no actually it wasn’t. As a matter of fact I saw an interview with the leading hollywood costume maker at that time who studied the film and he said, there is no way that is a costume because they didnt have the fake hair that would move and reflect like that at that time. Also he said that the folds of skin and movement were too perfect.

I never bought into any of it until I started reading the reports at BFRO.net and there are first hand eyewitness reports (and newpaper articles)some going back to the 1800’s. I have know Idea what it or they are but there are just too many individuals that have seen these things at different times that report the same consistant things to have it be a coincidence. Many happened before the internet and before the patterson film was even shot. So it would be hard for a bunch of individuals to make up a story of a creature, describing how they look and behave without knowing the other persons descriptions of account.

So I don’t know what it is, I just know I sit back and now go...”hmmmmm” rather than “PPPffff” and dismiss it.

That was the pitch for a while. But the newest digital enhancement has given it a lot more credibility. Each of the 900+ frames was digitaly imaged. Then blown up. There is the appearance of eyebrown ridges and facial musculature that could not be faked, as well as the bipedal motions cannot be reproduced by human locomotion. Also, the impressions in the are could only have been made by something in excess of 400-650 lbs.

That being said, it is only the latest info regarding the footage. Until true physical evidence is found, it only adds to the mystery. I would not hinge a conclusion on this, but technology has come a long way in 40 years and it will only get better.

With more true scientists open to the posibility of a large hominid, and the technology they are using, it will be a matter of time for an outcome.

There is a good Monster Quest episode that goes over a lot of what I just talked about. Also, the BFRO and the TBRC have pretty good websites that follow the expeditions. Also cryptomundo.com is a good place to check. K4
