The Patterson-Gimlin film, shot on October 20, 1967, by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in Bluff Creek, California, is one of the most famous pieces of evidence supporting the existence of Bigfoot. The film shows a large, bipedal creature walking through a clearing, looking back at the camera before disappearing into the forest. Despite extensive analysis and debate, the film's authenticity has never been definitively debunked. Skeptics argue it’s a hoax, possibly a man in a suit, while believers claim it’s genuine proof of an unknown primate. The footage has become iconic in cryptozoology and popular culture.
Bob Heironimus claims he was the man in the Bigfoot suit in the Patterson-Gimlin film, but several factors negate his assertion.
Firstly, Heironimus came forward decades after the film was made, leading some to question the timing and motivation behind his "confession". Critics argue he might have been seeking attention or financial gain.
Secondly, the suit he describes is different from what experts have analyzed in the film. The creature in the footage exhibits muscle movement and anatomical details that would have been impossible to replicate with the costume technology available in the 1960s. Even renowned special effects artists have struggled to recreate the same realism.
Lastly, Patterson, who passed away in 1972, and Gimlin have both consistently maintained their story, enduring rigorous scrutiny without wavering. Gimlin, in particular, had nothing to gain after he quickly forfeited his share of rights to the film. Despite his wishes to maintain a normal life, Gimlin and his wife were stalked, harassed, and ridiculed at their home, workplaces, and public places within their community for decades following the film's release. Even after extreme pressure to give some sort of "confession", vicious attacks on his character, and invasion of his privacy, he has always stood by the film's authenticity.
These points collectively discredit Heironimus' claim and help maintain the intrigue surrounding the Patterson-Gimlin film.

In July 1947, a purported UFO crash occurred near Roswell, New Mexico. The military initially announced the recovery of a "flying disc," but quickly retracted the statement, claiming it was a weather balloon. Conspiracy theories suggest a cover-up of extraterrestrial contact, fueled by reports of debris and alien bodies. Decades later, the US government acknowledged the debris was from a top-secret surveillance project, "Project Mogul." Despite official explanations, speculation persists, making Roswell a focal point in UFO lore, emblematic of alleged government secrecy surrounding potential extraterrestrial encounters.
Key players in the Roswell cover-up included military officials and government agencies such as the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), which later became the United States Air Force (USAF). Brigadier General Roger Ramey, who initially announced the recovery of a "flying disc" but later claimed it was a weather balloon, is often cited as a central figure in the cover-up narrative. Additionally, individuals involved in the retrieval and cleanup operations at the crash site, as well as those responsible for disseminating official explanations to the public and the media, are believed to have played roles in suppressing information about the incident. The extent and specifics of their involvement remain subjects of debate and speculation within the broader context of the Roswell incident.
