why post nonsense like this?

However, I have more to add. And, since I was only lurking back in ’95 I guess I’ll say, now, what I thought, then: if you examine the video closely, its clear the alleged “encounter” was filmed on TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

The first time, the camera car is positioned several yards ahead and to the left of the subject vehicle and the “pedestrian” enters the roadway quite a distance behind the Mercedes and remains in view the whole time.

In the second half of the video, the camera car almost immediately takes-up a position directly in front of the subject vehicle and the figure steps into the roadway right after both vehicles pass. Said individual then almost immediately disappears behind the subject vehicle for several seconds, reappearing only near the end of the clip.

I briefly wondered if the discrepancies might have been caused by either: multiple cameras on a single film-rig; or, that two separate camera-cars might have been in use during the encounter. Closer observation proves neither is the case.

In the first clip you’ll notice the right front tire of the subject vehicle stays well within the plowed portion of the road and the vehicle progresses in a fairly straight line. Whereas, in the second run-through the Mercedes drifts to the right, running into the unplowed snow eventually leading the driver to over-correct and swerve the vehicle to the left. Moreover, at approximately one-and-a-half times the width of the Mercedes being filmed, the road does not appear sufficiently wide to accommodate two film-cars at the same time.

One “chance encounter” might be intriguing, but two occurrences strains credibility to the breaking point! Clearly, the person in the frame had reason to be there – or, was attempting to get on-camera for unknown reasons. What it definitely IS NOT is Mercedes Benz filming an accidental close encounter with Bigfoot – or, should I say “Grosserfuss.”
