unusual pleasure at seeing a creature at

peace with nature

she observed5E5E5&} hairy giant for several

moments and considered it not in

the. Tippettple have seen

Bigfoot now is it possible that

allllucinating look see this skull

now that's hard evidence

testdeal with bring me a bone or a

skull or carcass and then maybe I'll

believefootf

law-abiding respectable people have

testifiedy've seen Bigfoot

they've signed affidavits to that effect

they've even subjected themselves to

examinationosis and

scientific community

disregards such testimony

unreliable

so what isn't it possible that science

doesn't know how&} use oral evidence

I mean how to evaluate it let's say the

way the law does} was an oral testimony

the basis of ourCCCCCC&} system I don't

knowence needs something concrete

why for instance hasn't a hunter ever

been able to find the remains of a dead

Bigfoot in the forest} there have

been so many people through the area

wheregsedly has been

seen yet nothingn

to find out the answer I talked

anthropologistBradley well

ineality\c&HCCCCCC&} few bones are ever found

anywhereforest when an

diess immediately eaten by another

animalis the disposal service of

areundance up there dr. Bradley

it's beend by some

maybe the Bigfootheir

deadt's remotely possible if Bigfoot

iss some of us think

species ofre man-like than

beasts but it is possiblet's a

proposition completely rejected by my

colleagues but then my colleagues

completely reject the possibility

Bigfoot

Bigfoot most scientists say cannot exist

butn malarkey of Deer Lodge Montana

disagreescare what other people

think I saw a Bigfoot ten years ago I

wasth 11 other Boy Scouts at the time

and we're camping 18 miles south of

Buttehe Deer Lodge National Forest

we had walked in to the forest about

miles thatver yell we got

and two other boys saw the giant monster

[Applause]

he took us a coupleto

sleep

and when we got up the next morning we

went up on where we saw the

Bigfoot oute got

discovered a number of footprints

biggest footprints I've ever seen and

they lookg like this

[Music]

footprints thatant walks

foot printsd be permitted to

establish the existenceCCCC&} if

after all fingerprints can be used to

hang one

[Music]

these footprintse of

their number do not convince the

scientific that Bigfoot exists

these scientistsature

plays tricks withially

in the snow

foot prints they say change shape grow

larger as they continuously melt and

refreeze

I asked Peter Byrne formerly a big-game

hunter and the Himalayas about this

theory of distorted footprints

offshoot\c\c&HCCCCCC&} a small footprints do

melt our thisprint of a

deer sayhes across may become

five or six or even seven inches across

when it meltsnot melt with

any uniformityE5&} that if you had a line

of thesents the melted

footprints of a small animal

out completelyiformity

different shapes

blobs andthink it's ridiculous

to suggest that a small animal and the

melting snow could really make

track

[Music]

some believe thatints

are made by bears

placed their hind feet into the tracks

of their front feet

I don'tthis is possible

footprints seen are very

definite they're the

foot of a large bipedal hominid a

human-like creaturec&HCCCCCC&} when

you get an overlapon

of toes and heels and so on these are

clear-cutts and in my mind

there's no mistake they could not be a

I took thees recorded by Alan

Barry\c\c&HCCCCCC&} dr. Robert Sheldon not knowing

what strange creature made these sounds

dr.eldon's subjected them to a

rigorous computer analysis how do you go

about analyzinge first

thing we do is to digitize

sound into the computer

digitizing consists of converting each

secondund intos that

are stored in the files on

we cant any portion of this we'd

like and do a frequency

portion we've chosen that a sound from

the tape because it seems to have an

unusualg structure you mean that
