They were milling around and not talking very much, some were glancing to the back of the humvee carrying the creature, I remember one Ranger in particular that was sitting up in the gunner's hatch of one of the better equipped humvees and was staring at the bed that had the creature, he didn't stop staring the whole time I was out there. You can just tell when people have gone through something. None of them were talking about it and I wasn't trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Few random thoughts.
There are a great many known and unknown genetic abnormalities that change human body shape, including hair and height. Im not sure about Afghanistan, but many old rural communities do not allow abnormal human beings in their village, but may support them if they stay away. "freakshows" are allowed to live on the outskirts.

For example, many "alien corpses" are actually humans shaped differently by genetic or developmental differences to regular humans.

no

This.

Have to say I'm fascinated by bigfoot stories. It's one of the few things where I suspend my rationality because I just really, really want it to be true.

this thread is worthless without grainy, out of focus pics

I'm surprised they didn't search everyone and confiscate any cameras. The Rangers screwed up taking the time to strap a tarp over it but leaving it's legs exposed and in sight of anyone walking by.

Necrofootia

Based on the OP, it looks like you are not alone on this.

I think people get sucked into Bigfoot because more than other stuff, it seems so plausible because of the whole missing link theory.

There used to be a guy at WSU who was like the foremost bigfoot scholar and what not, and as a kid I saw his **** and bought in hardcore. It all works if you basically assume there has to be a thing that exists between man and ape because you're 9 and think you get evolution. Once you're not 9, kinda falls apart.

Stuff like the OP's story I find so frustrating, in part because:

1- it's just that very human, but very silly, thing where we can't just stop at "huh, that's weird, but I just don't have enough information to know anything for sure"

2- it's the fatal flaw in so much conspiracy theory, where somehow evidence of a thing exists such that random dude can be aware of it, but is magically covered up so that nobody else got the word out. That thinking was silly in 1980, and in 2014 is asinine. Somebody finds actual real half evidence of bigfoot and it'll be all over twitter in minutes.

I truly did not know anyone believed or had interest in bigfoot. This is surprising to me. Are there people who still believe in the lochness monster, too?

IMO the hierarchy for conspiracy stuff, based on what I watch in sci-fi

government coverups > aliens > some dumb animal that's like a giant gorilla

which is an inverse of how much respect I have for someone that truly believes that stuff

How big were the feet? I mean did they seem like just extra large feet or were they so big that they didn't look real?


No bones ever found = No such thing as Bigfoot.

I've always wondered when one is found some secret agency rushes in to cover it up. What sense does that make ? A girl went out with me once and told me sometimes big feet just mean big feet too though

I mean, really. Who doesn't have a Bigfoot/Yeti Story these days?

I once played blackjack with Yeti in Vegas.

It was fun.

Is dkgojackets Aghani? Would explain a lot

It was bad guys wearing costumes to pillage and scare the locals into submission, and it would have worked if it wasn't for some meddling kids.

Did I ever tell you about the time Bigfoot/Yeti sold me into slavery? He puts me on a ship to Thailand, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' Bigfoot/Yeti, he's back in the States siring three beautiful children with my wife.

Where is momma and poppa and sister Bigfoot? Need to procreate I would imagine so must be more than one.

It probably was a bigfoot. Whats the big deal about bigfoot anyway. Just another different kind of ape in the jungle.

People act like its an extraterrestrial or something. Its another kind of anthropological earthly creature. I really dont understand the historic fascination with it, sure its interesting but the mythological aspect is too much.

Alright nevermind after looking at this picture I must say the creature (if real) is rather monstrous/menacing.

OP has never seen an Afghan chick not wearing her ninja outfit. Except for that night.

i've always been a big fan of this gif

Could that be a guy in a costume? Judging from the looks of the face when it turns and looks at the camera I would say not likely.
