Guest 127 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Seems like to me these same "scientists" and enthusiasts find evidence of bigfoot everywhere they go. I've yet to see any of their findings turn out to be more than mere speculation, and innuendo. Proponents often claim that there are no "real scientists" looking into this phenomenon - yet clearly there are and have been for some time. They still have the same results - or rather lack there of. I continue to wonder how long they can claim something is bigfoot evidence without ever having shown a bigfoot to exist to begin with. Seems to be a popular trend in bigfooting "science". Also seems to me these same individuals profit from this.

Guest LAL Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Coleman's view: "Over the last two days, the international media has picked up on releases from those conducting the Snowmen conference in Siberia. Reports began to circulate that “Yeti hunters claim to have discovered ‘indisputable proof’ of the fabled beast after grey hair was found in a remote Russian cave.†Elsewhere, for example, it was noted that “The local administration of the Kemerovo region confirmed on its website that ‘indisputable proof’ has been found that confirms the Yeti, also known as Abominable Snowman, exists. What’s prompted this? Well, they found footprints, his alleged bed and possible hair samples.†In far away Australia, the news was headlined “A Yeti in Siberia? ‘We’re 95 per cent sure,’ say scientists.†The official Russian press release said: “During the expedition to the Azasskaya cave, conference participants gathered indisputable proof that the Shoria mountains are inhabited by the ‘Snow Man.’†To see the phrase “indisputable proof†spread like wildfire has been unfortunate, for there is no zoological or anthropological proof of anything. It appears the conference organizers or the cryptotourism officials of Kemerovo or both were so interested in putting a good spin on the results of their “expedition†that they have overblown the results. These exaggerated Siberian Snowmen claims are not good for cryptozoology. There is no reason to overdo what has been found merely to make an entertaining news story.

Guest Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The means "To see the phrase “indisputable proof†spread like wildfire has been unfortunate, for there is no zoological or anthropological proof of anything.

To an end "Kemerovo region's Shoria is a sparsely populated territory in Western Siberia that has historically been a territory of coal and metal mining. The region, the administrative center of Kuznetsk coal basin, has pursued the elusive Yeti for several years as it tries to develop tourism into its mostly industrial economy." Sounds like an exciting, action packed adventure...! Borscht anyone ??? Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Here is a website that shows some photos. If you click on "read more" you can see the photos. There are some cool photos on there, but the one of the footprint does not look too convincing. Also, there is only one footprint and the ground looks soft. My link If you scroll down there is also a video and Meldrum mentions that there should be more than one footprint. The photos and video are worth checking out.

Guest parnassus Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) The vast Siberian tundra holds untold mysteries, from once-secret nuclear installations to alleged UFO crash sites.Now, a team of scientists insist they are "95%" sure that Russia's wintry expanse is home to the mythical yeti, otherwise known as the abominable snowman. More than a dozen scientists and yeti enthusiasts flew in from Canada, Estonia, Sweden and the US to exchange findings with their Russian counterparts at a day-long conference in the town of Tashtagol, some 2,000 miles east of Moscow in the Kemerovo region. Locals there have reported an increase in sightings of a creature in recent years. A subsequent two-day expedition to the region's Azassky cave and Karatag peak over the weekend "collected irrefutable evidence" of the yeti's existence there, the Kemerovo government said in a statement. "In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti," it added. Scientists also found footprints, a presumed bed and various other markers. "Conference participants came to the conclusion that the artefacts found give 95% evidence of the habitation of the 'snow man' on Kemerovo region territory," the statement said. "I know they exist - I see them every day," conference participant, Robin Lynn, said by telephone from Kemerovo. She insists she has a family of 10 yeti-like creatures living on her land in the US state of Michigan. Evidence of yeti life has allegedly been found in the Himalayas and North America – where the creature is know as sasquatch, or bigfoot. John Binderangel, a Canadian wildlife biologist who has been studying the yeti for 30 years, said the Siberian expedition offered further proof of the beast's existence. "We were shown some twisted willow branches that are referred to as markers - they were convincing evidence of this hominoid," he said. "There were also some tracks, but we're not quite sure what to make of them." Conference participants called for the launch of a campaign to "work out a more serious relationship [to the yeti] in society and mass media", the Kemerovo government said. They also proposed opening a university research centre. The Kemerovo government has hosted a number of stunts aimed at boosting the region's reputation as a yeti centre. Last month, it welcomed former heavyweight boxing champion Nikolai Valuev, as the 7ft "beast from the east" went on his own search for the creature. He reportedly failed. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=448041 More than a dozen scientists and yeti enthusiasts flew in from Canada, Estonia, Sweden and the US to exchange findings with their Russian counterparts at a day-long conference in the town of Tashtagol, some 2,000 miles east of Moscow in the Kemerovo region.

It will be correct to describe the Snowman as our neighbour because it exists concurrently with us, says director of International Hominology Centre in Moscow, Igor Burtsaev. “We have concluded that these living beings are in principle human beings because they can even talk and communicate with people. They are another species that differ from us, of course. Yetis are well adapted to nature. Their life style is similar to that of animals. They do not use tools, clothes or fire but are quite intelligent. They have their own weapons – paranormal capabilities, which have helped them to survive and even compete with humans. They have shifted to another dimension – crepuscular life and live in not easily accessible places,†Igor Burtsaev said. http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/siberia-conf/ Edited October 11, 2011 by parnassus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDL Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It would amuse me greatly if they bring one in. I want to watch the scientific community try to figure out how the square peg fits, and see who is still adamant that there could not be such a hominid in America.

Guest Sasquatch Fan 89 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I really have no opinion on it, just seems like they are trying to increase tourism. Sure they found some little stuff, but it's just that: little stuff. They try to make it out like they found bones, a body, or found out where they gather ect. I think it's just kind of silly.

Guest FootDude Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Scientists and yeti enthusiasts believe there may finally be solid evidence that the apelike creature roams the vast Siberian tundra, reports the Guardian.A team of a dozen-plus experts from as far afield as Canada and Sweden have proclaimed themselves 95% certain of the mythical animal's existence after a daylong conference in the town of Tashtagol in the Kemerovo region, some 2,000 miles east of Moscow. In recent years, locals there have reported sightings of the yeti, also known as the abominable snowman. (LIST: Top 10 Famous Mysterious Monsters) The Kemerovo government announced on Oct. 10 that a two-day expedition the previous weekend to the region's Azassky cave and Karatag peak "collected irrefutable evidence" of yetis' existence on the wintry plateau. "Conference participants came to the conclusion that the artifacts found give 95% evidence of the habitation of the 'snow man' on Kemerovo region territory," read a statement. "In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti," it added. The group also discovered footprints, a presumed bed and various other markers. The scientific community has historically disputed the existence of the yeti given scant conclusive evidence. But numerous sightings of such creatures have been reported in Himalayan countries and in North America, where it is known as Sasquatch, or bigfoot. http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/10/11/scientists-95-sure-bigfoot-lives-in-russian-tundra/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
