The reports grew from ordinary events and misperception in a place with a reputation, amplified by the people who told them and the buyers who wanted them.
Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: five pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- The extraordinary claims trace to a few individuals and were first recorded well after the events.
- Event rates rose with attention (the 1996 press, NIDS's arrival, the television series) rather than independently of it.
- The Basin's wider sighting record shows the same classes of report without the ranch.
What would rule it out
- A contemporaneous, timestamped instrument record of an event with no mundane explanation, examined by analysts independent of the owners.
