Anyone know about the unreleased Midwest bigfoot video

[GT/CS]

THey were smart enough to "let sleeping dogs lie"!

Agreed,
Looks like a big dog to me.

It looks like some poorly made shag carpet from the mid-70's....

Supposedly there is video of it moving or breathing.

But it's so obviously wrong. I just can't imagine where they are going with this...

This image tells you at least three things:
-They don't have anything
-The guy who took this is a con man (think the guys who worked for Tom Slick)
and
-the guy financing this operation is a gullible rich guy (think Tom Slick)

Skepticblog takes on The Erickson Project

To me, it seems like it should be hard to authoritatively answer questions about a cryptid that is only hypothesized to exist (and then only by the fringe of the fringe), and of which there are no specimens; indeed no proof that it exists at all. But The Erickson Project found it quite easy...

I highly recommend we all read this.
It breaks down basic footer claims, and exposes the claim that science is not willing to take risks, therefore they won't seriously investigate the Bigfoots.

It is hardly possible to be more wrong about scientists than this. Every professional researcher I know would want nothing more than to find something new and exciting. “Steering clear” of new discoveries is a good way for a scientist to lose his job; not to keep it. Scientists are not employed in the hope that they will discover nothing. A better reason that so few scientists have dedicated time to sasquatch research is that there is no good evidence that the creature exists; thus it would be a waste of resources that could be better applied to fields more likely to produce results.
