There he is.

Bigfoot researchers have once again declared their deeply observant and scientific view that the creature is real.

As WFAA-TV reports, they presented this week what they consider conclusive footage of the hairy being's being.

Okay, some of the footage was from 2005. But don't let that put you off.

The members of the Sasquatch Genome Project -- led by Melba Ketchum, a veterinarian who owns a genetics research company -- insist there have been several sighting in East Texas and along the border with Louisiana.

Honestly, if you were a Sasquatch, wouldn't you hang out in East Texas too?

One researcher, Dennis Pfohl, insisted that the foundations of his belief were shaken by what he'd discovered during research that purportedly cost $500,000.

For myself, I must say that the video simply suggests people dressed up in gorilla suits.

My reasoning is backed by the notion that Bigfoot sightings always turn out to be people dressed up in gorilla suits.

Still, famous naturalist Sir David Attenborough is convinced that Bigfoot does exist, even if he believes that Bigfoot is likely to be found somewhere in the mountains.

Perhaps that level of belief has spurred a Canadian airship company called R.A.T.S. Inc. to back the Falcon Project, which claims to be "the most penetrating search for Sasquatch/North American Ape ever conducted in North America."
