Well....there is a significant difference in size, or mass, between an infant primate and a mask......is there not?
The lifted object in the video, to me, appears to be too massive to be a simple mask, or a hood.
One way to tell which object....infant or mask....more closely resembles the lifted object....is to try making a videotape, from the same distance as Lori was from the subject, using the same type of camcorder (Larry told me the make and model number of the camcorder)....of a person dressed in a black suit against a green background (an open hillside, preferably), lifting-up a mask...and then, another video of the subject lifting-up something comparable to an infant, like a stuffed animal, and putting it onto it's shoulders.
One of those will much more closely resemble what the MD Video shows.
BTW...I do have a full unedited version of the video, with soundtrack.
Lori continued running the camcorder, for a minute or so, roughly...searching the wooded area for the subject after it disappeared from view.
