Guest 67Mopar Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I don't see anything, other than the trees moving. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbone Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) A Red Circle should help. I'm not sure my link brings up the video in full resolution. I should have tried this in the testing area first. Edited October 7, 2015 by Redbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 67Mopar Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 It looks like it's maybe, a squirrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 67Mopar Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Not a stump... Way too dark. If it's legit, it's more than likely a black panther.I think the black panthers disbanded in the late 70s early 80s and generally operated in more urban enviornments. Gee whiz! Get with the program! Beautiful cat! The state says that there's maybe 200 panthers total in the state, yet the sightings suggest otherwise. I once hit a black panther on Tamiami Trail, heading south to Cape Coral. It was laying in the middle of the road, warming itself on the cement... I only saw it when it looked toward my headlights, but by then it was too late. Lots of sightings in East Orlando, which make me think that the chewed-up drain spout, and the running on the roof may have been a panther.

OkieFoot Posted October 7, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2015 For fun - I found movement in a video made by my dash cam last Thursday. I had stopped in a Squatchy spot in Iowa and took off down a trail to the left. My dash cam was still powered so it recorded in my absence. I noticed some movement (upper right area) as I reviewed the video this week. Can you spot it? Can you tell what it is? Hint: It's not Sasquatch... I'll post the answer in awhile. (hopefully the link works) http://api.smugmug.com/services/embed/4413802094_WCWLmKp?width=640&height=360&albumId=47946035&albumKey=7kwbZS https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-9Hcjk9/i-WCWLmKp It appears like something moves from left to right through the trees beyond the fallen log on the upper right. In the video it appears just above the fallen log. At one point, it appears to stop for a few seconds before moving on. Am I in the ballpark? However, I couldn't make a guess as to what it is.

Redbone Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 This animation business is much easier when the camera is stable. This is magnified about 5x from the original 1080 video. I'll bet you can see it now! (you may need to click to animate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The only black phase cat known by science is a jaguar in north America. Cougars are never black. You should have retrieved the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add; I think it first appeared in view beyond the fallen log at about the 15-16 second mark of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 67Mopar Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The panther is a subspecies of cougar, and yes, there are black panthers in Florida. You don't get out of your vehicle at 3:00 am anywhere in the southern third. I wasn't that far down, but close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that you in the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no such thing as a Cougar that is black. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbone Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) ^^ I was nowhere near it. I was maybe a hundred yards or more in the other direction away from the car. I have a similar video from yesterday but the 'mysterious movement' is easier to identify. It was a rafter of turkeys (I had to Google to find that term). Maybe this evening I will shorten and upload that video as well. I had returned almost a year to the day from my 'possible' sighting at the Shell Rock Preserve near Nora Springs, as discussed in this thread. http://bigfootforums.com/index.php/topic/41373-weird-stuff-encounter-my-family-had-camping-in-northern-iowa/?p=865445 Almost exactly the same thing happened to me again this year. I 'heard' the turkeys so I knew something was up above me as I walked the creek bed. In the same place as last year and in the same way I walked up the bank and spooked something bigger off just beyond the trees. I did not get a good look but I think it was lighter in color than what I saw last year. My camera was pointed that direction but I haven't found any movement in my videos yet (except for the turkeys) Edit to note: I just reached 800 Posts!

dmaker Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 ^ What is your problem, Mopar? I don't suspect we'll be seeing much of you around here in the future. So long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
