Now, t h e r e a r e t h r e e b a s i c reasons why t h i s s i g h t i n g r e p o r t may

1. The witness could be l y i n g .
2. The witness could be i n e r r o r .
3 The witness could have seen a d i f f e r e n t o b j e c t than
t h a t reported by t h e o t h e r observers,
There i s no reason whatsoever t o be-lieve number one; number two
could be p a r t i a l l y t r u e ; number t h r e e could very w e l l be t r u e .
