I saw the female… she was lifting weights in Bejing! Got the Gold!

Gorillas were so smart in avoiding the Greenies; “125000 Gorillas “Found”"
But like the UniBomber, satellite spied, cannot hide from US

The BigFoot, with BigBrain, sighted everywhere, check GoogleMap

My uncle, who matches that description, has gone missing. Can you maybe help me find him?

I understand this is a blog in nature, and your opinion is scattered throughout the article without specifically saying “you don’t believe.” However, if individuals didn’t search for ‘fairy tales’ it would be a boring world already having known about everything with the exception of GOD.

I think with recent discoveries of the Large Gorilla population previously undiscovered, and recent dead-captures of Giant Sea Squids are proof there is alot out there on our own planet we have yet to fully understand, document and place within our comfortable naming conventions. I think its great people like this share their experiences, and more imporntantly HOPE for more than what science currently dictates as plausible.

Hey! 124,000 lowland gorillas were able to hide from us up until last week. This may be the year of all thats left to come out.

Why don’t you show the photo of this beast like Yahoo news did. Then maybe you’d curb your ridiculous opinion. Just because something hasn’t been proven doesn’t mean it cannot be or is not so. Pictures are worth a thousand words and these folks didn’t just jump into calling this thing Big Foot without putting science into the mix first. Check it out for yourself!

If this was truly a “BF” why display it in a Freezer, looking like a rental costume? If it is truly a body than it need to be studied emperically and confirmed for what it is. Untill then it will never be taken seriously other than getting requestes as to which costume retnal place they shop at.

It is going to take more than DNA evidence considering that to this point they have no DNA to cross reference it with. Give the evidence over, let it be studied and confirmed as to what it really is before spouting off in hopes of generating revenue. They do no credit to themselves, or their feild of “expertise”.

Scientists estimate there are still millions of undiscovered species in the world..Now sure, Most of these “Mystical Creatures” do not exist.: The Jersey devil, Nessie, The “MEXICAN” account of the chupacabra (Though the video shot in Texas was no normal dog with mange) Most likely do not exist. However, with the millions of acres of forest and woodlands in the United States alone, how hard would it really be for an intelligent primate to hide out? Scientists just discovered 125,000 gorillas in the congo, more than twice the amount believed to have existed and here in the U.S. very few people live off the land anymore and its a lot easier to stay hidden in the U.S. wilderness today than 150 years ago. Now has the body really been found? I don’t know, but does such a creature exist? I believe so. There has been strange DNA found in ontario, Canada that is identical to human DNA with one nucleotide polymorphism that is shared with chimps. If this supposed body they have found matches that DNA, I think we have a new species on our hands.

Making money off Bigfoot should be considered the same as stealing someone’s identity and robbing them blind. It’s too bad that there’s some people that fall for these kinds of scams. These are long term scams involving thousands of nit wits over the course of years, just like Lochness. It’s not some sort of great dumb invention like the pet rock. Nobody ever believed that the pet rock was alive.

There’s tons of Bigfoot items listed on Craigslist countrywide.Check them out here:

Have Fun!!

There are some researchers who take the subject of Sasquatch more seriously than Mr. Biscardi and company. Those serious researchers already know that this is hoax. The Bigfoot Research Organization (www.bfro.net) is one of the organizations that takes the subject seriously and states that this is a hoax on their website (with some evidence on the character of the people involved). It’s a shame because there is a lot of evidence that something is out there: footprints, sightings, historical accounts, Indian Legends and some film. Unfortunately, when hoaxes like this happen, it only makes the general public more skeptical of the whole subject.

Adolf Hitler has been found playing the slots on an Indian Reservation and those cavemen we see on TV ads are actual cavemen.

“There are more things, in Heaven and Earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Oh, and the Boogeyman says, “Hi.” : ) Hey, anything’s possible, and a little “extraordinary” might perk up the “ordinary” a little bit; we could use a little silly diversion right about now, don’cha think?

Assuming some of you skeptic believe in God, why is the possibility of Big Foot and others so out of the question for you? It would seem, if God exists, nothing is impossible.

They also said that the giant squid was a mythical beast invented by superstitious sailors until one was caught. Its a lot easier to prove something that exists does than it is to prove that something which doesn’t exist doesn’t.

Obviously someone way back had carnal knowledge of buffaloes.

There’s a huge problem with today’s science that everyone is overlooking. The problem is essentially twofold. First, most scientists go very deep into one specific subject and never correlate their findings with others to form a more cohesive and total picture of what’s out there. Secondly, they are a very dogmatic bunch when it comes to any “new” ideas that fly in the face of the “accepted” current theories. They’re credibility is they’re life and they are EXTREMELY conservative when it comes to accepting another’s perspective. It took decades for people to realize Einstein wasn’t an idiot. Only after others began to verify his research did people beleive he was the real deal. The Ceolacanth was supposed to be extinct for 65 million years and they caught a huge one in Japan about 20 years ago. What about the fact that the African mountain gorillas were thought to be “mythical” too until a British expeditioner brought back the body of one in 1902. These guys are probably idiots and this is probably a hoax but it doesn’t diminish the fact that there are many…..MANY things out there that we don’t know about.

People, historically, always need SOMETHING (albeit incredible) to believe in.

The harsh reality is, what separates this finding, if you will, from almost any religion. In fact, there is probably more science based on what may or may not have been “discovered” here, than in ANY religion.

