BIGFOOT BODY FOUND More.. - EVIDENCE AND DNA DETAILS TO BE PRESENTED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15th
FROM 12 N00N TO 1:00PM AT THE CABANA HOTEL-PALO ALTO IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA
A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as “Bigfoot” has been found in the woods in northern Georgia.
DNA evidence and photo evidence of the creature will be presented in a press conference on Friday, August 15th from 12 Noon to 1:00pm at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, 94306. The press conference will not be open to the public. It will only be open to credentialed members of the press.
Here are some of the vital statistics on the “Bigfoot” body:
*The creature is seven feet seven inches tall.
*It weighs over five hundred pounds.
*The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like.
*It is male.
*It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes.
*It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and
five toes on each foot.
*The feet are flat and similar to human feet.
*Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at the heel.
*From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are
eleven and three-quarters inches long and six and one-quarter inches wide.
*The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same day that the body was found.)
*The teeth are more human-like than ape-like.
*DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press conference on Friday, August 15th.
The creature was found by Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer (residents of Georgia) in the woods in northern Georgia. (The exact location is being kept secret to protect the creatures.)
Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer will be flying in from Georgia to be at the press conference. Also present at the press conference will be Tom Biscardi, CEO of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc.
Whitton is a Clayton County, Georgia, police officer, who is currently on administrative leave after being wounded in the course of duty pursuing an alleged felon. Dyer is a former correctional officer. Whitton and Dyer are co-owners of bigfoottracker.com and Bigfoot Global LLC., a company that offers Bigfoot expeditions. Whitton and Dyer are working with Bigfoot hunter, Tom Biscardi, and Biscardi’s Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., to present and conduct the scientific study of the evidence and information on this body.
A few weeks ago, Whitton and Dyer announced the finding of the body on the “Squatch Detective” radio show, an internet based radio show hosted by Steve Kulls. While on that show, the commentator asked Rick Dyer “Would you allow one of our people to come down and verify the body?” Dyer replied, “The only person we would allow to come down and verify the body was ‘the real Bigfoot Hunter,’ Tom Biscardi.” The next day, the producer of the Squatch Detective show contacted Biscardi with pertinent information on how to contact Dyer and Whitton.
Extensive scientific studies will be done on the body by a team of scientists including a molecular biologist, an anthropologist, a paleontologist and other scientists over the next few months at an undisclosed location. The studies will be carefully documented and the findings will be released to the world, according to Biscardi.
Biscardi is known as “the real Bigfoot Hunter” because of his extensive investigations out in the field. He has been searching for Bigfoot since 1971 and over the past several years, he has been criss-crossing the United States and Canada tracking down the hottest leads on Bigfoot sightings.
Videography on the studies will be done under the supervision of Scott Davis, an independent producer and owner of TV Biz Productions in Phoenix, Arizona.
Currently, Tom Biscardi and his Searching for Bigfoot Team, in conjunction with Bigfoot Global LLC., are preparing to capture another of these creatures alive. That expedition will start very soon. The dates and the locations are being kept confidential.
The body that is currently being studied is being referred to as the “RICKMAT” creature, a name derived from the names of Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton. [Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman recommends the term “Georgia Gorilla” be used to remove any taint of ego from the discovery, and so the general public, media, and science will have a comfortable moniker until a formal zoological name may be bestowed.]
Last year, a film that Biscardi produced about his investigations, called “Bigfoot Lives,” won first place in the Documentary category at the Pocono Mountains Film Festival. Biscardi also hosts a Bigfoot oriented internet radio show that can be heard on Wednesday nights from 7:00pm to 8:00pm PDT at www.bigfootliveradioshow.com. The show is heard in over thirty countries.
Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. has exclusive rights to all publishing rights, photo rights, television and film rights, production and distribution rights and other commercial opportunities related to the discovery and findings regarding this body and these creatures.
Interested parties may contact Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., in writing, at their mailing address, 1134 Crane St., Suite 216, Menlo Park, California 94025.
In a news conference on Friday, April 15th, to be held in San Francisco, the DNA results of a probable new species of primate, call it “Bigfoot,” “Georgia Bigfoot,” or “Georgia Gorilla,” if you wish, will be announced. You have read the press release already.
