@keefer again

I still haven’t found the second disk, but I have found a 2007 Monsterquest show on Bigfoot, featuring Bob Gimlin interviewed in 2004, Owen Caddy and Drs Sarmiento and Swindler. This one has a reconstruction with actors portraying P & G riding their horses and making the film. There’s plenty of shows to get confused.

@keefer – I just rewatched a recording of “Bigfoot – Legend meets Science” from a couple of years ago which featured Drs Meldrum, Samiento and Swindler. It included John Green’s re-enactment of the PG film made in 1968, and a LiDAR mapping experiment done at the site of the Memorial Day footage.

But I recall seeing another documentary which used LiDAR mapping at Bluff Creek – I can’t lay hands on the disk just now – and there seemed no doubt that the makers were in the right place. They also had a biomechanics expert commenting on the material.

Is there a chance you have also seen the same shows and are maybe getting them mixed up?

Hard to believe Patterson was “present” for a documentary a couple years ago, since he passed away in ’72.

Umm… what? It was ‘re-discovered’ in a documentary a couple years ago, with Patterson present and a re-enactment study taking place. How out of the loop is Cryptomundo, anyway?

The Bluff Creek write up above was GREAT!!!! Thanks for posting it.

Oh, yes, one addition inquiry: What is the distance in miles or feet (no pun intended) between the location of the 1958 Jerry Crew track finds and the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin footage filmsite?

Just curious.

One simple question: Does this final discovery answer the age old question – Is the filmsite in Humboldt County or Del Norte County, California?

That’s a very good point, kittalia. If the location is down pat, there are a number of evaluations that can be done with it.

Daniel Perez has long known the exact spot. If you have not checked with him, you do not know it’s the right place.

Is it possible to compare height better now that we can put someone in the actual site? I’ve heard estimates from six and a half to nine feet.
