Simple question for Bigfoot enthusiasts: Why no unambiguous photos/videos?

And as someone trained in Hominid physiology, I'd jump to a claim that some films show a non-human femur/fibula ratio, but I'm left with the clearer, forced to be more hominid, claims that the films are faked, and have to wait for better evidence. :boxedin:

Unfortunately the only thing there is to support that are is a bad comparison with some crayon scribbles and the wishful thinking of a fanatical believer. That is unless you think Paris Roubaix of Studiodrome got the real thing in Northern California in 2005:





Those are some long-ass arms.

Welcome to the JREF, dropzone. Your input is most welcome.

I don't have a problem with documenting these things, my issue is that you said/implied video of the creature itself would hold no weight, yet then claimed video of the evidence somehow does. It doesn't make sense. Who cares if you have video of a footprint if you can provide video, or a live specimen of the foot itelf? Find the creature already, and you'll have all the dna, footprints, scat, pig carcases and vocal recordings you can stand.

How many crashed airplanes are there in North America that have never been found? They're bigger than a Bigfoot & not moving around

Think so ?

You don't have a clue ...

My point was & is..If a bunch of huge objects that aren't moving, haven't been found in decades, how strange is it that we have trouble finding much smaller animals that are moving around. When a plane crashes, it's approximate location can be calculated by where it went off radar, its altitude, speed, & approximate amount of fuel
 
If crashed planes moved around the forest and encountered people just like Bigfoot does... we might find all of them.


Breaking News: A missing plane was found yesterday in Alaska when it tried to cross a highway and was smashed by a big rig. Last month, another missing plane was found when a hunter shot it. Lamar Declipompsky from California said, "I knew my shot was good and it wasn't a case of mistaken identity. This plane was sneaking around behind some trees and was watching me. Obviously, it was one of those crashed planes because the non-missing ones are all up in the sky or parked at some airport. I took the shot. This kind of closure is important."

How many crashed airplanes are being seen everywhere, yet found nowhere? How many crashed airplanes have been found versus how many bigfoots have been found? How many bigfoot remains have been found versus the number of Steve Fosset remains?

Do you really consider 400 reports/year a lot for an area the size of the continental U.S. AND Canada?
 
Where do you get 400 reports a year? Source please.

But for the sake of argument let's go with 400.
The PGF was filmed in 1967, that's 41.5 years ago. That was about the time the flap started.

41.5 x 400 = 16,600 sightings give or take.

And still not one unambiguous photo or video. Wonder why?

No, I do not. In fact, the number is so insignificant that lies, hoaxes, and misidentifications could EASILY explain bigfoot sightings. I wish you guys would make up your mind though. On one hand, you tell us there are far too many sightings for none of them to be real, and now you're telling us that there aren't really that many sightings after all.

But back to my question: how many crash sites are being seen, but never found? And since you asked, maybe you can tell us....how many crash sites ARE there in NA that have never been found?

Oooh, and here's a bit of trivia for you...how many bigfoot did they find while searching for Steve Fosset's crash site? Zero. How many crash sites did they find? Six. Six more crash sites in less than a month of searching versus zero bigfoot....in over 200 years.

Gold.:D

Nominated for extremely fine pith.
 
Interesting camera trapping research project to survey for cougars in Western Kentucky/Tennessee. They didn't capture any on camera but got lots of other animals. No Bigfoots.

The report contains some very interesting data from a project in Myanmar to survey tiger populations.

How do you know if an animal is truly absent?

Carbone et al. (2001) used camera trapping rates and computer simulations to estimate the minimum effort required to determine if tigers (or any other species) were present in an area.

Carbone et al. (2001) found that camera trapping programs running for 1000 trap nights had a 95% chance of obtaining at least 1 photograph at simulated low tiger densities of 0.4-0.7 individuals per 100 km2.

If trapping effort were 10,000 trap nights tigers presence could be determined when cat density was very low 0.05/100km2

I think "trap nights" = number of cameras x nights in use. Bigfooters may not realize that there is a history of camera trapping projects throughout North America done by various agencies to survey animals. It may be that areas considered to be Bigfoot hotspots have already had these professional camera trapping projects.

A skeptical researcher might do a survey of camera trap surveys to illustrate the "been there - done that" factor that may remain relatively unknown unless you dig into the available reports and papers.

How many crashed airplanes have been found?

How many times do you think we have heard this line of reasoning? Have you seen some of the threads here? We didn't just get off the bus...

I read the figure of 400/year somewhere. I think on one of the Bigfoot threads here. I know we (The W.V.B.I.G.) have received 17 reports in just under 38 months. Only 13 of which were published because 2 were laughable & 2 didn't stand up to further investigation
