Hmmm. I watched a TV show late last year on the Patterson film. In it, the had a man that claimed to be the guy in the big foot suit. He even demonstrated the walk. His gate matched pretty close to what the patterson film shows.
I think there is enough wilderness in America to support animals we dont know about, but I think the Patterson footage was faked. As stated above, it WAS released during the Planet of the Apes craze tha swept the nation at the time.
Below is a comparison shot of Jim
McClarin walking through the creature’s tracks that were still visible on the sandbar at the time Jim and John Green did their film recreation. Jim
McClarin was five inches taller than Bob Heironimus, but that isn't important in this case for I am only talking about the distance each subject and their
surroundings were from the camera. There could not have been more than a two inch difference in the skeletal hip width between these two men, yet
the creature in the Patterson film had massive upper thighs that are about as big as McClarin’s waist.

It seems only fitting that Bob Heironimus is now being exposed as the fraud that he is. Did he really think that he could create a story that would be tight
enough to withstand scrutiny by those who knew the subject matter better than he obviously did? There has since surfaced some evidence that
explains how Bob Heironimus came up with the idea to say he was the guy in a monkey suit in the famous Patterson/Gimlin film of 1967. I recently had
spoken to a man named William DeHollander who had some information that seemed to explain the true motive behind Heironimus's claim. It seems
that DeHollander's wife worked at Central College University and had become friends with a woman named Denise Coffey. When William had first
heard that an unnamed Yakima man was saying that he was involved in the Patterson/Gimlin film taken at Bluff Creek in 1967, DeHollander asked
Denise if she had heard the story coming out of Yakima? (William had known that Denise was from Yakima and maybe had already heard about this
mystery man.) Denise looked at William DeHollander and rolled her eyes and said you must be talking about Bob Heironimus. Denise went on to tell
William that her husband (Neil), Bob Heironimus, and Barry Woodard use to sit around at her house and drink and tell stories. Denise had heard the
guys laughing and going on how funny it would be if Heironimus told everyone that he was the guy in a monkey suit in the Bigfoot film that Roger
Patterson shot in Northern California. They talked about how much they could sell such a story to the “Sun” newspaper for. The Sun is a type of tabloid
newspaper and the price Denise remembered them talking about getting was $50,000. DeHollander placed the time of Denise telling him about
Heironimus at nine years ago. Denise's story truly explains why Heironimus wanted to discuss talking to his lawyer before doing an interview with Greg
Long. When Long first talked to Heironimus, Bob had told him that he had nothing to do with Patterson and Gimlin's Bigfoot film. It was only after Long
opened the door about there being a Bigfoot documentary Patterson was said to have been making prior to the Bluff Creek footage that Heironimus
was willing to consider talking to Long and only after Bob consulted his attorney (Barry Woodard) who happened to be one of the men at Denise
Coffey's house when all the talk about making up a story to sell the Sun had been taking place. It seems to me that Greg Long's first hunch about Bob
Herionimus was correct. Long writes about his first contact with Heironimus on page 152, "When I finished, I concluded that I didn't believe Bob
Heironimus ..."

After viewing that stablilized video I'd have to say that its real. The movement is just so fluid and you can see you muscles move and the fat(what there is of it) jiggle when he(it?) puts his right leg down. Thats WAY to detailed for a suit. This is the real deal.

the point is the stabilized footage actually looks far better than a suit. far FAR! better than a suit you could get built in the 1960's.
You would need a full bodycast, out of latex, rubber or something. And god only knows how they maintained the shape and made the muscles, tendons and shoulderblades bulge in and out. (IM ACTUALLY ASKING HOW YOU COULD, in the 1960's, get a bodycast, secondary shoulder blades and inner muscle structure etc). As for the height it has already been stated that it is taller than the people who did the filming.

Sigh....ok guys THE ADDRESS????? GPS COORDINATES???? im want to go back to the exact location soon.
(Maybe its fake or maybe i dont find anything (most likely) but it will still be a fun roadtrip! ) i could go with infra red, heat sensors etc, motion cameras. id need an experienced tracker too......it would be extremely fun for me actually regardless of the outcome..... i could helicopter over the site as its quite large id imagine........ that way i could get a clear view of habitat.
Is there any possibility of the involved peoples being bribed or sold out? threatened with various horrors by the government as to not reveal the truth/protect the creature as its endangered and as of its hype would be under serious threat???
