Yeti. United States

New evidence has emerged from Rick Dyer, a bigfoot expert who claims to have hunted one of these hominids in a forest near San Antonio, Texas, on September 6, 2012. Dyer has just posted a photo, which, according to him, depicts the face of a deceased creature.

Dyer claims he tracked down his victim, whom he calls Hank, nailed pork ribs to a tree and waited with a British film crew led by BAFTA Award-winning director Morgan Matthews. When Hank got closer, Dyer says he chased him and shot him three times, while another bigfoot attacked Matthews and scratched his face.

“He definitely approached the cameraman and attacked him, but I was busy with another bigfoot, so I didn't have another chance,” Dyer explained to the media.

The other most controversial points of this hunt are that they also claim to have conducted “DNA tests” on the creature's body, and after they showed it to more than 100 witnesses, it will now be presented to everyone. The United States. Dyer is convinced that his Bigfoot is completely real, and as he told the media, in addition to DNA testing, he also underwent 3D optical scanning and body scans.

For his part, Morgan Matthews Matthews did not comment on this, but will present a hunt called “Shooting at the bigfoot.” An advertisement for the film describes Matthews' experience as “a search that ultimately left him scarred, mentally and physically.”

Needless to say, the confusion surrounding the events left a lot of room for skepticism, among them Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropology at the University of Idaho, an expert on the movement of hominids and collected more than 250 casts of huge remains. traces.found in the forests of North America over the past few decades.

But Dyer's photograph does not convince Dr. Meldrum, who believes that “the most obvious thing is that a sample was made for this case that has a certain similarity to the autopsy of aliens.” Dr. Meldrum also said that when he asked Dyer to confirm the authenticity of the body, he refused to talk to any of the scientists who allegedly conducted tests at an unnamed university in Washington State for a year.

Meldrum doubts why Dyer hid the body, to which Dyer replied that he had waited so long to show Hank to the world because of the non-disclosure agreement he signed with his company's investors. After a year of testing, he says the deal is finally off, allowing him to share a photo and make plans for a North American tour with the body. Given the income he expects from Hank's rights, he says:

“Now I'm going to catch him alive.”

But contrary to what investors thought, Hank has not yet become a national surprise, partly because of Dyer's involvement in a widely publicized “hoax” in 2008, which involved a rubber snowman frozen in a block of ice.

That's why Dyer doesn't want to talk about this new event until Hank's authenticity removes all doubt, which, according to him, will happen at a press conference on February 09.

“I'd rather tell this story when everyone knows it's true,” he said. “Right now I have zero credibility.”
