Ely Footage Removed

The Ely Sasquatch Videoes (two original segments and the “forgotten” footage just discovered) have been removed by Richard Sade from the internet.

While the BFRO was involved in assisting with placing a copyright on the video and enlarging the first segment, they were not responsible for withdrawing it, they exclusively tell Cryptomundo this evening.

According to a source deep in that organization, the BFRO related to your Cryptomundo correspondent tonight: “No, we didn’t have the video removed. [The BFRO has] been back and forth with Mr. Sade on email, and his story has become increasingly shaky and frustrating. It’s a pity, because the original footage was quite intriguing. The second segment kind of gave the game away. But your site did a great job providing an arena for the debate, and probably allowed for the truth to [come] out more expeditiously than it otherwise would have.”

Indeed, the story gained worldwide attention, stimulated mostly by over 100 comments from the readers here, here, here, and here.

But in the end, Sade appeared to have been too anxious to overplease the audience, with yet more footage.
