The trouble is dozens of people have claimed to be the man who wore the suit in the footage, and costumer Phillip Morris claimed to have designed and created the creature suit, but the details of their accounts often conflict and none of them have brought forward definitive proof to debunk the film yet. Thats why I think the footage will always have its beleivers and unbelievers.

Quote:Bill Munns, a recognized expert in special effects and a creature suit fabricator, in his book "When Roger Met Patty," leans towards the film's authenticity. Munns' analysis, based on the creature's anatomy, movement, and the challenges of creating a convincing costume in the 1960s, adds significant weight to the argument for authenticity.
