Bigfoot "Throwing a Tree" in Youtube video, Alberta Canada. Uploaded Jan 19th 2018

Filmed by an oil crew working in the Alberta woods, this fascinating video, uploaded to youtube by ThinkerThunker also contains a fairly good analysis of the footage.

The footage itself clearly shows a large dark-colored creature using ONE ARM to launch a fairly hefty tree about 40 feet through the air from a stationary starting position!
The tree looks to be about 4 times the length of the visible part of the creatures torso, so it is likely to be around 12 feet long and weighing an estimated 50-100lbs!

So many "bigfoot" videos just show a blurry blobsquatch, broken branches, indistinct footprints etc but this one shows "something" out in the woods tossing an obviously substantial tree, a large distance with one arm.

Very interesting IMHO and difficult to explain what else it could be?

Sorry - The owner seems to have removed "playback on other sites" access.
I will add a direct link to the OP.

Thanks for letting me know!

Ignore me, can't watch the video just want to read. Interesting.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Did you see all the other "bigfoot" videos on his channel ?

Click bait ... mate. 😁

a reply to: Timely

Hi D,
Yeah, I think he receives videos from loads of other sources and tries to analyse them.
Most are blurry blobsquatch.... blah blah blah
But I think that this one shows something MUCH more interesting and difficult to dismiss.

How would you explain what's in the video?

I agree that this vid is different and not easily explained away.

Have another look at the still blurry yet more defined vid. You will notice a brief moment when the "arm" seems to lay flat on the ground.

Not saying it was a catapult, just that it looked odd.

The other issue is its brevity. If I were filming such a find, you would be bored with the commentary and the filming of said sasquatch continuing long after the enigma had left the general area.

Or, it is bigfoot.

Interesting that he showed the guys throwing at Highland Games but didn't show log throwing...

My ex was a Highland Dancer (she was better than the video)



so I went to a few of these things. They can chuck a pretty big log pretty far.

I can't tell how big the log is, I can't see where it contacts the ground, or if it does. May have set something up where a guy puts the thing in a launcher type deal.

ETA: Highland dancing makes my feet hurt. They do it all on the balls of their feet.

I think it's actually considered one of the most difficult forms of dance, but it's been awhile.

It looks like a blob throwing a stick. Too grainy to make anything out.
Now that's out of the way.

I always click on these videos hoping for something clear and confirming. But again, it's the same old videos that pop up again and again. I don't like the word click-bait. But for me that's all this is.

Why do these videos always stop at the most important part? Where is the rest of it?

I would love to believe this is genuine and I hold out hope that it is. I just can't see it right now.

I love it that people are still searching though.

Hi D,

I'm sorry, but if I ask myself the question:
"Does this footage more resemble a large dark biological creature throwing a tree with one arm or a mechanical catapult/machine throwing a tree?"
I'd have to go with biological creature. IMHO

Just the way it rises slightly as it starts to pull its arm forward, then dips at the end of the swing.
That's exactly what I'd expect a big strong athlete to do, but not a catapult.
(A catapult would either be anchored completely stable (and stationary), or it would dip slightly at the start of the swing as the upwards force was applied to the "arm" to raise the tree. I can't think why a catapult would rise up the way at the start of a swing?

Why would they set up a catapult to do that? Is there a use for that in the woods? or in construction/oil?
Or are you thinking just to set up a bigfoot hoax video?

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Hoax video for paid clicks.
Hence the vid being disabled here.

Mate the cgi available now is epic. You would need raw 'exif' data to go on. ( exif ? Not sure if that is the data file )

Why so short a vid ?

Ed: It could well be a manipulated image from a king kong movie.

a reply to: Timely

I hear ya on the click-bait thing, but that doesn't on its own make this a hoax IMHO.

CGI when done well can indeed be epic! But this doesn't "feel" like that to me, and I see no evidence of it (unusual white or black edges to the object, different pixel sizes when zoomed in etc)

It's not possible for me to say why the video is short but I'd guess that the crew had heard/seen something and the guy with the phone switches his phone on to take video (whilst it's pointed down at the ground) then quickly raises it just as the tree is launched? The "Creature" quickly slinks back down into the cover and disappears? Guy quickly stops filming to take at look and see if he "got" anything? Something along those lines seems reasonable?

I am limited to a galaxy S8 for now. 😣

Would be good to view on a big monitor with image enhancement software.

Could it be real? Yes.

Am I convinced with my limited tech.? Not at this stage.

Gut says fake click bait.

Gut also says Gordi is a good bloke , coming from a good place !

Lol !

Judging by the silver Birch in the background that hardly looks to be a tree being thrown, more like a sapling.

He ripped the tree out of the ground with one arm,then flicked it 120 ft,try tearing a tree out of the ground,you can't

Hi Domo,

The Highland games log throwing is called "Caber Tossing" and it is included in the video (at 9:16).
The narrator discusses the movement / momentum of the Caber tosser, comparing/contrasting it to the stationary "tree" thrower in the video clip under discussion.
