ā€œBut skeptical viewers of the footage say it is just a man dressed in a furry suit.ā€

Yes, but who lent him the suit? YETI!

So:

a) A guy covered in white, orā€¦

b) A race of large humanoid creatures in the Spanish Pyrenees. Just one creature wouldnā€™t do it; youā€™d need a minimum viable population all through human history. A population that hasnā€™t left behind a fossil record. None have been found dead from natural causes or a fall or having been hit by a truck. None have been found electrocuted after climbing a hydro tower. None have been shot and retrieved by hunters.

Gee. Which one could it be?

Wait, how did Yeti get from the Himalayas to the Pyrenees? Helicopter?

Iā€™m interested in what ā€œcovered in whiteā€ means, what a man would be covered in ā€œwhiteā€ for, and what said man is doing out there. Itā€™s easy to say ā€œThatā€™s not a yeti.ā€ But it seems rather difficult to explain what it actually is.

We just need to review flight records from

Also, how did this ā€œman covered in whiteā€ magically limit the skierā€™s camera to only taking ten seconds of video? I think itā€™s much too soon to rule out aliens from the bible.

More importantly how do you add those blurred sides for portrait video?

Itā€™s likely yet another person trying to create a hoax.

It could be a well-made polar bear suit or white ape suit (which may sound strange, but the original Star Trek series had no problem finding one already in the costume and props store.) I wrote simply ā€œcovered in whiteā€ because the video is blurry and shaky enough that someone could have simply torn apart a white couch and tied the cloth around some guy.

He probably bypassed security so thereā€™ll be no record. White privilege.

The Spanish mountain infantry is stationed in Jaca, about 50 km from the ski resort in Formigal (not the explanation, but more likely than Yeti).

We canā€™t identify what the hell that is. And yet some how theyā€™ve identified a Yeti.

With all due respect to the Fermi Paradox, I think the real reason we havenā€™t found the existence of intelligent alien life is because the people that ā€˜haveā€™ found intelligent alien life and recorded it as proof ā€˜refusedā€™ to turn their damned phones on their side to take a proper video, and all the rest of us donā€™t watch portrait videos. :unamused:

Seriously though, we have 17 cameras and 53 gyroscopes and 4K virtual reality holodeck dopler 7000 screens (now with Retsin!) on our phones nowā€¦why havenā€™t they designed the cameras and video so they just ā€˜forceā€™ the final shot to be horizontal, even if the shooter refuses to turn their camera on itā€™s side? :blush:
