By 1967, Patterson had already seen that no meaningful disadvantages come to those who tell Bigfoot lies. Instead he could see the reverse. They become cultural celebrities. Newspapers and other media wouldn't dare call them liars and instead say that they are "a man who says he saw Bigfoot" or even a "Bigfoot witness." As long as he did not confess, he had nothing to lose.

Topic of discussion: My boob strap theory.
My apologies if this has been suggested already, I am thinking that the suit, regardless of what it was made from would be quite hot for the wearer. After a few practice walks and general preparation for the shoot, I surmise Bob got thirsty and because of his fake arm extentions couldn't hold the bottle. He needed someone else to give him a drink(which rarely works out well) and in the process spilled some on his right breast creating the "strap". |

I'm afraid those pics and the infamous water fight reel are locked away in the Patterson vault.

I'm sure it was nice and warm inside the suit. So what? Whether Bob H. or not, all the guy in the suit had to do was "walk from here to over there." It's not like he was filming all day in Tunisia whilst dressed as a wookie. Guy gets dressed in bigfoot suit. Gets hot. Starts to sweat. Gets thirsty. No worries - filming is completed in a jiffy. Guy takes off sweaty suit, wipes his brow, and pounds an ice cold Old Milwaukee that Roger left for him* in the creek. *Roger had Bob Gimlin buy the beer - told him he would pay him back but never did. |

Just checking in. Haven't perused this thread in awhile.
It hasn't been in the news but has anyone captured or killed a bigfoot and brought it out of the bush for scientific investigation yet? |

But the other "they" have taken it away, hidden all the evidence and silenced the witnesses.

Well yes, you could come up with any number of scenarios. You could suggest that Patty is an undocumented ape who was drinking from a creek and spilled water on her bullet shaped monkey breast causing a streak that we refer to as the strap. Since we weren't there all we can do is speculate as to what is the most plausible explanation.
I think my suggestion is very plausible but I also think you might be on to something with the beer. If they were having a few beers on hoax day, maybe BobH (or whoever was in the suit) had a shot before his big scene and some spilled on the suit. |

Could you provide us with a brief synopsis of this "strap", Nakani? This is a claim new to me.
Bear in mind, however, that pariedolia resulting from anomaly hunting in that film suggests to me that Roger constructed the suit entirely out of red herrings. |

Shrike,
During the turn and look back part of the film, a vertical stripe is visible on the right breast. There was a lengthy discussion on the BFF but I'm not sure how to link to it. Drew, do you know what I'm talking about? Could you post a picture and/or possibly a link to that thread? I guess I should have first found out if this "strap" appears in more than one frame. If not, in all probability it's just a film anomaly and the result of pariedolia like you say. |

Shrike,
I went back to the BFF, to search for "the strap" and found that I wasn't remembering it very well. In my mind it was more pronounced. The picture OS posted shows what they were talking about, the little dark line coming from underneath and up the side. It looks to me like an artifact of the film and not worth discussing. |

I'm confident that if there's a real smoking gun on the suit itself, it would have come to light in 1967. Even Ivan Marx's suit shows no zipper, however.

The worst thing that someone can do if they come across the dead body of a Sasquatch is contact the authorities. Only an individual or a group like the NAWAC, which has its own protocol can avoid a potential cover-up.

What happened to all the dead bodies, body parts, bones, skulls, fossils that folks came across in the roughly 14,760 years before there were "authorities?"
Do the "authorities" of both nations, Canada and the U.S. (Mexico seems footie-free) collaborate in this cover-up? If so, will you be offering any evidence for this claim? |

It's possible that there were dead bodies recovered during that time, but we don't have any skeletons to confirm it. There's also no way to know if they were around for the last 15,000 years. My own research suggests that the Sasquatch phenomenon is more of a recent occurrence.
I don't know if Canada is in on it. I've heard of investigated UFO sightings being classified as secret here, but that's about it as far as cover-ups go. |

There are no Canadian UFO cover-ups. That's crazy talk. Imagine that.
