You might just want to read up on the concepts of "proving a negative" and scientific theory.![]()
Scientific theory has nothing to do with bigfootery.

How often do Saquatchees wear high heels?
Yeah, I'm finding BigFoot more fun than I ever imagined it would be, too.
I have rarely ventured into GS&P until a few days ago.
It's just silly.
But these latest FigBoot threads have had me laughing hysterically like a madman.
Comedy Gold. Absolute genius.

Well, some it's fun, some of it's sad, and some of it's plain silly.

Read a couple threads; you might wish you hadn't however.
Only for formal sightings.
Bigroots and Bigsuits. It was quite a week in Sasquatchery. Same old ****.

And it's not just jerky hoaxers in Bigfootery but it seems more frequent.

NL:
Can you see how confirmatory bias can make one susceptible to hoaxing?
A few points.
You were handed a Flir camera, sort of the way neophytes were handed a burlap sack before embarking on a snipe hunt. So who handed you the camera? Why? Well, one reason could be that it's the perfect vehicle to produce an ambiguous image subject to interpretation. Paranormal "investigators" are way ahead of bigfoot enthusiasts in this regard. Then, of course, the files were empty the next morning, and you were left with your memory of the events from the night before. Then, what ho, you found a trail that matched your memory. Which leads us here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_memory_biases
Have you given much thought to the perfectly rational idea that your fellow campers hoaxed you? If not, why not?
it was approximately 9 feet tall
It's Comedy Gold™. And we better not find out you just became a fan of Seinfeld too. But seriously, you're late to the show.I have rarely ventured into GS&P until a few days ago.

How do you know what/who was making that heat signature? The claim that it was 9 feet tall came the next day; you found a path that appeared to "match" the one from night before, then you found some foliage to fit your 9 foot claim.I've been pondering this for a little while and am wondering how someone would be able to pull off a hoax for what I witnessed. It was through a thermal scope, so it was producing a heat signature, it was approximately 9 feet tall, and was making it's way through a very thick forest without a light source. Now, you tell me how a person could pull off a hoax fitting all those details.
Who is "we?" If the the thermal files were empty, how the hell could you confirm the path you discovered "matched" the one from the previous night?Northern Lights said:The next morning, we downloaded the thermal files to find them empty. They didn't record anything, much to my frustration. We went into the woods and discovered a small trail which matched the path the image took that I viewed through the scope. I had one camper stand on the path as I went back to my original location and discovered I couldn't see him. There was a line of trees between me and him and he had to wave his shirt over his head so I could see it. We measured the line of trees and they topped out at 8 feet. The image I viewed was above the line of trees so we determined it to be approximately 9 feet tall.

...I watched it move in the deep woods as it slowly approached our camp. The movement was very fluid, appearing to glide along. One of our campers was playing the flute as the others were talking. I could only see a rounded image and did not see any other distinct shape through the scope, but it was very clear and moving and a slow but steady pace. It would disappear behind the trees and reappear on the other side. I watched it for approximately five minutes and lost sight as it got very close to the camp. I decided to walk back to camp and take up another vantage point and see if I could find it again. I was not able to find it again, so I walked back to my original location.
After a few minutes, I was able to find it again close to our camp and it started moving back towards the west away from camp. It was moving slowly and again, I could only see a rounded image on top. It took a few minutes, but it went back to the spot where I first picked it up where it stopped moving. It stayed at the location for approximately 10 minutes where it just faded off and the screen went black.

The image I viewed was above the line of trees so we determined it to be approximately 9 feet tall.
So, to recap, I watched it for a total of approximately 15 minutes, it traveled a distance of approximately 100 yards to our camp and 100 yards back, and it was measured at approximately 9 feet tall...
