The NY Baby Bigfoot video, page 3

I don't get you people. There are a few obvious things to point out here. Whatever the creature in the background is (the one in the tree), it is definitely swinging around, and is DEFINITELY not a human. Whether it be an ape, monkey, or unknown primate is the true question we should try to figure out.

What is the proof that this was filmed in NY?

The film was investigated (and as far as I know, is still being investigated).

This site did most of the investigation, and I suggest everyone scan through it (admittedly it's not the best written article) before they make up any wild theories about monkeys in yellow hats....

(Just kidding!)

But for the lazy ones, here are a few important notes:

There are two silhouetted figures visible in the footage. Both are apes. The smaller one is clearly not human.

According to few well known primatologists, the only possible alternatives to an unknown ape species are: 1) an exceptionally large gibbon, or 2) a year-old chimpanzee. Comparitive measurements may rule out those alternatives. It's size may be far beyond the known size ranges for gibbons or chimps, which are not native to upstate New York
...
We're predicting that all primatologists who look at it closely will agree that the small figure is not a monkey. It's an ape.

Pay attention because this is very important info:

The circumstances of the footage make it unlikely that it's a tall human prowling around tents with a pet ape and letting it loose in the trees. Throughout the entire northeast U.S. there is a legal ban on private ownership of any nonhuman primates. The primary purpose of the legal ban is to prevent the spread of lethal, highly infectious diseases, like Ebola hemorrhagic fever, etc., which crossed over into human populations through pet primates
...
Ownership for commercial (e.g. zoo) purposes requires a special permit. Certain smaller species of monkeys are bred and sold in New York state for medical research purposes, but not for pets.

The tree is still there, apparently, but has not been measured yet.

There is an open invitation to engineers to go to the site and measure the tree for complete forensic analysis... (To figure out just how big the swinging primate was...) More info is available on the site and directions will be given on enquiries.

The figures weren't noticed until a few years after the tape was shot. The cameraman was transfering his 8mm tapes to VHS tapes. His camcorder was hooked up to his big screen TV. Pridgen's girlfriend noticed it and called him in to the room to ask what it was.
...
The location where the footage was obtained is between Modena and Ardonia, New York (Ulster County), within view of the Catskill Mountains.

The nearest sizeable city is Poughkeepsie, NY.

On the blog there is also an explanation that the campers were searched for animals before they were allowed on the campsite...
