The only people for whom Bigfoot is real are those who have witnessed one. The rest of us are voyeurs, and stand like the spear carriers on the back row of the chorus of the opera while the large lady out front in the horned helmet sings her aria....we know something is happening, we just don't know what it is, do we Mr. Jones? Most of us with half a brain understand it is rude to appear to know it all when we haven't done the homework. Naish appears to be of the other kind. That you could get a piece published by Scientific American by trotting out all the old tropes and bundling them up as authority because, you know, you are a SCIENTIST! is not too surprising at all. But, (As DWA would remind us all...) Science is as Science does. A million Naishes spouting that view is no more valuable to science than a million bee-lee-vers spouting the opposite. They are cut of the same cloth, and neither help get at the truth. And I'll say it again, if this all a social construct, THAT headline renders the idea of BF ho-hum. But let's play that game for a second, Mr. Science Man: You have your hypothesis, now tell me how you test it. I'll tell you how, and this where every one of these poseurs shirks their responsibility to their discipline: You make a serious effort to prove existence, pull no punches, take no prisoners. (Don't waste your breath telling me that has happened already...HA!) Failing to find it after that is done? Well, I'd switch my bet, I can tell you that. Until then, blog away.

Probably the most likely explanation, in my humble view.If you saw a bike we wouldn't be having this discussion. It's unseen if you don't see it. There is a logical reason you can't see it if you are only seeing the chest arms and head of a human like creature (that may be human). The same reason you don't see a Bigfoots legs, if that is what it is. Oh I think it's human or human like enough. That just doesn't rule out BF. I have the Great North film on Blue Ray. And can watch the whole film along with the whole scene in question. You cannot pinpoint the turn because the left arm leads the whole time. That means it's not a dude on a bike riding down and away from the viewer. I challenge you and any other viewer to show where the arms swap lead indicating the body turn. You can't do what the creature is doing on a bike. If it was a guy on a bike you would have frames of the person in perfect side profile. Its not there. That means it is on foot and backed back down the hill. That fits with the idea it was preying upon the caribou and keeping itself in position to pounce on the caribou as they entered that gulley, be it man or wildman. As long as we are thinking logically, Mr Reeve has not shown any prior interest in bigfoot, and he seems like a man that would have immediately squashed the idea of this figure being anything but a crew member if he thought there was even a chance it was one of his guys. He knows he doesn't need the controversy surrounding his character.

Who could expect a scientist to take an interest after all the portal and mindspeak nonsense the community is saturated with? t.

Yah, Wendijo, sometimes the alternatives and suggestions are harder to believe than the possibility that bigfoot exists.

^^ Thought the Warning graphic would be enough of a hint as I also thought everyone would remember what was stated in post #15 on this thread. You're right hiflier, I don't know either WV Footer or gigantor but I've read through enough of their posts to know that as you said, "They don't pull legs." And thanks for the welcome, been a member for a while but just never posted much and was relegated to the Readers group recently due to being inactive for a little while.

Hey WV FOOTER, it's far more likely you were: a. mistaken b. stressed c. mentally primed to have an out of ordinary experience morph into Bigfoot d. pulling our legs

Hey, you guys know me pretty well by now. You know I like to look at things from different angles and so I would present a thought here that may prove interesting: SIZE. I've been watching where and at what estimated distance the figure is when just before ducking down behind the rise. The herd in front that's running along the water sees a group turn toward the rise where the figure has now ducked all the way down. As the herd gets closer to the spot the Caribou obviously seem to get smaller and smaller with distance. Almost at the rise they turn to the right. At that point one can somewhat judge the size of the guy-on-bike? IMO the figure is not small. I can only judge shoulder width and maybe head size but still.... Oh yeah, pick it apart because I wasn't there with a ruler

It has been 4 summers now that I have been researching to whatever degree the notion of the Urban Bigfoot, what I have discovered is wherever there is ample greenway and food sources with water, adjacent to larger tracks of open land, you will find an occasional sasquatch family using the area. The problem is how can you know exactly when these intrusions into the more populated areas occur? I will tell you that it happens after the point the foliage becomes full. It really depends also on the resources they might be capitalizing on. My backyard marsh becomes 7 foot cattails in later June, they seem to visit the area shortly after that, earlier in the month the cattails are about waist high. Is it simply a matter of cover, or is their a resource like the cattail tuber they might be eating? If I were to look at a map of any urban area I would first look for the streams and rivers, then larger greenways both connected to larger outer open tracks and small inner greenways. This would be my first thought, then I would visit the BFRO and John Greens Data base and see where sightings in an area have occurred, I can tell you with a fair degree of certainty the two will line up. Rivers, streams and sasquatch. Now examine the types of resources they might capitalize on, berries, apple orchards, marsh tubers, and of course the occasional deer or coyote and smaller protein sources like frogs and fish. I am certain that if an area has an abundance of a certain resource at a given time of year that is one narrowing down factor, now find several of those factors in proximity both in location and timing, your getting closer. The more of those you can put together the closer you are to saying they will be in a certain area at a certain time. Case in point, farm fields with available crops, river with fish and crayfish and shellfish, deer population, organic food sources like berries, tubers, et, find as many in close proximity and availability and begin your research. I live adjacent to the Fox River, in this area we have a chain of lakes, I live in the center of all the lakes on an Island of sorts, although it is only so because of a narrow channel that is bridged in several places. On this river, only a couple of miles north of me is a state park with large open areas. There are vast open marsh areas and protected pockets of forest within those areas, current food sources in my area are plentiful including berries, marsh tubers, fish, deer, coyote, new crops like soybeans and corn just beginning to bear fruit, and plenty of local gardens about to do the same. Besides that you have local bird feeders of all shapes and sizes, large frog and reptile populations, smaller mammals in abundance, and fruit bearing trees nearly ready to bear ripe fruit. I would say that spells ample food sources and protection.

I wonder how many first nations people in that part of Canada even own a mountain bike or even know what one is? Maybe four wheelers. But I'm with Norse. That would be killer terrain to try riding in. And I don't mean fantastic. They don't usually wear your basic black either. Denims, flannels, all a little more colorful than black. No ghillie suites either. The point of a ghillie suit is to hide. If that's what they were wearing we probably wouldn't have noticed them. Black just doesn't cut it. I did see the dark head. Behind the 1st one, go up and duck back down. So whoever they were even with that bad YouTube reproduction there were at least two.

Seems like the Utah guy has sort of "come clean". He now says he wants to produce documentaries and netflix content. Funny, on his channel a few videos back from his most recent ones he was stating that his ability with videogrpahy/audio was rudimentary but now... full on documentaries. I suppose you can beg for a lot more money if you claim it's for a movie and television content but now at least he isn't begging for money for a $12k flir.....
