I think Matilda is a hoax. Based on the comparison pictures I posted. I cannot speak for your sighting, but I note that you were observing it through binos.
I believe the PGF to be real. And I do not feel that it looks like a wookie, other than being tall and hairy.
Nope, if you were there where I was just as the sun was setting on a very cold day. Nobody was back there except me. It's like saying somebody knew I was going to go to this very remote spot on a very steep rugged mountain side where nobody ever goes and lays down a fake Bigfoot track just for me to see. Highly unlikely! Matilda's head isn't quite like Chewbacca anyways, hair is different for one.
Pay the 30 bucks. Take her sequence and try to make sense of it yourself or pay a lab to? I hear its like a 10 page PDF file.

Or just look at Matilda on the front page of the website. I mean its an obvious hoax as far as Im concerned. Its kinda hard to get DNA from a Chewbacca costume. Even Todd Standing wasn't lazy enough of a con man to buy his Bigfoot costumes from a Star Wars online shop.
