If it’s real? Do you get to keep your arms? 🤣

Depends on her mood I suppose lol. I'm currently typing this one handed after testing the theory with my wife 😂.

If what Eric is saying here is accurate, Meldrum was stunned and said it looks like a test run for the pg film. It's 30min long but worth the listen. 

 

Again, going back to my opening statement, what I saw, what 75% of our report base states, and many other reports around NA, what I saw only looked like Patty in the sense that it was covered in hair. Sasquatch stories predate the PGF and will likely continue until human extinction. The truth is out there, it's just not likely to be anything close to what we think it is.

Seeing is believing I guess, I will withhold judgement til I see it.

I am not a huge fan of Money maker. But I think he is right, it comes down to the suit.
 

And as I said before we shall see if it stacks up.

Q&A with Eric Palacios (the guy who saw the Capturing Bigfoot documentary and whose YouTube debrief was posted earlier).

In this YouTube video, you get good questions from Todd Prescott and Thomas Steenburg.

Eric provides clarifications about what was claimed in the video.

so my understanding of this threads to sum up in cliffs is this:

 

-Theres a new documentary that came out that doesn't disprove Sasquatch, but casts doubt about the 1967 PGF with the 1966 PAF to draw viers to the idea that the 167 PGF is bs, and that sasquatch isnt real

 

-and to this day the PGF is still inconclusive 

 

something like that to sum it up?

Also apparently Bob is interviewed in the documentary. another quote from the director.

"Yes, Bob saw the new footage and gives a very compelling answer to it. People will need to use their own judgment on what and when he knew." 

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

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.

Here is the PGF section link:

That quote is exactly what Joshua Kitakaze posted on the Facebook page for Coalition for Critical Thinking in Bigfoot thinking.

 

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...

Does anyone know someone that was in attendance? Any ideas how the community is going to react?

 

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.

[Backdoc]

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.

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.

A great deal of rumors, innuendo, and supposition being put forth about what people "hear, imagine, and think" what's revealed in the "new" documentary. 

 

Has anyone personally actually viewed this documentary?

 

Buehler, Buehler?

Same here. I could not read the entire thing since I do not do FB, but what I did read was on target in my opinion.

Unless they were at SXSW, I doubt it. Guessing at some point in the not too distant future, it will start appearing on streaming services.

Hairymanroad, a YouTuber, went to SXSW to watch the second screening. Based off of his, and one other individual who went to a screening from the BF community the 40sec of 1966 film, in the words of Jeff Meldrum, "looked like a test run". Then goes on to describe how "it was "patty" but slightly different, a different guy in the suit. The lines were all the same."

 

It's not looking great guys. Steenberg, and small handful of others, seem to have been told the same message from Meldrum starting in April of 25. "Something big is coming in relation to the PG-film".

I want to see the film too, they are shopping around for a market release but according to the director they have two more film festivals to attend before anything like that will happen.
