I posted on another thread about this that Bill Munns opines that the new found footage was Al trying to convince himself that Roger's PGF was not itself a hoax (since Al was going to take it on tour and was worried he'd be at risk of fraud).  My head was spinning at that explanation.  If the new footage has the 'subject' doing Patty things (lifing it's foot to 90 degrees, etc), has breasts , and has a similar head (the most important), then it's pretty much done.  Why Roger would wait a year (being constantly poor) to film the cash cow makes no sense to me however.  That the film was in the possession of someone who worked at Boeing (they had a film lab) may finally explain how the PGF was developed so covertly.  

If I had a Bigfoot movie with my friends back in my youth (1970's ) any bigfoot would look like footage from the PGF in the following sense:   -Any footage would have a Bigfoot subject.   -The camera would come on to the subject.   -Unless the video was designed to have bigfoot attack the cameraman, the Bigfoot would walk away or run away.      -The setting would be in some sort of outdoors, probably wooded area.    That generic happening would be common in nearly any bigfoot video.   It wouldn't make it "Trial Run" or anything else.     This reminds me of the Roger Patterson drawing appearing in Roger's book PRIOR TO the PGF event.  It didn't signal a pre-PGF tell, it was just a drawing inspired largely from other reports.                    

Here is the PGF section link:       For newer members, Kit was a long time and strongly anti-PGF skeptic on here some time back. His postings can still be found in the PGF section if anyone is interested in his comments. I saw those comments a few days ago when all of this broke. I guess he is still around...       Welcome back SW! Supposedly, Bill Munns has seen it, but I do not know that to be a fact. I am very interested in his opinion of this.

Yea like he supposedly said he could have been hoaxed by Roger in the X CREAURES bigfoot show.  But actually, watching the program Gimlin makes no such statement saying he was hoaxed.       

I’m hearing Bob Gimlin confesses to a hoax in this documentary. If that’s true it’s over for the Patterson, Gimlin film.