We talk about mythical, mystical creatures and how those savvy “entrepeneurs” can soon separate a fool from his money, however, which is more plausible for the human psyche?
That which someday in our present conscious awareness BE tangible and support efforts to bringing that knowledge to fruition? Or that which only becomes realized after death (supposing some such realization actually has the ability to manifest itself)?

I would bank my frivolous tendencies on the former, if I had no choice but to be frivolous and abandon any science that would otherwise “lay waste” to speculation.

Just my $.02

It never ceases to amaze me how the media is so smug and flippant when it comes to those things that might destabilize its precious status quo.

From all over the world, credible people have been consistently reporting credible evidence for the existence of this species which calls into question everything science THINKS it knows.

However, rather than employ any true investigative journalism on this and similar EYE OPENERS, the media belittles anything that threatens its steady drum beat of politics as usual and its parading of irrelevant children inhabiting what WAS ONCE Hollywood.

Today, I’m sure you’ll also mention alternative fuels, such as solar, wind and nuclear - everything that WONT change the status quo, free the masses or unseat the powerful.

God forbid we were to lay our hands on that zero point energy the US Airforce has been covering up for 30 years and not have to pay the powerful anymore. But you kids wont seriously investigate that, will you. Let’s not upset THAT applecart.

Is this a real body being revealed today? I hope so. Because then everyone has to ask, “what else is real that the experts and media DON’T want us to know about AND WHY?!”

If this is not a real body? It does not change the fact that evidence of such a species already exists in pandemic proportions.

But you people barely give this story or other challenges to the establishment anything but a flippant sound bite. With all of you it’s always the same. “Look here. Something shiny, something shiny – DON’T LOOK OVER THERE!”

And now FRIENDS - (in my best Art Fern) - back TO…

… John Edwards, John McCain, King Hussein, Barack Obama, The Dollie Lama AND Wolf Blitzer as the Absent Minded, Epileptic Electrician IN…

…Stanley Kramer’s immortal classic – IT’S A DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMNED WORLD.

My question would be why would anyone want to make up a hoax like this? If this is not real the backlash will be far greater than anticipated. i just dont see what there is to gain. it does not further the cuase any so I am sitting on the edge of my chair and waiting for the announcement this afternoon. nothing like being a child again and beleiving in Sea Monkeys.

The willing suspension of disbelief…people believe these things because they *want* to believe them…because they choose to believe in something more than their common, everyday lives. It’s a shame there are so many charlatans out there who survive to suck these people dry, but there have always been and I guess always will be snake oil salesmen out their fleecing the vulnerable. No, I don’t believe in Bigfoot or Nessie but I believe in a world that refuses to stop believing in fairy tales

Seems to me the doubters are people who have not read all the evidence collected over the years and available on the net and elsewhere. Suddenly they hear that a body has been found (seen before but not found) and it becomes an occasion for much sarcasm.
I had an elderly cousin who found characteristic Bigfoot footprints in the snow in her rural Connecticut front yard several years ago; took a picture. Anyone could see (I did) two sets of prints, one larger than the other, diverging and then meeting up again, continuing on up through the forest. I measured the stride of the larger because it was easy to count the steps taken from the drive to the apple tree in the middle of the yard. The stride was about 7 feet. Needless to say, there was no other way on earth to account for the footprints.
There have been so many credible sightings that it should come as no surprise that a body has finally been found. Why not rejoice in the science of discovery?

I want so badly for one of these to be real just to punk all the smarmy know it all scientists. Remember when Sacccharin was going to kill us all from cancer? Now it’s safe? What changed in 20 years? Of course the scientists are NEVER wrong.

As someone who has eaten bigfoot meat, I would say don’t be to fast to judge them people. The woods is big and somebody or something could hide there for a long time. People could hide there forever if they didn’t die (about 70 years). If you haven’t seen a bigfoot, that you means you haven’t seen one, not that they don’t exist. I think you will be surprised when them guys show the body. I hope they eat some of it. It is very good.

It is most likely a hoax. Here is an explanation from another bigfoot website: http://www.bfro.net/hoax.asp

As an avid fisherman and outdoorsman I can attest that once you’ve walked more than a mile into the woods you are where 99% of people haven’t been because people these days are pretty lazy-we’ve only explored 5% of our oceans and there are new species being discovered there on every expedition–why do people on almost every continent claim to have seen these things? I’m not convinced either way at this point but I can say its foolish to put blind faith in existing science as we know it.

This Bigfoot thing is probably a hoax, but I don’t think the idea of a small population of North American apes is all that far-fetched. I don’t know if such creatures exist, but we find new species or rediscover species thought to be extinct all the time.

Does anyone do their research. These guys are fakes!! Here is proof!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRcKClMRz4I

Second one with the admission

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMEsD3_J2DQ&feature=related

I say let’s see it, NOW

If they really had something , they wouldn’t be monkeying around…

yawn.

I think the author of this article is an idiot. Let’s talk about Loch Ness, the author calls it “relatively small”. A quick check at Wikipedia lets you know that loch ness is approximately 23 miles long. I wouldn’t call that relatively small unless you’re comparing it to the ocean.
As far as Bigfoot goes, the supposed creature has been sighted in nearly every state of the U.S. Just recently, over 125,000 rare gorilla’s were found living in the Northern Congo Republic, which just goes to show that we don’t know so much about this big world we live in as we’d like to think!

Come on.
Everyone saying that Bigfoot is real has got to step back and think about this for a second.
There isn’t a chance in hell.

