Looks a bit sus to me. If it's true, the guys with it in their freezer probably shot it. It reminds me of a doco I saw years ago about trying to find surviving Tasmanian Tigers. They interviewed a number of people that claimed to have seen them over the years. Right at the very end of the doco they asked this funny old inbred Tassy guy what he was going to do when he finally caught the tiger - he smiled a big toothless grin, held up his gun and proudly announced he'd "shoot it".

Well, the guys at Fortean Times (the only monthly subscription I hold apart from a heap of programming journals) are being tight-lipped about it. There are several highly regarded individuals who have seen the corpse who have said that they believe it to be legit, but it's early days yet. I would be an amazing cryptozoological discovery.



Watch this space.

It looks like a monkey suit with a load of offal chucked over it.

So these guys saw a few and then found a dead body in one small area? Likely story. And why would you go to a local phone in radio programme? Wouldn't you get onto CNN or similar?

It's certainly interesting as one of them is a Clayton County Police Officer and the other is a retired Corrections Officer.

I'm going to be very interested to see what come from the DNA tests on the corpse.

Will you be handing your DNA over for comparison

bigAPE

Nah, all that would prove is that he's more APE than man We need the DNA of a "norm" to compare against

No point looking anywhere around here then

lol - great minds.

It reminds me - now I think of it - of that ape in the train scenes in the film Trading Places (Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy).

It's a load of Ogopogo shit. Everyone knows that Bigfoot lives in the BC interior and not in the US.

There are Lake Monsters all over the world. From Nessie in Scotland to Morgawr in Cornwall, Gryttie in Sweden to the Lukwata in Uganda. Where ever there is a large wilderness area where there is a chance that the ecosystem has not been significantly spoiled over time (and there are many, although Loch Ness is a tough one) there seem to be these stories and sightings.

I try to keep an open mind about these things. While we are so advanced as a species that we are almost capable of finding the Higgs boson particle by using the Large Hadron Collider to smash protons with an accelerated energy of seven trillion electron volts, we still don't know everything about the lifeforms that live on/in our planet. I'm not a monster junkie, but I do believe that with all the new species found every year and with all that we don't know and haven't visited there is much that we could find out.

Besides I know my stuff

Bigfoot fails DNA test
http://www.theage.com.au/world/bigfo...0816-3wir.html

"One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 per cent from an opossum, according to Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the DNA analysis."

...and by the way, regarding the reliable witnesses...the former (not retired) corrections officer (Rick Dyer, age 31) coincidentally runs a business that offers Bigfoot tours.

The other dude, Matthew Whitton, is his partner in that business.

Whitton and Dyer co-own bigfoottracker.com, offering exploration expeditions in the North Georgia Mountains.

They registered that domain name on June 16th this year.
How amazingly coincidental is it that just a short time later they discovered bigfoots body !!!

Check out their infomercial...

Unfortunately further examination found that it was only Smurtaza.
