Tontar:

The camera angle rig is designed and will be built in the coming months (Maybe July, July at the latest) and then tested with an actual cast duplicate of one of Roger's two casts of that day,

The trip is now looking like the last two weeks of july.

The lens issue will be settled more or less conclusively by September, using optical science and mathematics.

If fact, a whole lot of things should be settled then. I've got a busy summer ahead of me.

Funny thing...the usual way is for a fraud artist to get money directly from the marks - but they wouldn't support his $75,000 scam. Therefore - the TV shows must be promising $$$ or that is what he is hoping for. Does that make the TV shows the frauds and the watchers the marks?

If the TV shows' producers know its all a scam and sell it as true or possibly true, then yes, they are indeed part of the scheme.

Snake oil salesmen/women. Seems they found a home at the History Channel.

As has been pointed out previously - until Munns starts using photogrammetry tools, he's NOT using optical science OR mathematics.

As William Parcher stated up thread,
"Everything else that Munns has illustrated with the creek is speculation and creative artistry. "

Come on people, the simple fact remains that if there was enough to breed there would be enough to notice. Otherwise we would be getting weird imbred bigfeet as time went on.

Man, where are the people who believe in dragons? At least dragons are neat. Bigfoot just seems straight up boring.

I mean really, what do you want to see, some dragon majestically flying through the air, maybe breathing a little fire? Or some ape that's claim to fame is walking around like it is bored all the time?
I think we need more love for jackalopes. You can find actual specimens in every bar and tourist trap in Wyoming, and photographs of much better quality than I've ever seen for bigfoot.

Professor Jurgen Konczak did an experiment with the Patterson film and he has found that it's not possible for a normal human to replicate the walk seen in the film.

Philip Morris couldn't properly recreate the "suit", even with today's vastly superior materials.

The materials required to replicate some of Patty's features with a suit didn't even exist in the 60's.

Bill Munns demonstrated how Patty's anatomical features are impossible for a human to have and even more so with a suit on.


Could the PGF have been hoaxed? I think so, but not with a human wearing a suit. The evidence is there, we just need to open our eyes to it.

That's kinda cute, but it's a person in a suit and any other answer does not compute . . . unless of course you're in it for the loot.

My pome, which is mine.

Of course it would, that's what skepticism is all about; show me the evidence and I'm helpless to accept it.

But, you must know that after all these years since the PGF and all that hogwash we're at the "show me the monkey" stage.

Got monkey?

One facet of pseudoscience is that however solidly something is debunked, IT NEVER GOES AWAY. Not only is this one debunked, but it's EASILY debunked. Even Jeff Meldrum has conceded this ON TV.

Since you've analyzed all the evidence you must know that Munns in incredibly biased and has openly stated that his goal is to prove Patty to be real. So why do you so blindly accept his findings?

Have you seen the program where Bob H. walks EXACTLY like Patty?

He was mistaken. The walk has been replicated on video by a man in a heavy ape suit, while Meldrum looks on gape-mouthed and incredulous. At the end of the video segment, Meldrum pretends it never happened.

Then Morris is either an idiot or he wasn't trying to "recreate" the Patty suit. The full-body ape-man suits in Beneath the Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey, both produced in the same period as the PGF, show that your assumptions are mistaken.

No he hasn't.

With your bigfoot knowledge you must know that Patterson heavily modified the suit.

This isn't the BFF and you're not dealing with a bunch of wide-eyed rubes, like the ones you're used to.

So what? Either Morris is lying about supplying the original suit, or Patterson modified whatever suit(s) he did supply.

Surely you're not suggesting, OS, that such suits cannot be made... today or at any time in the past. We have muscled ape-suits as far back as the 1930s for the MGM Tarzan films, and certainly in the 60s the Planet of the Apes movies and 2001 full-body ape-suits show that convincing ape-man costumes were being produced.

I feel like it's 2009 all over again. We've been over this stuff ad nauseam in the hundreds of pages of PGF threads.

That's one of the many things BobH has claimed. BobH also claimed Roger Patterson filmed him while on a horse while in the actual film Roger Patterson is seen running to get closer to the creature.

I haven't seen any costumes close to Patty. Or any costume that could show the outlines of muscles and bones.

So? Bob H could be lying or mistaken. And...?

Then you're not doing the necessary research. Try the following films:

Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1968)
King Kong (1976)
Greystoke (1983)
Gorillas in the Mist (1987)
George of the Jungle (1994?)
Mighty Joe Young (1997)

All of the above films have various levels of convincing muscled ape suits. You're out of your depth here, OS.

ETA:

I forgot:

Trading Places (1983)
Congo (1995)
Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1970?)

I made a mistake there. We can tell he's running by the camera's motion. He's not actually seen running in the film.

How can you tell that he's running by the camera motion?
How do you know he wasn't filming when he told Bob to start walking, then jumped off the horse?

Pal? It is acceptable to question evidence...if you watched the video "pal" the man did issue a challenge. Possibly you are up to the challenge with video instead of attempting to beat people down with your posts.

You claim to be a skeptic. Be a knowledgeable hands on skeptic and prove the man wrong.

By observing the film. But I guess you can watch it for yourself and decide if he was running or sitting on a horse.

According to the original story, the horses became afraid (especially Roger's) so he slid off the horse and ran across the creek to get closer to Patty (as seen in the film). It doesn't match BobH's story.

No one is beating you down.. certainly not me. Go back on the threads and you will see this has all been done before. Please do some research on the JREF before you start posting things and pictures that have already been covered.

What brings you to the Forum, my friend ?

Why do you accept Roger's story over Bob's story?
Roger's story is that he fell off the horse and bent a stirrup in the process. He even showed the bent stirrup to people, so why do you think he slid off the horse?
