Don Young Thermal Image Analysis2

If you are unfamiliar with this video, it is reported by the BFRO as:

"This is the first thermal footage ever obtained of a sasquatch".

This is a rather bold statement in my opinion and tells me people are not looking at the details and trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

The report for this incident can be summarized by 3 points:
1. There was a rock or branch that was apparently thrown.
2. There was more than one creature rustling branches.
3. It was pitch black and Don Young did not actually see anything (he admits this himself).

Here is my explanation of what happened. This is simply a forest creature the size of a deer, large wolf or bear (I can't say exactly which one, but I am suspecting a deer because of the head shape). There were more than one animal in the area and that explains the noises from various areas.

When the creature in the thermal image shows up, it doesn't look alarmed and turn it's head to face away from the camera more than once as if uninterested or unconcerned.

There are many frames where the outline of heat signature just screams it's anything but a Bigfoot.

Later in the video, the exit of the creature is convincingly bipedal. However, we only see part of the picture because of the blockage of the creature by the trees and brush. If one could remove the blocked out portions, it could give an entirely different picture than what appears obvious at first glance.

Also, it is inconsistent with the earlier part of the thermal video. A forest animal doesn't just become a Bigfoot later on in the video.


Someone will eventually capture some clearer footage of a Bigfoot one day, but unfortunately, this video isn't as conclusive as it is being reported.

it looked like a man when it exited

I agree that it "looks" like a man when it exits, but it also looks "off" and I can't quite put my finger on it. The quality of the video doesn't help either. However, there is something about the motion...

What do you think about the movement of the creature earlier in the video, before it exits?

So, how did "bigfoot" know to hide behind the rock or stump or whatever and not step into full view? Is the creature clever enough to know what the hell was going on? I guess this kind of hoaxing is safer because it's at night and your partner in crime doesn't have to put on a phoney suit and risk being shot by someone with a gun not in on the joke. The deer analysis makes sense, too. Sorry, but I'm not buying this. You could put a note in the forest and the BFRO folks attribute it to BF.

I think there has to be importance placed on a scientific approach. There are those at the BFRO that would believe anything and I guess on the other side, there are those that will never believe anything. So, it's important to keep an open mind and not blindly believe in something just because you want it to be. The video needs to be treated as evidence and analyzed as such. I see a lot of people looking, but not a lot of people analyzing or taking measurements or anything like that.

Yes it clearly is a fox or wolf

Wonderful video. It looked almost convincingly like a bear on the original. but after your outlines, not sure if it is a deer instead. the ears give it a bear's appearance, but the neck is deerish. not sure what could've spooked the animal, but if the breeze picked up and the animal caught the human scent, it bailed. anyway, everyone assumes this was done at night. there's no way to know with a thermal camera what time of day it was. if it was a dude, then easily a bfro nerd was the culprit.

That hominid creature could see in the dark where the cameraman could not.

Every answer offers more questions.

its a bigfoot

I've seen lot's of bears in the woods in PA.. It looks like a bear to me... It stood up as it turned to the right. Plus you can't see the whole body at any one time...

[burton7505]

when it runs off its neck isnt a bigger than a human, definitley wouldnt classify this as a sasquatch... at 0:27 - 0:29 it definitley seems to have ears like a deer, maybe a bear... and at 0:44 when the camera seemed to move, the shape changes behind the brush, it goes from bending over eating to lifting its head up from behind where the body should be... fake imo.

Oh I agree, but how many years are we going to have to wait for this thing? Good heveans. What's been found of worth? All the so called evidence is like this film here: to the skeptics, nothing; to the believers, proof. Bigfoot is more a social phenomenon now, or has gone into the realms of the paranormal (which can be so off the wall and ridiculous). The BFRO seems to me to give things the sniff test--a quick assumption and acceptance or denial. They believe what they want to believe.
