New Bigfoot Evidence Screened as Experts Claim Proof of Existence
Bigfoot is real, and now at least one scientist claims there is proof.
A group of Sasquatch researchers who have been collecting over 100 pieces of evidence over the past five years screened "never before seen HD video" of the alleged creature at a news conference in Dallas on Tuesday.
The footage, which came from a similar effort dubbed The Erickson Project, led by Adrian Erickson, included what the group said was a sasquatch moving through wooded areas in Kentucky.
Dr. Melba Ketchum, who has led the group of researchers called the Sasquatch Genome Project, has been working on a $500,000 analysis of DNA samples from an unknown hominin species. Ketchum calls the project "a serious study" that concludes the legendary Sasquatch exists in North America and is a human relative that arose approximately 13,000 years ago.
"They're a type of people, they're a human-hybrid, we believe. And all of the DNA evidence points to that. And they can elude us, so if you get [footage] at all, it can be fleeting," Ketchum told ABC affiliate WFAA.

Cool Astro,
I came across these native alaskan accounts of what they call "The Hairy Man"
Probably old folk tales you know, but i found them charming to say the least.
and you know theres no smoke without fire.

I still want a corpse. According to Lloyd Pye, we've had a few, and a couple of them were fairly convincing, but that by itself is not good enough. Coupled with Lloyd's other evidence, it would go close to being good enough for me; but it won't be for the pseudoskeptical mainstream.
We need something that we can forcibly ram down academia's throat; it has to be sufficiently compelling that Randi and crew have no possible chance of being able to refute it. The existing paleontological circle jerk is very well entrenched; proving this to the point where they can't just reflexively wipe it off, will be very difficult. There is intense pre-existing bias.
The potential implications of Sasquatch proof, are major. Pye implied that it could be a genuine game changer. He might well be right.

If he knows we had them he presumably knows where the corpses are?
I think there is no reason to suppose a crypto-hominid or two couldn't exist around the world. Proving it is tough these days though because anything can be faked now.
Ahh thanks for the reminder, off to buy the journal ;)
this quote pretty much explains it....sigh

Bigfoot Exists, Claim Researchers Who Present Hi-Def Videos -- Did They Deliver The Goods? The Huffington Post | By Lee Speigel

Bigfoot exists. At least that's what a team of researchers wants you to believe, based on evidence they presented at a press conference in Dallas on Tuesday.
The group -- under the auspices of something called The Sasquatch Genome Project
http://sasquatchgenomeproject.org/
-- is led by veterinarian Melba Ketchum, who has spent five years collecting alleged Bigfoot DNA specimens in an attempt to prove that the legendary tall, hairy creatures actually exist.
A press release this week promised that the research group would show "never-before-seen, high definition video of Bigfoot subjects inhabiting the forests of North America." As seen in the ABC news report above, three of the clips shown to a small gathering of reporters claimed to depict a juvenile Bigfoot walking in the woods, another "older" Bigfoot's face, and a third very short video clip from 2005 reportedly showing a sleeping Bigfoot.
The footage, presented by an entrepreneur named Adrian Erickson to promote an upcoming documentary, leaves plenty of -- maybe too many -- unanswered questions.
The sleeping Bigfoot footage isn't new -- it was first videotaped eight years ago. Why hasn't the public been allowed to see more of the video? If the videographer was that close to Bigfoot, what happened when the creature woke up? Did it run away or turn to attack? As with many Bigfoot videos, we're left with scant evidence instead of irrefutable proof that Bigfoot exists, like the project claimed.
Here's the very short video clip of the sleeping Bigfoot that the public has been allowed to see since 2005:

Plus, The Sasquatch Genome Project and its "findings" have already been debunked several times.
A previous HuffPost Weird News story http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/bigfoot-dna-results-final_n_2681135.html
detailed how Ketchum, anxious to get her findings out, basically purchased a little-known "journal" in which to publish her research. The research itself was deemed bogus by The Houston Chronicle.
"Rather than spend another five years just trying to find a journal to publish and hoping that decent, open-minded reviewers would be chosen, we acquired the rights to this journal and renamed it so we would not lose the passing peer reviews that are expected by the public and the scientific community," Ketchum herself wrote on the Sasquatch Genome Project website. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/bigfoot-dna-results-final_n_2681135.html
Ketchum has made repeated promises to The Huffington Post that "more scientists" would be interested in substantiating her findings. Those scientists have yet to make contact.
So before you read one of several news stories
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/bigfoot-existence-backed-dna-video-report-article-1.1473883#ixzz2gaARsq7P
reporting that Bigfoot is real, look at the counterpoints to The Sasquatch Genome Project's research. It proves only that Bigfoot's existence is still in question.
May I encourage you all to go back to The Law of One thread and review the bigfoot info :)
From the link you provided Astro:
Quote
Todd R. Disotell, a professor at the Department of Anthropology at New York University, told ABCNews.com that Ketchum's research is nonsense.
"It's just a joke," he said. "She is a laughing stock of people that are of a community that are already kind of wacko."
"This was not reported in any scientific way whatsoever. It's complete junk science, and then she misinterprets it. She hasn't published in peer-reviewed papers on this stuff. I don't know how this got put together," he said.
Disotell says that he has disproven samples from being what they're claimed to be many times, including debunking a yeti, a chupacabra, and a sasquatch eight times, including once on ScyFy's "Joe Rogan Questions Everything."
"You can't prove something doesn't exist," he said. "You can prove that every sample you're brought isn't what they're claiming, But you can't disprove this. It will go on forever. We'll always have it."
Well its obvious Yahoo or anyone for that matter will run with someone like above as it it generates argument, that sells.
I do find it funny that when you read the article he doesn't actually state anywhere that he tested the same samples in question.
Then as an aside, how many people really sit down and have the qualifications to read DNA sample's ? Although it may be more than a few... but in my un-educated guess I would bet people with the knowledge to perform such test's are not quite as abundant compared to people in professions that watch MS Excell from 9-5.
There was a "Ask me Anything" style thread with an author on ATS only last week who had published a book on this matter. The thread itself was more about missing person's and unrelated to The Yeti's. All the same it was a very interesting read.
Funny how the whole planet has Yeti experience's well before the web or widescale book publishing ;D
Although this is pretty awesome news in of itself for furry critters, and it is unrelated directly to this Yeti news it must be said though that this recent finding of a creature in a certain region after 140 odd years really shows how much hoomans know about what is going on in the wild!
Endangered tiger quoll spotted in Grampians for the first time in more than 140 yearsQuoteA tiger quoll has been sighted in the Grampians National Park in western Victoria for the first time in more than 140 years.
The elusive marsupial was caught on film by a remote camera set up to monitor wallabies in a very remote area deep inside the park on September 25.
The last record of a sighting of a live tiger quoll in the region was in 1872.
There have been a few unconfirmed sightings, but it was largely presumed to be extinct in the Grampians.
Parks Victoria ranger Ryan Duffy says scientists had to verify the photo. "When I first saw it I was incredibly excited," he said.
"We've always thought that this animal could occur within the park, but we've never had any evidence to prove that."
Another Parks Victoria official, Ben Holmes, says he could not believe his eyes.
"There is no mistaking the spotted body colour, which can only be a quoll," he said.
The tiger quoll, which is also known as the spotted-tail quoll, is a carnivorous marsupial, which can grow up to one metre in length and is listed as an endangered species in Victoria.
Parks Victoria will now "refine" the use of the cameras to hopefully build a better picture of how widespread the population is across the national park, following several unconfirmed sightings over the past few years.
Parks Victoria chief executive Dr Bill Jackson says it is an extremely exciting rediscovery and highlights the critical role parks play in conserving unique biodiversity

Listen to the condescension of the twat that is interviewing this well travelled man.
There will always the well heeled naysayers that will poke their ugly head into your world.
They will have nothing to bring to any party. And their stories will never beat yours.

