CLAIM-216377reported
“One April evening in 1996 Tom reportedly saw an intense blue orb larger than a baseball maneuvering near the ground and released three dogs to chase it. After the animals followed it into brush he heard yelps and then silence.”
CLAIM-216379reported
“The chapter says that the next morning Tom found the dogs incinerated in a clearing. This is preserved as the source’s reported aftermath; Chapter 10 does not provide a forensic report demonstrating that the orb caused the animals’ deaths.”
