Is Roger Patterson a Hoaxer Scammer or a Genius? Regardless the patty film is FAKE!

Everyone has seen this tape shot in 1967.  If you haven’t,  watch it right here.  These images have become the staple for both Bigfoot believers and skeptics.  Some say this is obviously a man in a suit.  Others respond with the odd stride the creature has and how it can’t be replicated by a human.  Without this tape, believers wouldn’t have much to stand on, so they’ll defend it to the death.  Here are the facts about this tape and why it is nothing more than a hoax…

This video was shot with a 3 speed camera; this means that the film could be ran through the aperture at 3 different speeds and nobody knows what speed it actually was on at the time.  Have you ever seen an old black and white movie from the 1920’s where it looks like everyone is moving faster than a cocaine taste tester?  That’s because the

Comparing his claims to actual scientific advances is fallacious; he uses hoaxed/fraudulent data, and substitutes circular reasoning for proof. Meldrum is worse than your "Bafoons" because he masquerades as a scientist who seeks the truth; in reality, he is not a truth seeker; like the creationists and the global-warming deniers, he seeks only to validate his beliefs.