First off if you have the real thing, why only release pictures and DNA, why not show the real thing.
Also, regardless of how large American forests are there is no possibility something like this, even if it was incredibly intelligent could hide out for periods of time far beyond that which any living mammal has been known to live.

whoever is backing these fools is way out of thier mind. Just look at the way the bigfoot is displayed, in a freezer? with guts on top of its body? Please…..Now, I can understand the recent sightings of giant squids and endangered gorillas, but bigfoot is on a league of its own. It is a species completely unheard of or seen of. Now, I can understand that somewhere out there, a big foot could exist. I am not denying the possibility. But, just look at your sources, 2 nobodies who just ran into a family of bigfoots? And happened to find one dead and just stored it in a freezer box? Atleast show me some photos of the live ones. Everything about this just makes me believe its a hoax. I don’t understand how it garnered so much attention in one day.

Ken: We already knew lowland gorillas existed, and we’ve had physical proof for thousands of years. It’s not the same as the Bigfoot case.

Mary E: There are plenty of other ways to account for the footprints. Your assertion that the only explanation is the existence of a hitherto unknown (to science) North American primate is absurd and false.

As Kevin stated, this latest story has already been debunked. (The photo of the “body” in the freezer shows a mask from a known Bigfoot costume.)

Skeptics and good scientists will follow the evidence. So far there is no credible evidence for the existence of a population of an unknown primate native to North America. There are anecdotes, hoaxes, unexplained sightings and unexplained footprints (which may be hoaxes and exaggerations). The unexplained stuff is simply ignorance. We don’t know what it is. You can’t use ignorance to prove anything.

forecaster: Loch Ness is in fact relatively small (especially in terms of its biota) in considering it an environment to support a population of plesiosaur-type creatures.

Sorry, but brfo.net lost all credibility about halfway down when it claimed Al Sharpton was a “respectable” defender of minority rights. Whether it actually is a hoax or not I’ll guess we’ll discover soon enough, but based on what I read it seems like bfro.net is more interested in character assasination than anything else.

Swing and a miss.

I knew this was just a bunch of good ‘ol boys trying to make a buck when the story first aired. If they had shot a “real” big foot, I am sure they would have laid the poor thing out next to a measuring tape or hung from a hunting scale just to prove how big it truly was. Thats what hunters do when they shoot big game. This was their first mistake, lol.

Forcemaster (sorry, I mistyped your handle above): And do the number of people who have “sighted” Elvis, space aliens, apparitions of the Virgin Mary and garden fairies lend credence to the existence of any of those things?

I already addressed the lowland gorilla case. It bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Bigfoot story. My local zoo has a group of lowland gorillas in their “Jungle of the Apes” exhibit. We’ve got incontrovertible proof of their existence, and have had for centuries. We even knew they existed in the area where this large population was recently surveyed. The only surprise was how many there were.

I have believed in Big Foot for years. In building a rail road in Canada they captured a baby Big Foot and shipped him back to England. He died enroute and was thrown overboard. I have a good reciept for crow. Nail him to a plank and roast in hot oven for two hrs. Then throw the crow away and eat the plank!
That is for all you smart asses!

Does anyone besides me see the fishiness in all this? Why is the press conference in California (where the bigfoot body won’t be shown) instead of Georgia, where they could have the press take a look at the body for themselves? It kind of breeds skepticism when you just present “DNA” evidence that could have been taken from literally anywhere. Why not show it along with something tangible, like a body?

Also, if anyone wants to pay the $5000 fee to go look at a patch of North Georgia woods, I’ll take you for $500. I live literally one county away from where this thing was “found,” and it’s in the middle of a wildlife management area…which means this bigfoot family had to evade literally thousands of deer hunters over the years. Hmm….

Now I’m thinking that these guys are lying. My uncle just showed me a place in the Bible that talks about bigfoots and it says that when they die they get taked straight up to heaven so I doubt anybody could have a bigfoot body and that would explain why nobody ever found one. Now I know that I never ate bigfoot meat and I was lied to. It was probably just bear meat or maybe Florida stink ape.

I tend to side with commenter #4 Joseph.

I dont’ think this throws science to the wayside, I think it opens up the idea there are many things undiscovered. I could even venture further to say God would sometimes have to put Scientists in their place by revealing things unknown to man today. With all respect to Science, that I believe is inspired by God who created all, we should always keep an open mind. Where would science be if we didn’t.

Is it real? I have no idea. I am a little dismayed about the big issue made of his foot size as my son truthfully also has a size 15 shoe and it took years to get him over his ‘big feet’ complex…and he’s no ‘big foot’ .

I think if they can prove the DNA is not Gorilla/Ape nor Human then we could be convinced it is not a hoax. However usually when these “hoaxes” occur it is in the form of a snapshot or some grainy video. In this case they offer the entire specimin which would suggest they either know that this is a true discovery or are ignorant to the fact that their specimin is an Ape/Gorilla etc

The fact that the Indians knew about this creature pretty much tells me there has to be something out there.

Kris: “This Bigfoot thing is probably a hoax, but I don’t think the idea of a small population of North American apes is all that far-fetched. I don’t know if such creatures exist, but we find new species or rediscover species thought to be extinct all the time.”

It *is* pretty far-fetched. We do NOT find large species of a clade unknown to an area except extremely rarely. We do NOT rediscover species thought to be extinct all the time. I’ll bet the number of mammals that fit this category could be counted on one hand.

