Randee Chase: “I don’t think it was another backpacker or snowshoer.”

John Callender (BFRO): “Most snowshoers or backpackers in these conditions would look different than this silhouette.”

Cliff Barackman (Finding Bigfoot): “The more I look into his photographs, the more I am convinced that they indeed show a bigfoot.”

Daniel Perez (Bigfoot Times): “there could be no mistaking this for a man in a heavy black jacket”

But why couldn’t the figure simply be that of a regular person? This is not really some isolated spot deep in the wilds – Silver Star Mountain is only 20km from the ‘burbs and is a popular spot for sightseers year-round.

Isn’t it most likely, then, that the figure captured was just a fellow sightseer?
But look at the comparison pictures (below) – the figure appears huge in comparison to the hiker!

If the hikers are of a comparable distance from the camera as figure (which is what it appears to be) then that rules out some sort of false perspective where the figure is larger because it is actually much closer.
All who have personally investigated the case agree that Chase is honest and not the kind to do a hoax – and I agree. There is

nothing to indicate otherwise. Chase doesn't think it was another sightseer but nor is he convinced it was Bigfoot – he remains curious and open.

     No chance that it is some other creature – canine, elk, bear. The figure is clearly upright and human-like in appearance.
     So if the figure is indeed huge then what else – other than Bigfoot – could it possibly be?

     Let us take a closer look at that comparison – notice how the curve of the hill tops don’t match up well:

If you haven’t already - try messing around with images with a graphics editing program (like Photoshop or even MS Paint) to get an idea of how to re-size images. If two pictures of the same scene are taken from the same spot at different times then those images can be overlayed and having the corresponding features accurately lined-up so that relevant figures stay in proportion. That forms a valid comparison.

In the Silver Star Mountain comparison, however, the curves of the overlapping terrain do not match up at all – the image containing the unknown figure is too large which then makes it onlyappear to be huge when it is not necessarily so.

     In the 2nd comparison pic (left) the slopes of the overlapping terrains are aligned which indicates that the image containing the unknown figure was re-sized.
     To maintain the correct perspective it is necessary to re-size 45 degrees diagonally so that height and width remain in their correct proportion.
     If the image is de-sized only horizontally (left-right) then the figure would retain its height (which remains unadjusted) whilst appearing thinner. This is what has occurred in the 2nd comparison image which maintains the false perspective of a huge unknown figure (below):
