Are there any, aside from the PGF, in your opinion ??
I mean, there's lots & lots of fakes/hoaxes & a few " possibles " but all are ultimately inconclusive one way or the other if they haven't actually been proven to have been faked but are there, in your opinion, any other Pictures out there that YOU think is actually a BF or do you really think that there aren't any, made availble publically anyway ??
Bobby: I am glad you asked for opinions about "Pictures of Bigfoot". I have not posted for a long time, but always monitor the posts here. I think you have always been fair and impartial on the forum, and I believe your question was sincere. And, for that I wish to offer my opinions.
Yes, I believe there are many photos, some from the early days of cameras, and many more photos from recent years. In the last few years there have been several videos made by citizens and never made public. But, there are no doubt a multitude of photos and security videos that were made and being withheld by various U.S. Government Agencies, primarily the Defense Department. An example is a fairly recent case in which security cameras inside a highly restricted DOD facility during the night detected "three people" that had intruded onto the base. The breach was seen and recorded by security personnel on video equipment. A security alert was issued and made public. A full scale investigation was instigated, and tracking dogs from a local Air Force base were brought in. The next day, the base commander issued a news release which stated that the intrusion was made by animals. The base would provide no further details, nor would the base release copies of the video tape. The kicker is that the base is surrounded by areas that have continued to generate credible reports of enigmatic primates for well over 100 years. One of the animals was seen a few miles from the base about two weeks ago. The witness is well known in the area, and his hunting history, skills and experiences are extraordinary.
The above statement contains opinions. The following is factual information that is pertinent to your question. Yes, there are many photos and videos in the hands of ordinary citizens and "Bigfoot Researchers". In addition to the videos that are currently being discussed on this forum, there are others that are currently being examined by reserchers. The videos will probably be released to the public in the near future.
A final comment. Some of the photos and videos I have seen were made near rural home sites which are routinely or occasionally visited by these creatures. Some folks, in a derisive manner, term the visits as "habituation" based on their flawed belief that these creatures are monsters that would have no contact with "humans" except to do them harm. Nothing could be further from the truth. In most cases, it is the humans who newly habituate these rural areas, not the creatures. The creatures are simply following age-old foraging paths, and interested in the new residents, and interested in their gardens and orchards as food sources. (The creatures' overnight theft of every fruit from apple and pear trees is one of the most conclusive clues to their presence in an area.) In some cases their "house-warming parties" get out of hand, as hundreds of reports in researchers' reports will confirm.
This comment is made to point out that MOST of the folks that have these creatures visit their rural property on occasions do NOT make that information public, but will work with researchers who are not hell bent and determined to kill one and cut off it head for science. All these people know these creatures are some type of primate that is a closer relative to us than they are to apes. They may not meet the dictionary terms for humans as humans themselves defined, but they do have most of the attributes.
Thanks again for your efforts on this forum. It is very much appreciated, and, to say the very least, refreshing.
