I saw a video once that made number three a distinct possibility in my mind.

    It moved up the side of a mountain like nothing in this world could possibly do and then simply vanished.

    Of course it could have been just a fanciful video.... But one never knows.

    All things might not be probable, but all things are at least possible.

    Right. There's not much in the way of evidence, other than reported sightings, but there's no reason why this should be summarily dismissed, as beyond the pale of credibility. It is even possible, at least, with regard to that non-Earthly origin theory, that what we see may not be it's actual appearance, but some type of visual illusion.

    I wasn't paying much attention to this issue until I came across the analysis of the Patterson footage that's in post #3. I started looking around more and it kind of looked like some other issues in which there's a lot of bogus stuff out there that muddies the waters; we have to separate the serious stuff from the bogus stuff. These two documentaries look to me like they were made by serious people doing serious research.

    Why They Devote Their Lives To Bigfoot - Bigfoot's Reflection - Full Documentary


    Don't Call Me Bigfoot |Full Documentary|



    From what I've seen, I'd bet that Bigfoot exists. A government has the resources to verify whether it exists. It could send up some people in a balloon at night who have thermal imagers*. They could locate one that's off by itself and send in a few people with tranquilizer guns who would also have thermal imagers on their guns. The people in the balloon could direct the people on the ground to the creature. They could immobilize it without hurting it too much and then send for a transport helicopter to pick it up. Both the Canadian and American governments are quite capable of carrying this out so they probably did this years ago. Both governments probably have live specimens which they're studying. The question, "How could a creature have eluded being discovered for so long?" can be explained by its not having eluded being discovered and that the info is being suppressed. I think this is the most plausible scenario. I think the reasons for its being suppressed are pretty clear; if it were widely recognized to exist and were officially classified with the other primates, it would be the beginning of its demise. Waves of trophy hunters would go after it and waves people just trying to see it, photograph it or capture one live would lead to encounters in which both it and people would end up injured or dead. Making this info public would be a very bad idea.
