Mind you, the same website - though not necessarily the same author - refers to Loren as female, here:

“Most scientists, such as Loren Coleman, suggest Bigfoot could be a version of Pongids (great apes) such as the Dryopithecinae, a species that was successful in both temperate and subtropical areas. In her book Mysterious America Coleman suggested the could have arrived from Asia during the Pleistocene era.”

An interesting oversight on behalf of a group which has “carefully examined statistical methods, DNA testing, biological collection, computer modeling, imprint identification, scaling, vocal analysis, eye witness accounts, and expert opinions in search of evidence”.

But then it could be a typo.

I’m sure long term readers have already discussed both articles I’ve just linked; forgive me while I find my feet. Big ones.

Chris.

OK - here’s the dig. Let’s wrap our recent Menehune article in Hawaii up with the hobbits of Indonesia. Now venture north for our Orang Pendek and/or Mawas. Scoot a little further north and you’re on mainland Asia mixing it with the Alma, of which Zana was one.

Sounds crazy? Well except for the Hawaiian link, you can read about it here.

Spot on about verifiability.

The (independently verifiable) facts about this case are that there are allegations and speculations.

Nothing more, nothing less.

With all due respect to the individuals involved, we cannot have a meaningful photographic analysis because no photographs are available to ay inependent laboriatory, university or media source to analyze. We do not, as an indepnedently verified fact, know that any photographs exist.

The young woman measuring her hand against the Johor cast is sketchily identfied in the caption as “a girl” . She is Adeek, a researcher with the Kuala Lumpur “Seekers” group, who joined the SPI and the Mandt Brothers on expedition. Since you identify others by name, thought you might like hers.

Personally I would say its more puzzlement, postulation and perplexity with some possible petite potential at present Loren

I’m very optimistic.

It’s starting to look now like these and other Relict Big Guys out there will always avoid us and our darting, collaring, DNA-gathering, caging, exhibiting, poking, prodding, can’t leave well enough alone ways.

Ooops….was I supposed to say that? Sorry. Slip of the tongue. As you were, as you were…

I certainly appreciate the intellectual nature of our commentors, especially when you go all Gurdjieff on us and talk about “pouring from the empty into the void.”

We shall see what we shall see. Patience and passion.

A photograher who cannot be reached who took photographs that cannot be seen.This photographer, uprooted himself and presumably, his livelihood due to harassment(s) that have not occurred but that he anticipates.One book becomes two, two become three, three become..based on what essentially, at this point, is a well documented rumour. The elusive smoking gun. Sound like another topic? i predict very easily, that this situation will spawn little more than ardent truth seekers and died in the wool skeptics in the center ring pouring from the empty into the void.

Is anyone else concerned that if this fellow took the alleged photo’s quite a while back and is now not around Johor, then any kind of verification as to where, when, and what is in the picures will be very very difficult indeed!!