Also a photograph of the body was to be released, but a mistaken uploading and premature release of the photograph tonight on Tom Biscardi’s website has rushed that timetable.
I, Loren Coleman, author of The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates and Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America, was given an exclusive first look at the body, via an early email delivered photograph today.
Is it real? It certainly looks like the real deal, and with a surprising variety of features.
The hominoid (please note, not hominid) body, found in the Georgia woods, is now in a secure location, under armed guard, and set to be examined by a battery of academic scholars, skeptical scientists, Bigfoot researchers, and debunking writers.
Who is to say the discovery of Bigfoot won’t happen this way?
With offers of millions of dollars, just for the photographs of the body, Loren Coleman and Cryptomundo was given one copy of the first image to share with you, our readers today.
The body doesn’t look exactly like people thought it would, because the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot has been the model in our minds. However, this looks as if it is an actual apelike primate. Indeed, the gorilla-like facial features, the robust lack of canines, and the grinding surfaces shown in the teeth suggest a bulky vegetarian with a mixture of higher primate characteristics.
Will further tests and the proposed live capture of others prove beyond a doubt that Bigfoot is a new species? Stay tuned.
HLN:
Twee professionele Amerikaanse Bigfoot-jagers beweren een lichaam te hebben gevonden van het legendarische, reusachtige wezen, dat een vermeende primaatsoort is van de mens maar dan een pak groter (tot 3,5 meter). Matthew Whitton en Rick Dyerzal zullen morgen naar eigen zeggen aan de wetenschappers en aan de rest van de wereld het bewijs leveren van hun verbazingwekkende ontdekking.
Duidelijke foto's
Het duo doet al jaren Bigfoot-expedities en zou twee weken geleden in de bossen in het noorden van de Amerikaanse staat Georgia - in het zuidoosten van de Verenigde Staten - een dood exemplaar gevonden hebben. Ze hebben het karkas in een diepvriezer gestoken. Samen met de beroemde Bigfoot-jager Tom Biscardi - die de ontdekking bevestigt - zullen ze morgen in Californië de pers te woord staan, mét DNA- en fotografisch bewijsmateriaal.
Website crasht
Matthew Whitton is een voormalige politieagent, die herstelt van een schotwonde, en Rick Dyer is een ex-cipier. Het tweetal heeft foto's (zie boven) op de website searchingforbigfoot.com geplaatst, maar die kan het gigantische aantal bezoekers momenteel niet aan.
Voeten van 41 cm
De gevonden 'wildeman' is half aap, half mens. Hij is 2,3 meter groot en weegt 230 kilogram. Zijn haarkleur is ros, de ogen zwartachtig grijs. De wereldberoemde voeten - vandaar Bigfoot natuurlijk - zijn vlak, 41 centimeter lang en tellen vijf tenen. Het wezen heeft eveneens vijf vingers aan elke hand en de tanden lijken meer op die van de mens dan op die van de aap.
Levende Bigfoots
De twee jagers beweren verscheidene rechtoplopende Bigfoots - ook verwant aan de Yeti trouwens - in de omgeving te hebben gespot, maar willen die welbepaalde regio niet prijsgeven aan de wereld om de primaatsoort te beschermen. Samen met collega Biscardi zal er snel een nieuwe geheime expeditie opgezet worden om een levende Bigfoot te vangen.
Mythe?
Vele sceptici geloven niet in de mythe van de Bigfoot, maar na de foto's van Rick Jacobs (zie kleine foto), die vorig jaar in oktober een Bigfoot meende te hebben gespot in Pennsylvania, groeide het geloof in het bestaan van het bijzondere wezen. Maar het enige grote 'bewijs' tot nog toe, waarvan de valsheid nog niet aangetoond werd, zou een filmopname uit 1967 zijn, gemaakt door Roger Patterson en Bob Gimlin. Zij kwamen een vrouwelijke Bigfoot tegen in een open gebied in een bos in Bluff Creek, Californië. Bekijk zelf het filmpje.
Ben nu eens echt benieuwd naar die persconferentie.
Alleen heb ik zo de indruk dat alles een beetje commercieel uitziet.
Wat denken jullie?
