Well..it would depend on the subject I suppose.

It would probably take a concerted effort by several of us to be able to get through on the phones. Not to mention getting past the screener...lmao

Wow....ten spawns of this thread.....and this is only the 2nd time this particular film has been brought up.

I am actually rather surprised about that. Even if most people believe it's been proven to be a hoax...it's still a very interesting piece of film. :-)

Thanks for bringing that one to the forefront. :-)


Did you read the analysis of the film? It's quite intriguing. Makes you go... Hmmm!

I did read the analysis. There was a program on either Discovery or History Channel a while ago ( don't remember what show it was ) that went into the film in depth. I am pretty sure it was that particular analysis that was used on the show.

There was also something ( when the film was being analyzed ) about one of the thigh muscles looking like there was an injury of some sort ( maybe a detached or torn quad muscle ) that the person who was doing the analysis said would make it nearly impossible for a human to walk. It was also said that a torn or detached muscle like that wouldn't show up if it was someone in a suit.

Does it not strike you that continuing to believe this bigfoot video even past the point in time where the ones that created it have confessed it to be a hoax is delusional and an example of the 'true believer syndrome' ? I think one of them said (about that 'thigh bulge) that it was simply a bulky spot within the suit.

I mean, honestly...once the source of evidence has discredited itself you can't continue to maintain the validity of the source itself.

Maybe there is a species of 'Bigfoot' out there. Who knows. But basing a belief on it because of this videotape is absurd don't you think?

Wasn't this all shown to be fake?
The short answer: No.

The longer answer:
The Patterson footage has never been debunked as a hoax. No one has ever demonstrated how it was done. Neither the original "costume," nor a matching costume, has ever been presented by honest skeptics, nor by various imposters who claim to have worn the costume.

Large amounts of money have been spent trying to make a matching costume. The best Hollywood costume design talents have been brought to the task, but have never succeeded. The British Broadcasting Corporation spent the most money so far. They failed miserably.

Every attempt and failure to make a similar costume strengthens the case for authenticity of the Patterson footage. Comparing a man in a costume side by side with the Patterson creature in motion helps highlight the striking anatomical peculiarities.

If you hear debunking claims in the future, be ready to ask the obvious questions:

Where is the costume?

If the original costume is gone, why can't they make an identical costume and do it again? Why is that so hard?

Why does the news media always trumpet every half-baked "man in the costume" story that comes along without asking for the obvious proof, which should be so simple to provide?

It's my understanding that they confessed to the whole gag. But just because the BBC or whoever can't make an ape suit to match the Patterson one doesn't prove it's not a hoax. I could be wrong but I've repeatedly heard of their confession.

Perhaps it is covered on Snopes.com somewhere. We'd have to look.

Message 663861 - Posted: 21 Oct 2007, 21:35:36 UTC - in response to Message 594176.  

One thing I'm wondering about - what's the verdict on the "airbrushed" Moon base theories?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rt7mnz4J5E



I was also wondering about Steven Greer's "Coast to Coast AM" claims - visible about half-way down this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Steven_M._Greer


I've never really taken the Disclosure Project seriously, because I'm rather taken aback by Greer's constant sales pitches/requests for donations - - - I'm thinking specifically from a legal standpoint, he's made some outlandish claims - and mentioned SETI by name. If he's lying, there should be some legal backlash, should there not?

that would have worked if you hadn't stopped me

Except that the term, 'SETI', doesn't refer to any one particular project as it is simply a name to describe the effort in general.

I think I read somewhere that China is planning on landing on the dark side of the moon sometime in the near future, and I think one other country as well that I cannot recall.

That's a really good point! I've heard the same - I'm really curious to see how that pans out. I have a feeling there will be some noticeable Western resistance to such an effort. We'll doubtlessly see a new space race. The two coming decades are going to be remarkably fascinating!