(Just for clarification, the two species of coelacanths discovered were “new” species–new to science, that is– and not ones known from the fossil record. It was considered a “living fossil” because the entire order was thought to be extinct. This was not a case of rediscovering a species thought to be extinct. And even that discovery was a surprising enough thing to have been widely reported in the popular press.)

A great ape native to North America would require a lot of re-writing of what we know of the great apes. Presumably the species would still have had to come out of Africa (as did all the other great apes), spread throughout Asia and crossed the land bridge into North America during an Ice Age. If it were as widespread and successful as humans, we almost certainly would have found fossil evidence and other physical remains by now.

They should leave the rest of the creatures ALONE!!!! How would you like to have a member of your family trapped and taken away to have experiments done on them. These creatures have been here a long time and never hurt anyone. What gives these people the right to capture them. LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!

Mr. Comer:

What science, exactly, is brought into question by the existing of a Big Foot, if one were found? It doesn’t undermine, contradict or refute any aspect of biology. So, can you be more specific?

And, what is this “credible evidence” of which you speak? Care to share that, or are vague references the best you have to offer?

The only thing worse than dogmatic cynicism is blind acceptance.

I enjoyed your humor filled blog about this supposed “proof” of Bigfoot (Sasquatch). As an admitted uniformed person in the world of Cryptozoology, I would not expect you to understand the significance of what a find this would be.

The facts are this. These animals (not monsters, or just one “bigfoot”) have been sighted and or heard in all 49 Continental States as well as Canada for many , many years. The Native American languages have many names for these animals and in the Pacific-Northwest, over 700 places are named after the animals in the various Native American languages. They’ve known about them for as long as they could tell stories. Carvings have been found clearly showing an ape-like face on Totems, and such made way before Europeans arrived. According to science, there have never been apes in North America. So Where did they get the likeness?
In the modern age, even Teddy Roosevelt writes of an encounter while hunting in the Northwest, and then there’s the film footage (some possibly real, some totally fake) thats cropped up over the years. Also the many footprints, and sound recordings and it all adds up to the idea that a Large Bipedal Ape could indeed exist in North America. I’m not saying these guys have one in a freezer, especialy since one of them is a known hoaxer, but hey, you never know. I say let the media get a hold of this, let reputable scientists study it, dissect it, ect. and lets see if it is in fact real. over a hundred years ago, Mountain Gorillas in Africa were thought to be a myth, then someone found them.. Maybe, just maybe it will happen here..

no comment

So, these two “researchers” find a bigfoot carcass and instead of taking it to the Sheriffs Department or a Television station or the County Morgue they stick it in the freezer and decide to display it at a news conference? I can tell you this, if I found a large hairy beast when I was out camping I would not take it home and save it in the freezer, I would go right to CNN and share it with the world.

They found it in GEORGIA!!! Its not Big Foot, its just an inbred red-neck.

Why haven’t we found any remains before now?? Maybe they (bigfeets) practice cremating their dead and those Georgia boys broke up the service. Those boys probably used their own DNA…

Charles H. Rundles M.D., say what? Your evidence is that they captured a young “bigfoot”, but since it died on the way to some country overseas (why was it being shipped overseas?), “they” decided to just toss a finding like that overboard, simply because it had died en route. This wild story you ‘heard’ is compelling evidence? How is a story compelling evidence, how is it rational at all to believe in such a story, and especially the circumstances of such a story?

I can’t even begin to explain how every single supporter of the BigFoot theory that has posted in this blog sounds either completely stupid, or like a complete lunatic (especially the guy that claims to have eaten BigFoot meat). I can’t tell if some of you are joking, or are just that dumb. Some of you calling the blogger an idiot? Why? For not believing the same thing you do? His rationality is more sound than yours, even if there was some miracle that you happened to be right (in your guess and hope, rather than reality and facts and chances).

Personally, I don’t think anyone that pays for the stupid merchandise of trek to the “finding place” shouldn’t have their money taken from them. They should, as all stupid people should. Is it *possible* that such a creature did or does exist? Of course it’s possible, anything is possible and such a debate could go into great, long detail and arguments, but that’s not a very intelligent way to go about arguing for something. You can’t _prove_ something doesn’t exist, after all, you can only prove it does, so there’s just no way to make an intelligent argument against something someone believes in. Anyway, I’d never dare waste the rest of my life arguing or debating with some of you kooks.

ah yes…. the arrogance and ignorance of the human species to think we always know everything, yet are proven time and again to be a small thinking species. I’m not saying this is real, but your arrogance and ignorance is typical. my guess is that you also believe we are the only intelligent life in the universe because there is no current hard evidence to prove otherwise (dispite thousands of years of ’sightings’ and ’strange objects’ being reported & documented by different cultures across the millenia).

Two points about what has been said:

Ryan W said, “here in the U.S. very few people live off the land anymore and its a lot easier to stay hidden in the U.S. wilderness today than 150 years ago.”

I’m not sure exactly what the poster meant by “live off the land”, but I’ll assume he meant that a smaller portion of the US population today supports itself by farming/ranching/hunting or the like. This is probably true.

However, it is also true that there is much less true wilderness in the US today than in the past. As our population continues to encroach on wilderness areas, I would think it would be significanly HARDER to stay hidden in the wilderness today, simply because there is so much less of it.

Also, Bill said, “they [scientists] are a very dogmatic bunch when it comes to any “new” ideas that fly in the face of the “accepted” current theories. They’re credibility is they’re life and they are EXTREMELY conservative when it comes to accepting another’s perspective.”

