1980squatch Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yes, and I am sorry looks like I did not understand completely what information you were after - you obviously don't want to list unknowns if you want the closest known! That being said, that image is not a dead ringer for what I observed but it much closer than any in the known list you provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 as mentioned yesterday, this topic is now pinned at the top of the General Discussion area... I'll leave it here for a while, and at some point down the road if it seems that interest has died off, or there's no recent posts, I'll make a decision to un-pin it at that time... -A- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that many people are like you, saying that BF doesn't look like any of the choices is also very significant. That's why the "none of the above" choice was there. It may mean that we're barking up the wrong tree (or knocking? ) by trying to tie BF into a known hominin or hominid. BF may be a descendent of one of these types that has evolved into something completely different. Or it may be that it is a close relative of one of these types, but the like of hair on these reconstructions and the presence of hair obscurring BF's features is making it impossible to say for sure. It's interesting that the Erickson face has a very human-like nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that the Erickson face has a very human-like nose. And that is the feature in that image that is most unlike what I saw, in which the nose was not that prominent, but was probably much flatter and largely obscured by hair. The relatively thin lips and mustached effect shown in that image is the most similar to what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyO Posted January 16, 2013 SSR Team Share Posted January 16, 2013 B for me, although only because it was the closest and not necessarily exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Or you can always ask one of the BFF's super friendly mods/admins if they would mind pinning a thread- so it remains at the top of the section... We love to help out when we can, not just to deal with the disciplinary stuff.... I'll pin this topic at the top of the General Discussion section for a while, and see if that doesnt help keep interest up ! Art EDIT- ** or tomorrow when we get some of the current ongoing "bugs" worked out of the forums performance.... Thank You Art, it never occurred to me to ask.

Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Another interesting poll question might be: "If you were to see a Bigfoot, which of these would you most expect it to look like?" That would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Of the choices available, I have to go with D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Theagenes Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 AZbigfoot, I'd been hoping you would weigh in. Your sighting is one of the most compelling I've read here. You saw it through a scope, right? Is your choice based more on the hair or the facial features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yes I did, on 9X for well over a minute. I couldn't tell you exactly how long, but it wasn't just a fleeting glimpse. I guess that makes all the difference in the world (to me), as far as reassuring me in what I saw. Had I walked up that ridge a bit later and maybe just caught a peak at something large leaving the scene, I imagine the doubts would had completely taken over. Anyway, the things that really make me choose that particular image are the facial features and the way the head sits on the shoulders. I know it's been said quite a bit, but it really didn't seem to have much of a neck. It certainly didn't have a thin neck with a nice, small, round head like many of the other images show. I also wouldn't say it was totally ape-ish or gorilla like, but it absolutely was not what we've traditionally seen a "caveman" described as. When I've discussed it with the people I hang out with, I've boiled it down to one description and it's about the best I can do. I would call it a "Buffed Patty".

Guest Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Most people are saying "D" so far and there is nothing about that pic that looks human to me. I wonder where the human description is coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernyahoo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I wonder if the "D" selection has as much to do with the build and hair as it does the face. Most descriptions I hear or see suggest a creature with the hair and of "D" but the face of "J". CT. one of the more human descriptions I've seen would be here, from the woodape camp. http://www.texasbigfoot.com/reports/report/detail/429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also my closest, its still isn't perfect but very reminiscent. I posted this a page or so back but have since updated it a little with some subtle animation.

Guest Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) great thread, just want to say thanks again to all. Paige, does that rendition replicate the hair beneath the nose? Could you tell from your view if that nose tip or membranes were wet, or of different texture? I think someone noted a question should be" what did you expect BF to look like" and I think they are alluding to how our world views or bias might influence how we recall....valid point. But, I also think the division seen on this poll might allude to what many feel, there are possibly two or more types? Is a picture more Orang/Lemur like emerging for the SE and the classic Sas the PacNW? Or, the variability is such it is difficult to draw generalities? Like us, from Inuit to Persian, Irish to Zulu...that a "facial look" might be misleading as representing the species? I am curious also, if the dramatic eye shine (nice animation ) I have seen, and others, is "something' that belongs to all" across the species, or only some.... along the same lines as the Rhinum idea..if it is so, then it would be species wide....regardless of look?

Sasfooty Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) This is almost exactly what I saw, except the nose and mouth are too wide, & I think the eyes were solid brown, with no white. He was maybe a few years younger than this picture appears to be, & the hair was a finer texture. I chose D because it was the least "different" one on the list, although very little like what I saw.
