# 'Universe' Reports on Strange Utah Occurrences

Lezlee E. Whiting, 1996. _Deseret News_.

A 12 December 1996 preview of a syndicated TV segment on the ranch. Quotes the Roosevelt veterinarian Dan Dennis, who assisted NIDS with necropsies: one case investigated so far, not a mutilation; most mutilation claims are "10 percent scavenger activity and 90 percent imagination."
