Brian Vike - Bigfoot Prints

[TClaeys]

Anybody know anything about the Candian researcher Brian Vike??

He apparently came by some strange prints in the past few days. I think he is pretty much a UFO researcher, but does have a collection of bigfoot sightings as well.

And he says there was blood and hair collected to be analyzed.

I like the last line of the article, which is also true of any enigmatic cryptoid;

" conclusive proof that they do not exist does not exist"

I know of him. Not a fan. But he isn't piss poor either. Just piss.

His earlier work seemed better than when he started getting attention.

I'll re-read (think I read this stuff, or heard about it months ago but not sure) the links later and maybe comment on the Bigfoot stuff.

I don't know, just emailed him and asked why he didn't show the pics of the open area, and he says he has more coming up soon, but the media calls are keeping him quite busy.
we will see, I will check the link to his website (if I find it again) in the next day or two.
He is not too concerned about proving the pics are real, he said whoever wants to check them out, fine, he knows he took them and that is good enough for him.

again, we will see how this one plays out, I personally hope there is something to it that is tangible, ie the blood sample, but any animal could have dropped blood there, it doesn't necessarily have to be from the animal that made the print.

keeping my fingers crossed on this one. although if there is conclusive proof, then that means the beasties are on even more hit lists for some idiot to go bag him one...

The problem is that they are in snow. Nobody will take snow prints seriously. Melting often increases the size is often quoted. Unless you can get a print with dermal ridges nobody takes it even remotely seriously.

Dermal ridges are easy to fake. There is a urethane resin available that expands when you put the casting in water. You just make a mold of human foot, cast it resin, expand it, and go have fun.

Dermal ridges have been debunked. The plastering effect can give forth the appearance of dermal ridges.
