Only Gyro copters have to keep forward motion and this is obviously not one but is definitely a helicopter.
So, this guy could have easily hovered to get a better shot and at least make a slow cone circle like the Spooky gun ships do to keep a target in the line of fire.
But then you would be able to see it was not a Bigfoot.
I believe that it is possible they could exist but this is not one.
Just people having fun. ;o)
What a perfect place to have a hoax, right at the end of a shut down airport runway.
You can fly how you want and drive a guy in a brown jacket out there without having to go to the middle of nowhere.

Bring back the cartoon pterodactyls!!! At least they had craftsmanship.

Fun to look at and try to analyze. But it must be a very agile BF as it seems to be on both sides of the treeline. On one pass it is on the right side of the treeline, then on another pass it is on the opposite side of the treeline, closer to the road tracks.

Maybe it is pacing off the airport for a sneak attack at first light?

I don’t think any accurate assessment of the size can be made as we do not know how wide that road is. Someone would have to go out there and measure it before we start making claims of 9 feet tall, I think. Those ghillie suits create the appearance of large size, so it could appear to be larger than it really is. That is really what this looks like to me. I won’t go and say that this video was intentionally hoaxed, maybe they thought at the time this was something strange. But I think there’s a possibility the cameraman misidentified the subject here.

See this update with two frames of video captures that show this “Bigfoot” seems to be carrying a cane. I know, I know, but take a look.

After going to a site that sells “Ghillie suits” (for hunters) I think this might be a hunter in full gear, but he must be a huge good ole boy. I still think the road width should be compared to this guy/thing. If the road is 6 feet wide it looks like this dude could be 9 feet tall. If foreshortening of the down angle of the camera is taken into account that is. A height of 7 feet may be reasonable for a large country boy, if you ad his clodhopper boots and the large hoods that ghillie suits have. Anyway, I wonder, like someone else mentioned; why doesn’t he wave or show his gun?

Doesn’t he realise he could be mistaken for a critter that someone might aireal hunt? If he was friends with the flyers though, this would not apply. However, if they were trying to hoax something, why doesn’t he give a better performance-like run to a tree for cover or swing at the copter (Ala King Kong) or something? It’s a strange one for sure.

I don’t “clearly see” blue jeans, a rifle or any such thing…I went to the mid america bigfoot site and when you blow up the stills, all I see is a uniform dark brown color.
I also get the impression that this thing is VERY large. And the neck is very short. How wide is the road it’s next to? That seems to be a logical question here, is it not?

clearly in the 2nd video where they make their last pass…you can clearly see a person walking. the blue jeans can be seen clearly

That appeared to be illegal operation of a helicopter, under FAA regulations. Helicopters are not allowed to linger over airports, because they may collide with airplanes that are not in contact with other traffic at uncontrolled airports. If it was controlled, then the pilot would have requested permission to return to the airport, during the video, which he failed to do. The only way this could have occurred, is if the lingering in the near vicinity of active runways, was prearranged which takes some time. It also takes some time to warm up a helicopter engine and go through the takeoff checklist. By the time they may have accomplished this, the Bigfoot should have been long gone. Therefore, there was no surprise about an alleged Bigfoot loitering on the opposite side of the airport, from the hangers. The path of the supposed Bigfoot, tended to be parallel to a manmade object, being the runway. I cannot imagine a bigfoot’s route between point A and point B, to somehow, someway, to require a path that turns out to be exactly parallel to a runway at an active airport. The supposed Bigfoot was also within easy walking distance of the vehicle that may have drove him to the airport. All Helicopters can slow to very slow forward speeds, because they do that everytime they land. Since this helicopter failed to slow down to a slow speed in order to obtain that million dollar shot and thus pay off the loan on that helicopter, the helicopter was likely in on the scam with the person in the costume, because they did not want a video that was good enough to be examined closely. Lastly, any self respecting Bigfoot would have hid behind one of the nearby trees, instead of left himself out in the open and able to be harmed, or just simply stepped into another dimension. Verdict: hoax

What’s up Craig, I live in middle Tennessee and I can tell you that the footage could be the real deal. The hills and hollows are vast and caves that are unexplored are aplenty. I have talked to a lot of people who believe and have heard this and that, but I’m still exploring this beautiful state. It’s a big area filled with mountains and hills, although the video shows us a flat area. I have a feeling this is only the beginning.