Watched Part 3 of Bigfoot Files...This week was about a Russian Female Bigfoot known as Wildwoman that was first seen in the 1870s...
A link below shows the episode although it may only be viewable in the UK..
Bigfoot Files, Episode 3
Taking a look at the Yeti or Bigfoot to see if there is any truth behind sightings of the creature. The Professor of Human Genetics at Oxford Bryan Sykes attempts to solve the mystery once and for all. Looking at the Russian creature known as an Almasty, and the case of Zana, said to have been found in the wilderness. Professor Sykes tests DNA belonging to her offspring to see if there is any truth to the theory that she may be descended from Neanderthals
The 'Almasty' is Russia's very own Bigfoot. It has been written about for over 300 years, and Russia's Almasty hunters claim there have been over 10,000 encounters over the years.
The big theory in Russia is that it's a surviving hominid, possibly even a Neanderthal.
Mark Evans travels to Russia and investigates one of the highest profile Bigfoot stories in the world: the tale of Zana, the so-called Wildwoman: a living Almasty said to have been found in the remote Caucasus in the 1870s.
She was alleged to have had four children by her captors over the years. Almasty hunters have tracked down her descendants and Bryan Sykes uses cutting edge tests to analyse their DNA and test the Neanderthal theory about Zana.
Mark also meets a giant among Almasty hunters, seven foot tall former heavyweight boxing champion of the world Nikolai Valuev, who is now Duma Deputy (the equivalent of an MP) for Kemerovo in Siberia.
Mark joins him as he checks out the latest hot Almasty sighting and meets the three kids who claim to have captured one on camera near a frozen lake.
Finally, in Moscow, Professor Sykes reveals the results of his DNA tests on Zana's relatives. The results are unequivocal, extraordinary and totally unexpected.

The Almasty
Marie-Jean Koffmann is considered the Leading field investigator of almas (wildman) reports in the Soviet Union. Originally from France, she obtained an M.D. at Moscow University in 1941, and went on to surgical practice in Moscow hospitals. She conducted research through the Institute of Morphology and Pathology of the USSR Academy of Medicine.
(http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a572/paparumbo/koffmann_zpsf20b6c69.jpg)
Dr. Koffmann served in the Red Army during World War II, attaining the rank of captain. She fought in the Battle of Moscow, as well as in the Battle of the Caucasus, during which she was second-in-command of a battalion of mountain rangers. She received seven Soviet battle citations.
After the war, Dr. Koffmann returned to her main avocation: mountaineering. She participated in the first Soviet expeditions to previously unexplored mountain ranges, including the Pamirs in 1947. In 19S8, she was elected to the Society of Geography of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
For the past 30 years, Dr. Koffmann has been living and working in the field, obtaining and studying evidence of the supposed Soviet wildman. She has done this mainly in the Caucasus and the Pamirs.

Interesting stuff Elvis. Just too many reports from all over the world to dismiss. I will be heading into the deep woods in a few weeks. It's mostly a camping/fishing trip, but if we see or hear something that would be cool. There have been a lot of reports from the area we are going.
It would be nice to have one of these! Color images in the dark! The new night vision technology is coming!
It's reported able to record subjects as faint as 0.005 lux (at F1.4, 30 fps), has a spectral sensitivity of 390 to 700 nm and a 250 percent dynamic range. All of which is claimed to give the device a resolution and color clarity that offers a high degree of target recognition and identification, and a light sensitivity that goes well beyond what's capable with other night vision systems.
"With this new camera, it will for the first time be possible for news and broadcasting stations to record at night and broadcast events to the public they could not show us before in good quality colors," says company president Tosh Komamura.

That's a nice bit of kit Cosmo.
Just back to the Almasty stuff, The Ruskies seem to have a far more scientific mindset redording there own Bigfoot. They don't seem to ridicule the idea like we do in the west.
Very refreshing in my book.
Also the anecdotal testimonies seem very matter of fact. Like they know they exist and its no big deal.
Where are you heading for your investigation?
Elvis.
