    The Patterson–Gimlin film (also known as the Patterson film or the PGF) is an American short motion picture of an unidentified subject that the filmmakers have said was a Bigfoot. The footage was shot in 1967 in Northern California, and has since been subjected to many attempts to authenticate or debunk it.

No not the elephants, or dolphins, or any of that shit that doesnt have two legs, two arms, and walks upright. I want another intelligence that looks similar to me.

    It is not “an obvious hoax” or else it would be 100% debunked by now. Given the fact that Patterson and Gimlin are adamant that they saw a real bigfoot, as well as the arm length being disproportionate, the way it walks and left footprints, the muscles being defined under the skin and its estimated size, leads a lot of reputable scientists who analyze the actual film (not the shitty “stabilized” youtube versions) to conclude it is unlikely to be a man in a suit.