While I agree that people from all walks of life have a tendency to cling to their accepted ideas, I would disagree that this is a hallmark of scientists today. A critical part of the scientific method is to continually test “accepted” theories with new observations. Scientists probably know this better than most.

While there undoubtedly are a number of yet-undescovered animal species on the planet, I would be willing to bet that a large percentage of these are small and inconspicious (such as insects), and/or are located in very remote regions (such as the Congo or the deep ocean). For us to believe that an entire race of large primates has been able to elude discovery in the US Southwest is, while not an absolute impossibility, certainly a very unlikely event.

Like any other claim, this one should not be dismissed as a hoax without a proper investigation by independent and qualified experts. Such an investigation should set all of these concerns to rest.

In the end, of course, as others have said, “extraodinary claims require extraodinary proof”

BIGFOOT found…OBAMA possibly becoming President! IM TELLin you all….DECEMBER 21st, 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, a nice X-ray would be a good start. Do the test, DNA,
etc. Is it real or not? Comical hype is not news!

At least this isn’t a grainy photo. There is a body to test.
I’ll reserve judgement.
But at a cursory glance, I’m glad there’s at least something to work with.

Joe listed good points regarding the viability of a Bigfoot-like hominid. I took a course in college (Biological Anthroplogy), where the professor at the end of one class addressed whether bigfoot existed. He pointed out that:
(1) No skeleton or fossil remains have been found in North America of a large hominid; the closest fossil or remains of such a creature was in southern China (Gigantopithecus blacki). So if such a creature crossed the Bering Sea during the ice age, there is no record of this creature even living in northern Asia or entering North America
(2) Big creatures like this cannot survive on a few individuals and would come into contact with humans frequently, especially in the last century. Not everyone has seen a guerilla in the wild, but we have captured, photographed, and killed them to have definite evidence they exist; they are also social. So if a Bigfoot like creature, unless it has some chameleon-like properties, would also have been at least caught, shot, or killed by humans, especially young or immature individuals.

I would like to think that such a creature could exist, but the only evidence so far presented for their existence does not prove that it exists

You guys need to stop drinking your home made moonshine

Please post a video of yourself eating crow on CNN.com and Youtube.
Thanks.

Gee, he just happens to be stuffed into a cooler where you cant get a really good look and nobody thought to take pictures of it laid completely out from multiple angles in high definition. They were probably filming one of those messin with Sasquatch commercials when one of these fart lighters came along and blasted the actor in bigfoot suit.

It seems very doubtful that this is anything other than a hoax, but the truth will come out. If it’s nothing but an old rug, a gorilla mask and some hog intestines in a freezer, we’ll know soon enough.

Without a body, a physical, actual body, they have nothing. They won’t show it to anyone. Why? Because it’s a hoax. They didn’t realize it would attract so much attention, and now they’re running scared. They’ll stall for a while (like they just did in that ridiculous press conference) and eventually admit that it wasn’t real at all. Or they’ll just stall themselves into a corner and claim that it was (a) stolen, (b) that it was eaten by wild animals, (c) that it decayed, (d) that the government came and confiscated it, etc, etc.
Show the scientific community a body or keep looking. It may very well exist, and eventually we may find proof, but I don’t think these guys are the ones who found Bigfoot.

Hey, these guys look familiar. Aren’t they the same ones that killed hogzilla and run that jackalope ranch?

Okay, i just watched their announcement and I have to say I am leaning on the idea they are telling the truth……at this point I think science does need to be involved to discount and or prove what they are saying. It is kind of exiciting even if it does seem a little off kilter. Anything is possilbe.

i would like to know what the dna said, if its an ape family or what

It’s obvious the author of this blog is totally unfamiliar with the scientific evidence behind the existence of the North American Sasquatch.

If you anything about the subject you would know that the evidence is extensive and overwhelming that an undocumented large primate inhabits the forested areas of the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and some east coast locations. There are numerous new videos, incrediable footprints with primate like dermal ridges and very credible sightings.

Many credible scientists now do indeed believe in it’s existance. Please read “Sasquatch: Legend meets Science” and many other good resource books.

This story may or may not be a hoax but that in no way means that this species does not exist. Please do your homework before making a joke out of this serious subject.

More ignorant opinions by the uneducated. Strong opinions by people who know nothing of what they are talking about. Maybe it is a hoax and maybe not. Scientific methodology will determine that, as it does with every other cryptid species. But to scoff at any claim is to be at odds with the greatest primatologist in history, Jane Goodal. Dr. Goodall has stated that enough evidence exists to warrant an investigation by the Smithsonian. But you’re all too smug and stupid to know that.

Mike Said…

“However, it is also true that there is much less true wilderness in the US today than in the past. As our population continues to encroach on wilderness areas, I would think it would be significanly HARDER to stay hidden in the wilderness today, simply because there is so much less of it.”

Have you driven across the united states lately? You can drive for hours and hours through vastly unpopulated areas… and that is just along our interstate system. We are far from displacing countless millions of wild species from their habitats. In 2005 my family and I took a summer road trip that started in Oklahoma City, headed west to San Diego then as far north as Yellowstone, over to Mt. Rusmore and back down to OKC. 5500 miles total and the vast majority of it completely unpopulated.

