As for the point of all these comments, I think these discussions are good whether they end in hard evidence or not. Getting our ideas and opinions out there, examining clips like this from different angles, is important and far from pointless. I feel a lot is learned from these discussions or debates on how to evaluate these videos and other spin off topics such as animal movement and size estimation as well as ideas on what makes a credible witness or videographer. Whether we have gotten to the bottom of this clip or not, I appreciate all of the ideas and opinions that have been presented by everyone regardless of whether I agree or not. This is most definitely a worthwhile discussion in my opinion.

But I think it’s worth at least a site examination for somebody doing serious research.

Of course the history of sightings in the area has to be taken into account too. If there isn’t one, there may not be an animal to look for by now, even if that was a real one.

To some of us it looks like a guy in a hood, to some it looks like a great big hairy apeman. Most of us are wavering between the two. The fact is, whatever we think about this video it just isn’t good enough to prove anything.

To me it is not an obvious hoax or case of mistaken identity, but even if it is a real BF it is of no use, because its too indistinct (sagital crest, relaxed fingers..!? Wow, I seriously need to go see my optician) to allow us to confidently identify it (one way or the other).

Decent video evidence will be of the kind where we all go ‘wow- yes’. Not where we are arguing about a small black blob. If its good video evidence there won’t be this kind of debate.

As for the proportions on it, hmmmm, that is what’s making me lean towards human, its arms don’t seem to be big. I’ll however agree that without reference to the legs they could appear small.

Though I guess in the end it doesn’t really matter. If it a Sasquatch then there’s not enough of detail or footage in this film for the scientific community to call it evidence.

arbigfoothunter: tag team! I love tag team.

I still can’t get over how this guy insists on giving us a virtual frame by frame to shoot this thing up. Whatever it adds, or doesn’t, to this video, I’m more and more convinced he doesn’t know what this is. I’m thinking a human announces himself by his gait crossing that road. But apparently not.

And there is a familiarity I feel every time I see a human walking. I don’t feel that with this one.

Here are a few times on the clip to check out for yourselves. To see examples of the conical skull cap check the footage around the 28, 40 and 48 second marks. To view what I have referred to as relaxed, extended fingers view around the 48, 51 and 53 second times.

It appears that the terrain the hominid is walking through contains uneven ground covered with groups of weeds, thickets of small shrubs and many small saplings before giving way to larger trees well off the beaten track. The hominid does have a nonchalant gait (imho) as it ambles along towards the denser woods pausing to look up into the trees at one point.

Again if this is a hoax ‘hats off’ to the hoaxers for accounting for many little details. Personally I think this is footage of an unknown Hairy Hominid!

Peace

P.S. My background is in zoology and I do not take hoaxes lightly and hold them in high disdain!

Great Scott! Okay, I’ll spell it out. Much ado about nothing! Tempest in a teapot! Yadda Yadda Yadda!

Scientifically speaking, there’s precious little to be deduced from this video - since the photographers didn’t follow up with any alternate viewpoints, photographs, track, flora or snow measurements, reshoots with a person of known size, tracking (in either direction), terrain or meteorological data or additional commentary, we are left with an anecdotal blurvid.

But so what - we can still generate hundreds of comments about it, mostly personal “gut” feelings and knee-jerk or reactionary opinions - but I guess, in lieu of better imaging or documentation, we should be thankful for THAT!

But what have we learned?
