A press conference in Palo Alto, Calif. tomorrow is planned to showcase yesterday's bold claim that the remains of a Sasquatch, or bigfoot, have been found in northern Georgia. Matthew Whitton, a police officer, and Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer, along with veteran Bigfoot tracker Tom Biscardi of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., said they came across the seven-foot, seven-inch (2.3-meter), 500-pound (227-kilogram) body of a simianlike creature in the woods. The group also said DNA tests are being carried out and that a team of undisclosed scientists will examine the corpse.
ScientificAmerican.com contacted Jeffrey Meldrum, a prominent researcher on Sasquatch and professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University in Pocatello, who has studied bigfoot prints and other clues like hair samples. Meldrum has written a book on the subject of whether or not the mystery beast is real, and has previously said that "the evidence that exists fully justifies the investigation and the pursuit of this question."
Cryptids, or bizarre, undocumented animals like the "Montauk monster" and the chupacabra, have been making the news rounds lately. Will this latest claim wither under scrutiny, or have these amateur bigfoot hunters in fact really found something?
An edited transcript of what Meldrum had to say about this week's supposed discovery follows.
What do you think of this announcement of a bigfoot body being found in Georgia?
I'm extremely skeptical about this bigfoot claim. I haven't been contacted by any of the principal [people] involved in this. I've had interactions with Tom Biscardi [the bigfoot hunter holding the press conference] in the past, and based on that history, I would say that anything he is involved in is suspect. The fact that the two Georgian men [who said they found the body] turned to him and not anyone with scientific credentials is very questionable.
What about the pictures?
So a picture is worth a 1,000 words. What I've seen so far is not compelling in the least, and I think the pictures cast grave doubts on their claim. It just looks like a costume with some fake guts thrown on top for effect. Even if [the bigfoot carcass] had have been eviscerated by a predator or a scavenger, [the entrails] wouldn't just be sitting up on top like that. Someone says [on the Internet] that they've found an off-the-shelf costume that looks a lot like the figure in these pictures.
So apparently [the bigfoot finders] stuffed the body into a freezer. You look at it and there doesn't seem to be any mass there, of muscles and bones and so forth. Also, they tried freezing the corpse in a block of ice—you wouldn't do that if you were trying to preserve a specimen, unless you're trying to hide the details.
So what is the story with the Sasquatch DNA evidence?
All the rumors about the bigfoot DNA results are just that: rumors. I spoke to Curtis Nelson (a biologist from the University of Minnesota) who is doing the DNA tests, and he all he could say is that there are no results yet—he can't say anything more due to a nondisclosure agreement. Apparently Curt just received a vial of tissue in the mail, and there's no chain of custody, no validation that this tissue came from the corpse in question. Since there is no known Sasquatch genetic material to compare it to, he may just end up with a gene sequence that doesn't match any other primates, at best.
Why would anyone stake such an outrageous claim without proof?
I don't know what their motivation would be. I don't see how they think they can perpetuate such a hoax in this day and age. You hold out hope that bigfoot will be found one day, and to some extent this is probably what that event would be like. But assuming that this kind of scenario transpires at some point, hopefully it wouldn't unfold in such a carnival atmosphere and the proper authorities and scientists would be involved.

On top of it, these guys dont care who believes they just know allready.
An extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. If this claim is legitimate, the claimant will have no problems providing providing all the evidence necessary to convince the most skeptical observer.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisLOL This guy is skeptical because the body wasn't allowed to be examined by "those with creditentials" Thats a good one...anything that disputes evolution or the scientific clique's current view of things is suddenly destroyed or disappears! If you find something...don't give it to the smithsonian, FBI, local museum or anyone with supposed "creditentials"!! Document the @#%& out of it and contact a pot full of media with cameras! Then maybe something will really be released to the public!!! all in my humble opinion of course ;)
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisHype....and nothing more. I this day and age when almost anything can be faked, you have to get the evidence out there where everyone can see it as soon as possible. Keeping this "body" secret only fuels the skeptics so if it was real (which I do not belive for a second) then they should have taken a intense set of photos and video, taken samples, and as was said before, contacted the media and had every reported on planet earth there to document. They are not hiding something, they are hiding everything and if you got the real goods, you don't keep it all under the table.