BTW, I think the whole big foot thing is baloney.

digging deeper, the guy who “alleges” to have the dead sasquatch also claimed to have DNA evidence in 2005, and a captured live one, he didn’t show up to the press conference. It would be cool, but it is highly unlikely this guy has any credibility.

reference: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72299
Time will tell if the discovery is real. According to LiveScience.com, on Aug. 19, 2005, Biscardi appeared on the radio show “Coast to Coast with George Noory,” claiming his group had captured a Bigfoot a week earlier, a male beast that weighed over 400 pounds and stood eight feet tall.

If we leave open the possibility of a breakthrough discovery, there is one obvious issue here. Q: If there is indeed undeniable physical evidence, why not wheel it right up to the local university biology department for all to see and scientists to scrutinize? A: They want (need) to control the release of “information” to support their own personal agenda. (please shop at http://www.makingalivingoffbigfoot.com)

The answer to the question “if they really have a body why haven’t they released it for study” is obvious; these guys are afraid someone will take it from them, and they won’t make a dime out of their once in a lifetime discovery. I believe their fears are justified. If it is indeed a new species, State or County officials could come up with a dozen reasons why these guys must turn the body over. Then, attention will turn to the very “scientists” who are now making jokes about this, who will no doubt get research grants for further study. The true discoverers would soon be forgotten. Might happen anyway.

It’s description sounds a little like an Orangutan, though they don’t grow to 7 ft.. Chimpanzees, and probably other primates, are known to live in the wild in Florida and other areas in the deep south, either released or escaped from captivity. Maybe a gorilla? Maybe Bigfoot.

I don’t see anything wrong with having a little hope that maybe some myths do exist. If it’s proven to be a hoax, so be it. But until then, let there be a possibility that some times strange, weird and wonderful things can arise to stir our imaginations and maybe, just maybe, allow us to try and think a bit more open minded.

I’ve seen the picture. Looks like bigfoot to me.

Rich,

I wasn’t saying that there isn’t much wilderness left in the US today, just pointing out that there is significantly less wilderness than 150 years ago.

I too have driven across some seemingly unpopulated areas of the US, and hiked and backpacked into more remote areas. Many times, however, I was surprised to find other people where I figured there were none.

I agree that this is probably baloney, of course.

Forgive me for missing the obvious. It is clear to me now that the moment they make anything physical public it is whisked away to Area 51 by faceless government agents in black helicopters. (by the way - a photo or DNA “report” are NOT physical evidence)

(PS It’s not too soon to preorder the life sized dancing bigfoot for the holiday season - not available in stores!)

I would wait to see all the facts presented after making such (pretty childish) jokes and assertions.

If you’re going to use science as a reason not to buy into this… wouldn’t it be smart to let the scientific process run it’s course, then make a judgement? I mean, if this turns out to be some sort of unknown creature, you’re going to look pretty foolish… more foolish than writing such an immature blog on cnn.com.

Throughout time, humans have thought they’ve discovered everything… only to be shown something new at every turn. From the discovery of quantum mechanics to the giant squid, humans have shown, what Arthur C. Clark called, “Failures of the Imagination.”

You should read what journalists at the turn of the century used to write about humans being able to create flying machines… you might find it interesting.

Yes, I just sent CNN my thoughts about how the reporter covering the news conference very snidely and condescendingly cut from the Bigfoot News Conference, which I thought was to be shown in it’s entirety, to go to “MORE SERIOUS NEWS”! One more slap in the face by the big time, politically correct, media mega-machine whose skepticism is more than apparent. I guess they thought most of us couldn’t tear ourselves away from our huge Tivoed collection of NASCAR events to watch the news conference anyway. You know, given we can actually operate these here new-fangled remote devices. So, thanks a lot guys, for nothing. What could possibly turn out to be the most important scientific discovery in history, one that will have not only have far-reaching scientific and historical consequences, but major effects on spirituality and Theology as well. And you cut, with an almost audible sneer and laugh to MORE SERIOUS NEWS! I know there are serious and life-altering events happening elsewhere on our planet. You’ve covered most of them ad-nauseum. But CNN, you had a golden moment to shine today and you passed it up. What, afraid of what the folks at FOX might think of you if you even hinted at belief in such an event. Shame on you CNN? And if it DID turn out to be a hoax, so what, you would have been the only one to carry the entire event….LIVE! Today I feel ashamed, not because of your efforts to make me feel that way, but because I belong to the “Little-foot” side of the human species that harbours individuals who don’t have the courage to take a leap of faith….you know, just because it might be.

i hope it is real i hope that when the men who found it feel safe enuf to show it they do. right now they are not safe, the need for as it was put in the news confrence “Psycos” to back off so they can do what needs to be done. peace on earth for them. i pray

I’ve seen the pictures and it doesn’t look like any type primate I’ve ever seen.

People are so negative minded, cynical and ready to bash anything. Why not keep an open mind and see if it is true or not? If it is, great, if it isn’t, great.

DNA should be sufficient because if it is the real thing it’s DNA wouldn’t match any other creature anyway.

I find it funny for a 7′-7″ tall creature the guys were able to cram it into a freezer. It’s a large “monster” but you can’t help but look at the picture and wonder how they were able to squeeze the Bigfoot’s shoulder and arms in the freezer in the position its in…Must’ve been tall, but skinny and narrow

Oh my God !!! BIG FOOT IS REAL!!!!!!!!

but if they find enuf of em they can have nother confrence and back off the “Psycos”

Ok, I am not yet convinced of this scientific find, and the press conference didn’t help much either, but does anyone else think the picture of “it” shown in the freezer looks just like the gorilla in the Eddie Murphy/Dan Ackroyd movie TRADING PLACES? Just asking

If anyone hasn’t noticed, there is no scientific investigation taking place here. Just a couple of goons waving pictures and papers at a press conference. Let them share the evidence with the world and not simply their own conclusions. So as long as this farce continues so will the immature jokes - they can stop it all with their “evidence.”

