Do y'all remember the old saying, " If you keep doing the same thing over and over, you'll keep getting the same outcome"? I think that's a lot of the problem. People assume or believe they know what bigfoot is so they keep looking for physical evidence, which at this point, will have to be a body. I don't think that will work either and I'll tell you why. I've kept this opinion under wraps for years but I'm dying of metastatic breast cancer that has now spread to major organs, so I don't have much time left to tell the tale. Many years ago, I went to Selma, Alabama to investigate a giant skeleton on display in a restaurant that was supposedly Cheif Tuscaloosa. For those who aren't familiar, Cheif Tuscaloosa was documented by the Spanish to be over 8 feet tall. I suspected that this skeleton wasn't human or some historic Indian Chief, so I went on down to Selma to check it out. The owner of the restaurant provided the documentation from the US government that the skeleton was over 7 feet tall. They took that skeleton for further study, but what they returned was obviously a human skeleton typical of what you would find in an anatomy class in school. I measured the skeleton and it was only slightly taller than me. These medical school skeletons can sometimes be a conglomeration of bones from different people. I took a toe bone for DNA analysis but after talking to a well-known geneticist we decided it wasn't worth the effort to do DNA testing based on what I found. The point I'm getting at is that no matter what you believe bigfoot to be it is a real phenomenon. I say that because the government obviously swapped out those skeletons and sent a regular human skeleton back to the owners instead of the original skeleton. I'm pretty sure the documents that she showed me were legitimate, she did not realize the skeleton was swapped out until I examined it and it didn't fit the measurements on the documentation. The government wanted that original skeleton for a reason, now what they found out is anyone's guess. The same will happen if someone manages to obtain a type specimen. All I can say is when you look down into the abyss, it certainly looks back at you. Keep that in mind as you continue your quest for truth. I think the government knows what they are and it is probably nothing that we assume it to be. I think people that are interested in bigfoot get bored with the same results, or lack of results, that happens over and over again when you simply look for physical evidence, keeping the focus and assumptions about a being so narrow.

Three months later (almost), can we stick a needle in this one?

Long time since I've been on here, so I jumped on this am after seeing this article floating around on Reddit. Does anyone know someone that was in attendance? Any ideas how the community is going to react? For me personally knowing Bob it bothers me a bit but at the end of the day what does it look like if the PG Film gets gutted as a pillar of proof for so many? On our radio show, I called it last year in our year in review that the fate of the bigfoot community will stand in their ability to adapt to coming change. The change may be here, and it's not the DNA project that's been slow moving, it's a pillar being shook that many have held onto as the foundation of proof for what they think is out there. The world is far stranger than we understand, there is more out there than we can see with out own two eyes. In my opinion, the truth of the Sasquatch rests within the First Nations stories and not in some dusty film canister from 1967. What's the general here consensus at the moment? https://www.austinchronicle.com/screens/sxsw-film-review-capturing-bigfoot/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQg6ZtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoNHhyTTJiamNYcWxZRjVYc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHi7cW4mJJFjY2H7KROAh4hcPrF00rtvtsmjF4z530FkcM4xD70JokAmgF-ss_aem_7Dleq1MsNeJ1hkkm2nHgPg

I have not seen this film, and will not, but I will speculate about it within the overall history of sasquatchery since 1955 (the Jerry Crew event). Firstly, it is most similar to the Greg Long book thus far. Long's book was an immediate hit with the skeptic community, and it became their bible. Since its publication, it rose quickly in prominence, but since has been roundly considered a hoax in and of itself among all who give it any measure of honest consideration. The skeptic community still tries to defend it amongst themselves, but appear to be True Believers by many, and the scientific community pretty much ignores them. Indeed, there is increasing interest in the phenomenon by the scientific community, especially the DNA field, and this probably frightens the skeptic community. Secondly, the commercial side of sasquatchery is exploding. Cartoonish and AI sasquatches are all over YouTube and commercial products. My grandson bought me Bigfoot shampoo and hair conditioner for my birthday last fall. It's nuts. My family buys me Bigfoot T-shirts all the time. If sasquatches exist or not in biology, they clearly exist in fantasy and imaginations BIG TIME, and it's growing. This alone is crushing the skeptic religion. They're done in the short term regardless of "discovery". That's the primary reason why I speculate that this film is desperation, and may even be the reason why they produced it. They know they're on the ropes.

Desperation. But, really, just putting the headline out there sucks in and bolsters the spirits of their own tribe. Not much else.

^^^ Surprising that the documentary exposing a major hoax pulled on the news media, Americans, and the world hasn't been snapped up like a Denny's Grand Slam special and been broadcast on 20 different channels already, isn't it. I forget, do we have an official sarcasm font here?

So sorry to hear this news. You are in our thoughts and prayers!🙏❤️ And thank you for sharing your story. I too think that the Government isn’t telling us the truth. And much of my opinion is based on researching giant skeletons.

His assessment is spot on in that video footage doesn't mean much, but paired with hair and DNA, then suddenly it does add to the complete picture. If someone videos a sasquatch and videos collecting hair samples, DNA samples and videos footprints and the DNA and hair comes back positive, then the video takes on a whole new meaning. If I videoed a sasquatch, I would be happy just having the video, because it would prove it to me. I count him fortunate to have videoed something that isn't easy to explain away, that in all honesty, I think it may be what he was looking for. That is if he is indeed telling the truth.

Both videos were interesting and it's too bad that others can't play them. It's hard to imagine an ape that is 12 feet high that can get enough protein by eating ants that infested a stick as shown on the film. Maybe there is enough protein or special minerals required to remain healthy. Gigantopthecus was probably a plant eater unlike some of Africa's primates. I wonder if it deevolved and became smaller over time and transformed into the present day African gorilla as this film depicted.

Thanks for the info, Chris, I'm on Telus as well. I'll try a different browser. OK, I got it to play on Chrome, it just didn't like Microsoft Edge.
