Hum Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) PALO ALTO, Calif. -- It's more than 7-feet tall. Weighs over 500 pounds and walked upright -- three "Bigfoot" seekers, including a Redwood City man, Wednesday claimed they have proof that they have found the body of the elusive creature in the wilds of Georgia. And on Friday, at a news conference in Palo Alto, they say they will present DNA evidence to prove the carcass of "Rickmat" is that of a bigfoot. Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, Georgia residents who lead Bigfoot-tracking expeditions, say they found the body of what appears to be a Bigfoot in the woods of northern Georgia and will join local Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi at the news conference, according to Robert Barrows, who is publicizing the event. Among the other physical characteristics of the body they have released included the creature has flat feet similar to human feet. It's footprint is 16 ? inches long and the length from palm to tip of the middle finger is 11 ? inches long. Barrows' name is known in San Mateo County, where he has made multiple bids as a Democratic primary candidate for the District 12 Congressional seat formerly occupied by the late U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos and now by Jackie Speier. "I think you'll find that this is the real deal," Barrows said of the alleged discovery. Whitton, a police officer in Clayton County, and Dyer, a former correctional officer, are not saying exactly where the body was found or where it is now, Barrows said. Biscardi, a veteran Bigfoot tracker who said he went to Georgia to view the find over the weekend, said DNA tests are being conducted and a team of scientists will study the body, but declined to name any scientists involved. Officials from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division said the largest wildlife they are aware of in the state are black bears and white-tail deer. The show is heard in over thirty countries. source Edited August 13, 2008 by Hum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacer Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Very cool if it turns out to be true. To think that something like this (animal? prehistoric humanoid?) survived this long without being formally discovered is amazing. If this thing was elusive enough up until now, what else might be out there? *queue x-files theme* But, I agree with Miguel_montes. This article is mostly useless without pics.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2008 And on Friday, at a news conference in Palo Alto, they say they will present DNA evidence to prove the carcass of “Rickmat” is that of a bigfoot. No, provide a body as evidence, not lame DNA samples. That line alone tells you this is fake. If you make a discovery like this you want the world to see and know about it.

Hum Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 ^ The body pictures were shown on FOX News this morning. The guy is inviting reporters to view it next week. ;) "In a news conference on Friday, August 15th, to be held in California, the DNA results of a probable new species of primate, call it ?Bigfoot,? ?Georgia Bigfoot,? or ?Georgia Gorilla,? if you wish, will be announced." http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/ga-gorilla-pic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Characteristic of this creature: Here are some of the vital statistics on the "Bigfoot" body: *The creature is seven feet seven inches tall. *It weighs over five hundred pounds. *The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like. *It is male. *It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes. *It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. *The feet are flat and similar to human feet. *Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at the heel. *From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are eleven and three-quarters inches long and six and one-quarter inches wide. *The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same day that the body was found.) *The teeth are more human-like than ape-like. *DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press conference on Friday, August 15th.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted August 13, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2008 is this a joke? I seriously hope it is not. I can't believe they actually found a bigfoot.... my entire world has flipped upside down.. All these years of bashing the existence of bigfoot just went out the window.

Typhon Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 That looks like a Gorilla in the wild :o Yea but if it is over 7 feet tall it can't be. They only stand 5 to 6 feet right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Veteran Posted August 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2008 The nose definitely looks like a gorilla...and his tongue's hanging out. Here's a quick zoom and lighten I took from the photo posted on page one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to hunt down and kill the Lockness MOnster Well, I was like you but I realized how big is this country and who know what more creatures this country is hidden. But I agree with you, now the government will probably closed the northern of Georgia and send scientist to study the area and maybe find bigfoot creatures alive.

But I agree with you, now the government will probably closed the northern of Georgia and send scientist to study the area and maybe find more bigfoot creatures alive. yeah but after all these years, no one found a body of a bigfoot, or caught one. You usually only see these really bad quality videos or pictures. I found a couple of news sources picking this up.
