Page "Bigfoot" Paragraph 18

* 1967: Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin reported that on October 20 they had captured a purported Sasquatch on film at Bluff Creek, California.

This came to be known as the Patterson-Gimlin film.

Many years later, Bob Heironimus, an acquaintance of Patterson's, said that he had worn an ape costume for the making of the film.

However, Patterson and Gimlin claimed that they sought various experts to examine the film.

Patterson claimed to have screened the film for unnamed technicians " in the special effects department at Universal Studios in Hollywood ... Their conclusion was: ' We could try ( faking it ), but we would have to create a completely new system of artificial muscles and find an actor who could be trained to walk like that.

It might be done, but we would have to say that it would be almost impossible.