I want to complain about this whole line of discussion centered around "there has to be a body in order to prove Bigfoot exists." Why not studying them in the wild? Someone is going to kill one of these shy and magnificent creatures just to prove they exist -- but then one less of them exists. It makes me crazy and sad to think about it. Bunnies exist. Lots of them. They eat plants in my garden and run away when I try to approach them. I've never seen a dead one, but I still know they exist.

I've seen Dr. Meldrum interviewed a number of times on TV and interviews replayed on the internet. I agree with Jake George, Meldrum is knowledgeable and professional. If I found a Bigfoot body, he's the one I'd call.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisSomewhere I saw an experiment -- I can't remember if it was online or on MonterQuest. They took a fresh killed deer carcas (it has been hit by a car) and staked it down in the woods so it couldn't be dragged off, then set up a time-lapse camera to see how long it took to decay. How long do you think before all that was left was bones? I'll come back and post the answer after a few guesses.
All we need is a DNA test by a legitimate, well-established laboratory to establish whether this story is a hoax or not. I'm expect that DNA test will never happen. There will always be some excuse by the "discoverers" to prevent it or the evidence from surfacing if it turns out to be a fake. If it is actually tested, I'm betting that the corpse will be a bear or some other large animal. Perhaps a sewn-together chimera from someone's imagination. I seriously doubt that it is what they claim that it is.

I hope they have found a body that has died by natural causes, then the world will believe and we can pass some laws to protect the species form those that will hunt the creature down.

Scientific American. What constitutes a bigfoot "expert"?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI am starting to doubt the authentic substance of this claim. If.... lets say the find of a never recorded bird, small mammal or even a larger mammal where discovered it would be introduced to every scientist, not just one flake who has faked a bigfoot before. where is national Geo. ? don't they have scientist that are world renowned and have credibility. I want this to be real, I really do, BUT, I feel this is a bunch of crap. This is just my opinion, I hope I am wrong.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThat's my whole point. Unless you were really lucky to stumble upon a creature that had died within the last day or two, you'd come upon something so covered with maggots you'd never be able to recognize it, let alone bring it home and stash it in your freezer.

Okay, look. The supposed body looks very "freshly dead". Since decomposition starts to set in almost immediately after death, they would have had to have found it fresh and then had that freezer pretty darn close by to get it frozen that quickly. Pretty hard to do that out in the backwoods. Plus look at the teeth. They are bright white. Unless there's a sasquatch using whitener and brushing regularly... wild critters usually have pretty dirty teeth.

Too bad Bigfoot is NOT running for President...we need some vital new leadership! We all need to believe in Bigfoot because we need mystery and unexplained phenomena to remind us that there are powers on the Earth and in the Universe far greater than Big Oil, WalMart and NeoCons. I have been deep into the coast redwoods, up and down the Hoh River trail, into the Goat Rocks and Wm. O. Douglas and it is very easy to believe Bigfeet live, even though I have never seen the slightest trace of them. A clue to the reality is the name "Sasquatch". The native Americans knew of this creature long ago and gave it a name. "49ers" in California ran into them and reported them numerous times. There is something of reality in the myth. Too bad, also, that fakers and hoaxers continuously try to cash in on the legend. I would certainly hope no one ever puts a Bigfoot in a zoo!

In a talk at the American Physical Society meeting earlier this year, Seiden gave an overview of the LHC research program, including a rough timeline for reaching certain milestones. One of the most highly anticipated milestones, for example, is detection of the Higgs boson, a hypothetical particle that would fill a major gap in the standard model of particle physics by endowing fundamental particles with mass. Detection of the Higgs boson is most likely to occur in 2010, Seiden said.

If people want proof go out and look chempomagon national forest in northern Wisconsin will open your eyes hike in feel no camera no gun. Night you hear them then you smell them. Night two they're in your camp. By the way don't ever trust the bigfoot inc. Guys they have a history of scamming the public.
