Big Foot

US hunters claim to have found Bigfoot - Times Online

"they marvelled at the seven foot seven inch, red-haired, flat-footed beast prostrated before them as they trekked through densely wooded mountains, Dyer and Whitton, 33 - who is currently on leave from police work after accidentally shooting himself while pursuing a robbery suspect - claim that they also spotted several of Rickmat’s friends and relatives lurking among the trees.

They are due to present the purported corpse, and their video footage of the shy Bigfoot clan, in public tomorrow, along with what they describe vaguely as “DNA evidence”. "

While I believe in bigfoot, I am quite skeptical about this. The "bigfoot expert hunter" involved has already been caught in commiting a fraud regarding finding a bigfoot. He charged people money and had to have George Noori from coast to coast am chastize him into giving refunds. He claimed he was a victim of the fraud from others he trusted...........but I heard him on the radio and he is a a perpetrator, not a victim of this previous incident IMO.

News & Culture in Menlo Park, CA | Bigfoot

In 2005, Biscardi claimed on the nationally syndicated Coast to Coast radio program that members of his team (then called the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization) had a 17–year–old, 400–pound Bigfoot in captivity in Northern California, although Biscardi hadn't seen the creature himself. Previously on the program, Biscardi said capture of a creature near Happy Camp, Calif., was imminent and he had set up a website that featured a pay-for-view live feed from the expedition. The cost was $19.95 per week or $59.95 for an unlimited pass.
Alas, no Bigfoot ever materialized. Biscardi said he was "hoodwinked" by someone who said an injured Bigfoot was being held in captivity.
On his website lorencoleman.com, Coleman took Biscardi to task for misleading people and taking their money.
"The more important issue for me is what damage to the credibility of the field will this fiasco have," wrote Coleman.

They just had a costume designer on Coasttocoastam.com who said he was sure the pictures are his costume.


COAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY
Bigfoot Costume

At the start of the program, mask and prop maker Chuck Jarman said the dead 'Bigfoot' is one of his costumes (left) that he sculpted for a Halloween company two years ago.






I dug up a website with comparisons. Sure looks just like the costume to me.
frozen Bigfoot and other fakery

Hurts the credibility of all the serious bigfoot searchers out there. It's a freakin' shame.

I ( and most others in my field ) would find it pretty darn easy to make a fake bigfoot video with convincing results. Just requires some careful planning.

MoCap ( Motion Capture ) and 3D Fur goes a long way these days. Real life effects make-up has also made leaps and bounds.

UFO vids are the same. I have purposely filmed weird light effects on low quality cameras and it looks like many of the UFO vids out there. One trick, is to film out of a slowly moving car, through the closed window. If the light hits the window correctly, you can make it look like you are tracking a space ship of some kind.

Do I believe in Bigfoot ? Hell no !

Any guy who shot himself while chasing a suspect can't be trusted to have the intelligence nor skill to capture Bigfoot, let alone a break.

I can't believe some folks have said they believe in Bigfoot.

Why?

Why?

Because there is evidence of bigfoot more reliable than those two idiots.

Hairy ape men have been seen in many places of the world. Footprints have been documented. Nests with hair have been found. The hair has been DNA tested as unkown ape species. Sound tapes have been recorded of their cries.

I believe the Patterson film is good evidence.

Indiginous cultures have long known of their existance.

It is not unheard of for species previously unkown to be found even in these modern days.

On a more personal level, my two friends were participating in a pow wow in the woods in Northern Ca. and heard their cries. One was a very advanced camper and they said it was no documented animal.
