Believer57 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Hi, There have been countless stories and partial videos of possible Bigfoots throwing rocks to intimidate unwanted visitors or even to harm them. On the "Finding Jay" documentary, and new "Lost and Found" bonus material, he was hit in the head by a rock after shaking a tree. We all know that shaking a tree is considered an aggressive maneuver so I just don't understand why Jay would have done it. He got lucky. This new video analyzed by ThinkerThunker may contain the first recorded evidence (although it is low quality) of a Bigfoot throwing a rock. What is your opinion?

NatFoot Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Throws like a pitcher. Should tell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer57 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'm seeing an underhand throw with a very long arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believer57 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 The video was interesting to me because of the rock throwing and I like the techniques that ThinkerThunker uses to analyze aspects of it. Perhaps he will find a contact to further vet the video. Maybe in another 5 years, most people will have a newer cell phone with better cameras. I knew a couple people at work that were still using flip phones. When I first saw the "Bigfoot vs. Buffalo" footage from Mary Greely News, I thought that the four figures was just a family passing through. Well, I was right but they weren't human. As long as I'm babbling, I should also mention that I like Leon's Bigfoot Okanagan channel as well. He does a great job vetting things and is easy to watch. Cheers!

NatFoot Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I thought it was fairly accepted that the 4 figures in the buffalo shot were cross country skiers. Am I remembering that right? Or was the argument they couldn't be because of "xyz"? My memory is foggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer57 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) It was actually your latter "xyz" statement. Granted, that video was from 2014 so you still have a better memory than I do. There was a follow-up video in 2015 about the "Top 5 Objections".

Madison5716 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) An acquaintance of a friend reported to her that a very angry bigfoot threw beachball sized rocks at them from across the river. I absolutely believe they can throw rocks. Looks like a side arm throw to me. Cool video. Wish there was follow up for scale.

I recently "Joined" the ThinkerThunker Tribe ($1/mo.) and started watching the Members Only videos. There is some pretty cool stuff in there!

BobbyO Posted February 28, 2021 SSR Team Share Posted February 28, 2021 I looked in to 'objects thrown' a lot recently and found what i believe were some pretty interesting numbers, or lack of them in this case. Also looked in to the general 'throwing' mechanism of both humans and other non human primates and created a couple of documents that i'll attempt to attach if anyone's interested. Chimp Rock Throwing - I've highlighted what i believe to be the most relevant parts of a study in West Africa that points towards 'objects thrown' as being a cultural behavior, meaning not all Chimps do it, with it only being found in specific geographical populations, which is real interesting to me for a number of reasons. Moder(n) Human Throwing Techniques - Again, i've highlighted what i feel is the most relevant info.

Believer57 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Very cool! Thank you for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyO Posted February 28, 2021 SSR Team Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'll elaborate more on the data part here, and will try and upload an animated gif that i pray will work as they could potentially show visually that cultural behavior where 'objects thrown' are concerned could be within our subject, as well as the West African Chimps. Here's some numbers first. Western Washington Overall - 1/14 reports consist of 'objects thrown' out of 607 reports total. Washington Cascades - 1/14 reports consist of 'objects thrown' out of 419 reports total. Washington Olympic Peninsula - 1/13 reports consist of 'objects thrown' out of 165 reports total. Eastern Washington - 0 reports consist of 'objects thrown' out of 83 reports total. And here's the visualization of that and for clarity's sake, the dots are seasonal colored data points (green - spring, red - summer, brown - fall, blue - winter).

hiflier Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Seriously BobbyO? As much as 17 kg? Granted it's not the norm, but that's a little over 37 lbs. Incredible! Edited February 28, 2021 by hiflier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer57 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 It's working great! What do you make of the 0 reports from Eastern Washington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
