Bigfoot Spotted Lurking Under Bald Eagle Nest
CNET ^ | October 6, 2016 | Eric Mack

A webcam trained on a nest of eagle chicks in the woods of Michigan also catches a glimpse of something else in the wild.

Bigfoot, that mysteriously unkempt and anti-social gentlemen of the woodlands, has again made an appearance on camera in his trademark blurry yet intriguing style.

This time the legendary cryptid has apparently been captured on the CarbonTV Eagle Cam in northern Michigan. The live webcam is trained on a bald eagle nest 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground near the Platte River State Fish Hatchery.

As you can see in the video above, a dark lumbering figure walks into frame about 10 seconds into the clip. The shadowy silhouette of something clearly bipedal makes its way through the stand of trees before walking out of frame.

While the creature appears to fit the traditional description of Bigfoot, it also could pretty easily be explained as a bear or a human. Because the camera is capturing the forest floor looking down from 100 feet up, the perspective is a little screwy and it's hard to get much clarity.

Local media reported the story Wednesday, but the footage was actually shot in the spring of 2016. It was posted to YouTube earlier in the year but then taken down due to a copyright claim by CarbonTV, which then posted the clip on its own account in September.

This sighting is about on par with other inconclusive bits of evidence that Sasquatch exists, like the few seconds of something hairy captured in Sequoia National Park earlier this year.

Check it out for yourself and see what you think. One thing is for sure, though: those bald eagle chicks are ridiculously adorable.

Last spring I noticed that a UFO Conference was being held nearby. I always like characters so I attended. They discussed Sasquatch and the general consensus was they are an evolved space alien and make themselves invisible when they sense something like a camera.

Yep I was thinking just that...

Bigfoot jokes and Michelle O never get old.

How does one walk “walk tentatively”?

So space aliens who travel light years just to give earthlings a scare in the woods.
I guess even space aliens need a hobby.

Thank you for telling me that. I could not figure this out.

However, I’m still skeptical here.

It’s good to be skeptical, and I have no idea about this video - I’m not ‘tech-savvy’ enough to know how these things can be manipulated.

But the literature on Bigfoot, especially the older stuff, is fascinating and certainly gives one pause.

He/it was not walking like an animal would. He/it was hesitant in taking steps over the brush.

If Bigfoot exists, it’s not merely an ‘animal’ as we usually use that term.

I live surrounded by millions of acres of National Forest, mountains 6-7000 ft on one side, and big “hills” up to 4500 ft on the other. Pretty much surrounded. There was one college prof who totally thought Bigfoot/Sasquatch was myth and went on treks in the mountains to debunk/disprove any evidence that anyone came up with, etc.

He had an experience that proved to him that he was wrong, and he is now a “believer”. I read about him years ago so can’t remember many details, but IIRC he saw a large, biped hairy creature with his eyes, smelled it, heard it, saw scat or other evidence, etc.

I wonder why in all these years no dead bodies or body parts or skeletons of Big Foot have ever been found?

Well, I could be entirely mistaken; but this is the one ‘anomolous’ thing that I’ve studied which has convinced me that there may be something there.

Well, the bigfoot believers would say that Bigfoot is a rare critter; we don’t know how long it lives; and that nature has a way of destroying and scattering remains - and all of that would reduce the likelihood of finding remains. Or they would suggest that the Bigfeet take care of their dead in a primitive way similar to the way that we do.

Or they would ask, ‘how often have you found a dead bear carcass or skeleton in the woods?’

Al Gore? Michael Moore? Rosie O’Donnell? Hildabeast? Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Aieeee!! We’re doomed.

On second thought, it could be Minnesota Dem Sen. Al Franken back in his gorilla suit from the movie “Trading Places”.

More environmental pollution.

The Art Bell show with the woman who had a Bigfoot in the woods behind her property was extremely interesting.

That was interesting.