PS Don’t stop believing - and don’t stop buying. The exclusive “certified authentic” bigfoot one stop shop.

They said that one DNA test came back as human.

Shouldn’t the Georgia law enforcement have a look at this
Big Foot?

In response to people that believe in aliens, consider this. No one is saying there aren’t intelligent life forms somewhere in the vast space, but “sightings” is ridiculous. You have to realize that the fastest moving “mass” is light, Nothing can travel faster than light, which is made of matter that doesn’t have any real “mass” (very light — i.e. not solid, not liquid, not gas).

Even IF something could travel at light speed, the nearest solar system beyond ours is thousands of light years away (just for the very nearest) and that’s IF you can travel at light speed somehow bypassing the laws of physics (sure, let’s assume we don’t fully understand the physics of it, there’s a worm hole or some way to manipulate time and space). So then, apparently we (Earth) are important enough for some aliens to survive thousands of years one-way in flight to see Earth (again, before any technology existed to get their attention to us, that they could somehow “detect”).

No life form can live without water, even if they can live without anything else, as is scientifically proven, so they’ve have to have a lot of water to survive a several thousand year trip. I think we’ve looking at about ten thousand year one-way trip. So, they’d have to leave before any real civilization existed on this planet and just nor arrive (if they traveled at the speed of light). So, let’s assume they didn’t need that travel time, didn’t need the resources (fuel, water, a ship), etc., then no matter what, you’re looking at a vehicle or life form that moves so fast that it can’t be mass. Perhaps a race of pure energy that has thought? Sure, so then let’s assume that, too.

Now, consider those “sightings” of UFO’s. A UFO doesn’t mean “alien life form”, it just means UFO. But, let’s assume it’s an alien life form or ship… okay, so people apparently have sighted alien crafts that are able to move at or greater than the speed of light. Yet, people see them hovering or moving across the sky? It would be an instant flash, you’d not be ABLE to see an alien of their craft, if it moved at such speed. Then, there are the ramifications of how we appear to them. We and our vehicles would be moving so slowly to them, they wouldn’t even detect movement or that we were a life form (only that we were of some specific material we’re made of (i.e., those “probing sessions” would not be even noticeable, let alone some physical “abduction” activity)).

So, while there might be life forms, or even “intelligent” life forms somewhere out there, I wholly doubt they anyone has or will visit us, or be able to in any reasonable time frame. If the aliens could travel at the speed of light and left today from the nearest solar system out there, assuming it could support life and just happened to be that close, us, our distant relatives and civilization would probably be gone by the time they arrived. I think it’s arrogant to assume any alien with the ability to travel would be interested in us or Billy Bob Ray down in Texas.

You see all of the compelling reasons to see it’s unlikely anyone actually saw anything, account in that people all over are liars, and the insane people, dumb people that believe anything, and just a “if you can’t prove it doesn’t exist, it probably does exist” attitude (sort of like the WMD’s in Iraq attitude), then you could see that there is a rational, sound, intelligent view about why only a complete kook would believe this stuff is likely or does definitely exist. Yes, any of these things COULD be possible, but to assume it is likely or definite is not rational, it’s not educated and it’s not smart. Using logic, it’s not hard to understand why most people make fun of those that do go on to advocate ridiculous theories and they all seem to support conspiracy theories as well (see the previous poster’s claim about the “Air Force” possessing some alternative “zero point” energy for 30 years that would solve the world’s energy problems that they “just won’t release” for some reason.

Not that I doubt there are vested interests in energy nor do I doubt corruption and greed, but this really goes too far with the big foot theory and to have the audacity to call those that don’t share YOUR view as ignorant, and to dismiss the actual logic/reasons why they feel the way they do? I’m afraid the burden of proof is on you, and I’d really like to see evidence, not stories, not theories and not some ludicrous circular logic.

THAT THING KINDA LOOKS LIKE ME, BUT i WASNT IN GEORGIA AT THE TIME.

Pardon the above typos. I think it’s completely silly that people are getting on CNN for not taking this seriously and covering it like it’s some life altering story that will change the world. I guess there really are big foot believing crazy’s out there. If such a creature exists, fine, but the fact the media doesn’t agree with you or share your excitement and chance making complete fools out of themselves, which they would if they took this seriously, is short sighted and foolish to assume about them. Total crackpots. I thought it was a funny story in response to some loon’s claim about finding big foot. I can’t believe anyone would take this seriously and argue about it.

I have never seen a Bigfoot but in the mountains one time at night I did have a UfO fly over me just above the tree line doing no faster than a person could run.
About five minutes later I heard the thing coming back. Needless to say I got in the truck I was driving and headed down the mountain as fast as I could go.
Most people don’t believe anything unless they see it with their own eyes,

Yeah, sure Steve. You expect people to believe your crazy story. There’s a difference between “UFO” and “Aliens”, you know. Be more specific otherwise. Anyone can claim anything, and people are liars, as is pretty clearly proven. See my above mention about UFO’s (regarding aliens), if that is indeed what you’re trying to claim.

