In a recent video posted on the YouTube channel Squatch-D TV, the Bigfoot community is remembering researcher Michael Greene, who passed away last week. Greene was a United States Army tank commander, chief welfare fraud investigator for the state of New Jersey, and forgery expert. However, it was his contribution to the Bigfoot field that has left a lasting impact.
Greene is known for what has been dubbed the "Squeaky thermal video," which was taken on April 28, 2009, in the Uwhari National Forest in Montgomery County, North Carolina. The video shows a large humanoid figure approaching a tree stump that had been baited with a candy bar. The figure appears to be consistently solid in color, indicating heat, with no layering that would suggest a costume.
The video was taken with a Wraith IR250 thermal imager attached to an Aptik MPVR 2K6 recorder. Greene had set up the thermal on a tripod and driven away, leaving the camera to record for a couple of hours. When he returned, the candy bar was gone and the battery on the thermal was dead. It wasn't until the next morning that Greene was able to review the footage.
The video shows the figure approaching the stump, grabbing the candy bar, and then disappearing back into the woods. The actions of the figure in the video are unique and consistent with other eyewitness accounts of Bigfoot behavior.
Greene's narration of the video adds to the intrigue, as he describes the figure as an "unsub," or unknown subject. He notes that the dark patches in the video are artifacts from branches and shrubs between the thermal imager and the unsub.
The video has sparked debate within the Bigfoot community, with some skeptics suggesting that the figure could be a person in a costume. However, Greene's credentials and the unique actions of the figure in the video have led many to take the video seriously.
Unfortunately, the video alone would not be considered as evidence by science, as it is subjective. However, the unsub recorded in the video shows no signs of layering, which would suggest clothing or a costume. The actions of the unsub in the video are unique and consistent with the theory of how the figure was obtained.
In today's world of DNA technology, if a similar situation were to happen, researchers would be able to lock down the area and obtain hair or biological matter for DNA study. Imagine getting a bite of that Zagnut bar that the unsub possibly chomped on!
Thermal technology has advanced significantly since 2009, and it's exciting to think about what new videos and evidence could be captured in the future.
As Bigfoot researchers, it's important to keep an open mind and consider all evidence, even if it's subjective. Michael Greene's contribution to the Bigfoot field will not be forgotten, and his "Squeaky thermal video" will continue to be a topic of discussion and debate within the community.
