I agree DWA…

I just feel that in a case like this…something more solid or real needs to be had to make it even more authentic.

Now, now, I know it’s just a picture. That’s why I said that this photo didn’t show much on its own merit, but I am aware there are other factors behind what we see. I’m sure that whoever was involved with finding these has some good reason for thinking this is a track. Or maybe they don’t. I’m sure if I looked real hard for something, anything in the ground that resembled a footprint from a hominid, I could find one. Then I could outline it with string and make it seem legit, too. To me this is a rather unimpressive pic, and without that string as a visual aid, I wonder if anyone would see anything resembling a footprint at all.

I agree with DWA and have to give this a big stamp of – INCONCLUSIVE.

The size of these kinds of footprints don’t bother me so much. The creatures were described as being 1.7 meters tall and a smaller one of around 1.3 meters. If you are up to scratch on your metric system, that is not very tall. I am around 1.89 meters and that translates to a little over 6 feet 3 inches. My shoes are 29 centimeters. So really, the feet are a pretty good size for the creatures involved if we are to use a typical human as a reference point.

Also, who is to say that all hairy hominids have to have proportionately huge feet anyway? So personally, the size of these don’t bother me, it is the fact that I can’t see a footprint to begin with that does.

1.7 meters translates to about 5 feet, 6 inches. Not as “giant” as I thought.

Hopefully this will turn out to be for real. From the story itself, I guess it is. It’s my naive, “i want to believe” schtick.

“Footprint Follies.” LOL. Like that one, DWA.

red_pill_junkie- I was thinking those sizes didn’t sound very big, too. I forgot to put it in my other post.

I can’t see anything in the picture either, but as DWA says it’s only a picture. I can also agree with DWA about the “expediton” of hundreds. I don’t see how large groups of people expect to find anything. I guess it’s good that people wanna look, but a few people that know what they’re doing would be much better.

I think it’s great the government is taking this seriously. At least so far. Hopefully it’ll continue. Thanks for staying on this Loren.

I don’t see a footprint. I see a piece of string in the shape of a footprint.

A 30 cm footprint wouldn’t impress me much. I’m 6’4″ and that’s the length of my own foot.

A separation of 1 meter between the tracks? now that’s something much more interesting. Even for a tall man, that kind of step would be very tiring, specially in rough terrain.

I tip my hat for the tracker who discerned that footprint though. He’s better than Aragorn!

Foot print? Ummm. Ok. If that’s what these people see in this photo. Who am I to say otherwize. I am DAR that’s who. Because like stated above, I don’t see anything about this photo that shows any print. Let alone a foot print. All I see is some string formed into the pattern of a foot. I am no tracker, but I would think some kind of indentation would be present. Maybe it’s there, and I just can’t see it. Hopefully something good comes from this investigation.