So wheres Luke and C3PO? Are they still running from Darth Vader and crew? I get a kick out of these stories because theres always that one group of people that will go to any lengths for some attention and money. Great timing to coincide with the discovery of 100,000 gorillas (which I dont believe the numbers) hiding in the jungle.

I want everyone here to consider one thing for a moment. Whether this be true or hoax, what would you do? Even just for s**ts and giggles, what if one day everything happened just right and you found some stellar evidence of something deemed impossible. How do you go about changing the world, because thats what this would potentially do. In a world filled with such bias and extremism, would you tread with haste or take the time to consider. Thats what I see here today, a group of intelligent people too quick to judge others and ask What If? Oh, and just like back in grade school just “Because” is not a valid answer. Again consider would you just open the door and go in guns blazing, or would you take the time figure out there’s a door around back? I feel that if you consider the facts we have now, we know absolutely nothing to base any assumptions on, except a bunch a bad, fuzzy third party information. Just like this Comment.

A crisp glossy 8×10 could change my mind though.

Bigfoot, UFO’s, and other paranormal observations have been made and reported for hundreds of years. Scientist (and others) have become arrogant and egotistical to the point of convincing people that “they did not see what they plainly saw”. This of course is NOT SCIENCE and is closer to an intellectual dictatorship which keeps people in the dark.

How much you want to bet that the guys will hold a press conference at the freezer, open the freezer only to find the body missing, and then call for a federal investigation in search of the body of Bigfoot! (which takes you back to square #1)

More seriously, who cares whether or not Bigfoot exists. High profile studies have proven that the discovery of a mammal with extra-long metatarsals will not effect the lives of 99.9999% of the American population.

On the other hand, if the price of gas dropped 73 pennies tomorrow, that would make the headlines…..or even create a national holiday. Shame on national news organizations for allowing this garbage to be consider “news worthy.”

On a completely unrelated note, I took a picture of a glass of liquid. In it contains the cure for cancer, AIDS, and the common cold. I’m not going to release the location of this glass of liquid nor a complete description of its contents for fear that people might raid my kitchen.

There seems to be no check or balance on the media for reporting false information. Maybe this issue might warrant a congressional investigation.

I think maybe if they put the body on display over a million people would be pokin at it with sticks. If its real…i’d like to poke it with a stick.

Why is this even a story? These guys are playen the public, with help from the media, for there own financial interests..

ahh
this is why i left georgia
strange people there although if this is bigfoot the real bigfoot they will be even more stranger looking stuff in ga other than the people

This is simply a con set up by these rednecks in order to profit off of the people who will buy into this hoax. What do they have to gain by only giving one lousy picture to the press? Time. Every time the press releases or airs anything to do with these jokers they are essentially getting free advertising. The longer they can drag this out the more money they can make off with. If you do believe in this hoax I would encourage you to do two things:

A) Visit the hompage of these inidividuals where you will find various “Bigfoot” memorabilia for sale. Can you not see there only interest is money?

B) Go to you tube and listen to these individuals talk; they do not provide any documentation, facts, or proof in any form. They spend the majority of their time talking about their dogs, their super secret trapping technique that they can not tell you about, and acting juvenile and making derogatory comments and gestures.

It is sad when individuals like this get the attention they do not deserve.

It’s so easy a bigfoot can do it.

The blogger should get their stats straight; the Chupacabra story originates in Puerto Rico - not Mexico. Only after it became well publicized around Latin America did other countries start claiming Chupacabra sightings. At the very least, credit the right country for this.

Next week i predict with my psychic powers that a leprechan his fairy wife and mermaid lover will be shown on Jerry springer

Thats looks like everyone i know from Georgia.

Greeks had all kinds of unusual Gods and Animals, all unverified by DNA..

In the 1700’s and early 1800’s, speaking of Gorillas, Scientists all over the civilized world back then heard about Gorillas and scoffed with terms of “fairy tales’ and the ‘Brothers Grim at it again’ attitude.

Guess what? Gorillas are real, we just take the fact for granted that only a few hundred years ago their existence was scoffed at as much as Bigfoot.

I just hope mankind never finds Bigfoot’s habitat and hiding spots. We don’t need to push another species close to extinction just to satisfy our need for verification, educated stupidity and large fur coats.

This is a totally hilarious article! I loved reading it and way to go on the sightings of Elvis and Tupac. Don’t forget Biggie!

HEY !
IT S SPRING BREAK 1982 ,LITTLE ALCOHOL SANDY BEACH AND MONKEY, WE WERE YOUNG AND IN LOVE ! YES BIGFOOT IS MY LOVE CHILD AND HIS
MOTHER LEAVE AT THE PITTSBURG ZOO!
OK!
I WAS DRINK !
ALL RIGHT !
DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT?

There is no, never was nor ever will be a big foot. Just words, just speeches, just stuff to write about. Seems such a waste to take all this stuff in. Like UFOs. People just get on the band wagon. Want their 15 Min in the papers/TV and all. If we would not get into all the hoopla, maybe people with no sense would stir things up.

I think that the a large amount of people out there believe that it is possible however unlikely that there is a bigfoot type creature out there in the deep woods in the north west or in Canada.

i grew up in Oregon and it is not that hard to think that it is a possibility because there are still very large areas of woods that are not heavily touched by mankind, that dose not mean that they exist it just means that there is a possibility.

these last few weeks have made it clear to me that there is a desire for mankind to look int the unknown, skeptic or beliver there is an intrest.

i kind of feel bad for the people who bought into it hook line and sinker, because now they look even worse for being a staunch beliver in it.
