Hi all

Haven't seen the footage you're talking about. Check out the footage on this. :wink: :shock:

It's a great bit of video from 1995 so it's 13 yrs old but if it's fake then the guys in the RV deserve Academy Awards for acting.

Cheers Buck

Buck's got it sussed. If those boys were acting, they were doing a mighty fine job. I can make out a bit of figure although nothing totally concrete.

Wasn't a bear, but.

The main factor to go by when judging the authenticity of this footage is the reaction of the witnesses.

And they seemed genuinely flipped out by the whole incident.

The first one Mikka refers to has got me wondering. It looks like it could be authentic.

Very long arms, swinging rapidly.

But.......

Natural Sasquatch movement or over-exaggerated fake?

Everything that he mentions in his report seems consistant with what is believed to be Bigfoot movement and appearence.

The only thing that I don't know about is the fact that he caught maybe 7-10 seconds of this being on film, and the whole time he is looking through the camera at a fair distance.

Yet in his report he mentions that its eyes were dark. I could be wrong, but from that far away, while staring through a camera, trying to get it focused, running through the scrub AND attempting to figure out just what it was you were looking at, I'm not quite sure if you've really got time to take five and check out it's eye colour.

Then again, maybe he did.

It's always going to be a tough call with footage like this. While I'll lean towards it being real I understand that detractors could easily debunk it as a man in a monkey suit.

There in lies the problem. A number of reports come in saying it was like a guy in a monkey suit. Bonafide witnesses have described it as such... so if it looks like a man in a monkey suit... it could be either unless you get close enough to photo the whites of it eyes (metaphor guys, I don't know if they have white bits) but if you're that close it's certainly going to see the whites of yours.

I thought the movement of the subject was convincing, the way the videographer hid a bit, held his breath... that's when you hear a couple of footsteps traipsing off.

I thought it had merit. There is an interesting footnote the the Author's homepage. He's in a band called 'Total Nutcase' - Viral marketing campaign maybe?

Very clever if it is.

If it smells like a man in a suit...............
And it tastes like a man in a suit.......
Then the chances are........ its a man in a suit.

I have looked at it a few times and it strikes me as if the "thing" has gone one way then calmly walk back conveniently in front of the camera.

I dunno, I suppose if it was me and my film, I would have to face the sceptics knowing what I saw was real.

Then again, if it looks like Bigfoot.......
And walks like Bigfoot.......
Who's to say it isn't?

I suppose the only people who will ever know for sure is that Mark mate and his missus.

Buck mentioned this guy plugging his band. I wonder what the case actually was? Was he trying to figure out how to get his band's name out there, therefore faking bigfoot footage that lots of people will see, and throw in a few lines about his band?

Or the opposite?

Record authentic footage and watch a golden advertising opportunity fall into his lap.

I know that every opportunity I get, I talk my band up.

By the way.........A NEW RESPECT.

Look out for us.

lol romeo, your band sucks :P jks

in other news, it's probably real...or not...but there's no point argueing it, if everyone agrees it's real, it won't make it so. I wouldn't waste my time until some decent footage comes along...why does everyone who's lucky enough to see a yowie, suck at using a video camera.

Personally, anything hosted on Angelfire is definatly in the "hmmm" catagory for me. If it's a suit, they got the head right, it looks a bit more streamlined than your run-of-the-mill ape suit.

I initially had a bit of trouble with the footage that Mikka had listed second, but finally got it going.

And there is something swinging around in the tree behind the camp.

But this one cannot just be written off as some guy in a suit. It has the body frame, size and mobility of a chimpanzee.

One may assume this is a young bigfoot.

What I think backs this up, is the apparent presence of another. Just to the left, you can make out the head and shoulders of what appears to be an adult. It doesn't move while in view of the camera, however when the camera moves for a little while and then moves back, it seems to have changed position.

Apparently the people who filmed it did not even know the figures were there until a few years after. It was then sent to BFRO.

Speaking of which, there are some pretty interesting new photos on the BFRO website.

What are you views?

(And why isn't it red?!??) :evil: :evil: :evil:

Of the footage I've just seen, the redwoods footage just looks like a blur. My sound card just died, so I can't hear anything, but the footage is just too dark and blurry to actually see anything.

The Angelfire footage is better and clearer, but I wonder why it stops just when the camera looks like it is about to re-focus. Once again, couldn't hear anything, so this is just going off visuals.

The nybaby footage - looked at this with my laptop, so I actually had sound (though there didn't seem to be any on the actual footage) To me it just looked like a bunch of people chatting around a campfire - didn't actually see anything at all. Though the footage is pretty dark, and maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough.

I personally do not see anything particularly convincing in any of the footage. As usual, only the people involved will know the truth.

re the Silver Star photos...

I actually got quite excited about this - though more due to the name than anything else. Silver Star is one of my favourite skiing haunts in Canada, I have friends that live there and was all ready to send emails and start bugging them about all things bigfoot - then I saw the bit about Washington... D'oh.

Now, regarding the photo itself - well... It's small, it's blurry, it has all the right shapes and colours, but that is about all. It's a nice photo to add to the pics section, but it wont set the world into "it's real!" mode.

Is it the real thing? I'd give it a 10% chance.
