1
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:10,359
Speaker 1: Back in nineteen eighty four, my family lived on a

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,640
farm on the edge of town in the heart of Kentucky.

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,359
The house sat on a hilltop with a big black

4
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:20,719
barn behind it and a long, narrow valley beyond that.

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,000
The house set well above the roadway and even higher

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,760
above the valley. The valley sat even lower and was

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,359
surrounded by woods. I was sixteen and feeling pretty low.

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,079
My girlfriend had just called me on the phone and

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,759
broken up with me after two months. She didn't even

10
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,920
give me a reason. It was February, but the weather

11
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:46,600
was beginning to show signs of spring after a long winter.

12
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:50,640
The temperature was somewhat in the mid forties, and there

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,159
were only a few patches of snow here and there.

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,840
I needed to get away and think, so I headed

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,640
for my favorite spot for me, that the woods. I

16
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:04,799
spent a great deal of time there, and sometimes with friends,

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,879
but usually alone. My father had left my mother when

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,120
I was young, so the male role models in my

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,359
life were my two uncles. They taught me to hunt

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,200
and fish, and to appreciate the beauty and wonder of

21
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,120
nature in those woods. They were a couple of great guys.

22
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:24,599
Looking back, I really missed those times that we spent together.

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,840
I walked down to the bottom of the valley, like

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,159
I generally did. I was deep in thought about why

25
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:34,560
my girl would break up with me, and I wasn't

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,599
paying attention when I heard a thumping sound. It was

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,760
something solid hitting the grass covered ground. I looked around

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,280
and saw a rock about twenty feet from me, rolling uphill.

29
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,840
I figured it was either my sister or my brother

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,480
playing a trick on me, so I turned to look

31
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:55,400
back the way I came, expecting to see one of them,

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,519
and I scanned around looking, but they weren't there. As

33
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:03,400
I turned to my left, still looking for my siblings,

34
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,159
I saw a twenty foot patch of snow with four

35
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:10,360
human shaped footprints in it. It was a little unnerving

36
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,080
to see the footprints because first, whoever made these prints

37
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:18,199
wasn't wearing shoes. It wasn't freezing out, but it was

38
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:21,360
still cold. Walking in the snow would have made it

39
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,599
feel even colder. Second, these prints were huge. I walked

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,680
over and compared them to my boot. They were nearly

41
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:32,719
twice as long as my foot and much wider, and

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,879
the stride was a lot longer than I could have made.

43
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,759
I was still examining the footprints when I heard another

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,639
rock hit the ground, and I turned in the direction

45
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,240
of the sound, and I saw the rock twenty feet

46
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,759
away rolling downhill. This time it was bigger than the first,

47
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:53,479
roughly the size of my fist, and I knew immediately

48
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:57,159
it couldn't have been my brother or sister. I was

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,560
far older and stronger than them, and I doubt I

50
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,919
could have thrown it from any possible hiding spots. I

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,039
then thought it might have been one of my friends

52
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000
who lived close. I knew Tommy was out of town

53
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,439
visiting relatives, and Scotty had been in bed all week

54
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:15,240
with a bad case of the flu. They were the

55
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
only ones who ever came over, so I looked around again.

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,599
Who was throwing rocks at me? The tracks probably should

57
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:26,319
have sent me running home, but I honestly thought someone

58
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,400
was playing a prank on me. My uncle's taught me

59
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:32,479
that tracks made in the snow will expand when they melt,

60
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,639
so I figured it was just a joke. I walked

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560
forward with a lot of confidence. You better knock it off.

62
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:43,919
I'm throw rocks too, I said. Another rock was chucked

63
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:46,840
at me. This time I saw it in mid flight,

64
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
so I knew it was coming from the left corner

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
of the woods near the property line. It was two

66
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,360
hundred feet from me, and I thought, whoever was throwing

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,199
these rocks must have a pretty good arm. Another rock

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,919
landed ten feet to my right. I was getting angry now,

69
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,639
so I walked over and picked it up before it

70
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,919
stopped rolling. It was a little bigger than I would

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,159
have normally wanted to throw, but in my frustration, I

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,919
threw it back. Then I screamed an insult at whoever

73
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,199
this was for good measure. My throw was way off

74
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,639
the mark. It hit the ground well short of the

75
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,720
tree line, so I looked around for another rock to throw.

76
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:29,279
I found a few in the grass between the patches

77
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,720
of snow, so I picked one up that fitted my

78
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:35,079
hand better. This time, it hit a tree just inside

79
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,160
the woodline. Then I saw a movement eighty feet to

80
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,839
my left in the nearest section of trees. It was

81
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:45,120
a lot closer to me than where the rocks were

82
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,800
coming from. I only got a glimpse, maybe four or

83
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:53,399
five seconds at most. Most of it was obscured by

84
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,240
the thick brush and trees. I saw a dark upper

85
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,680
portion of a massive right shoulder blade and a huge

86
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,920
moving arm about seven feet off the ground. Also, I

87
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:08,839
saw what looked like thick legs as it ran behind

88
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,839
a tree. It was completely covered in reddish hair that

89
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,480
bounced as it disappeared into the trees. I was nearly

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,720
awe struck. Its movements were so graceful and fluid. It

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,560
was completely different from how a deer or a human

92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,839
would move. Now I knew immediately it wasn't a bear

93
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,279
or a cougar. It was too large. Both bears and

94
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,879
cougars are extremely rare in Kentucky, and neither of them

95
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,480
throw rocks. I barely had time to register what I

96
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,480
was seeing when another rock landed five feet from me.

97
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:45,920
It came from the same direction as the others. Then

98
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,120
I heard heavy footfalls in the woods from that same direction.

99
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,800
There were definitely more than one of them. To say

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,959
I wasn't terrified would be a bold faced lie. I

101
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,000
knew I had to get out of there. I was

102
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,439
alone and on The nearest house was over half a

103
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,240
mile away, on the other side of the valley and

104
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,759
flanked by thick trees. I knew the elderly couple who

105
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,639
lived there. They were nice people, but they wouldn't have

106
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,279
been able to hear me even if they were outside,

107
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:19,160
which they rarely were. My house was over three quarters

108
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
of a mile away, and my mom and siblings had

109
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,160
been inside watching TV when I left. At that moment,

110
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,959
I forgot all about my girlfriend. Survival was my priority.

111
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:34,240
I wanted to run, but I remembered what my uncles

112
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,879
had told me about predators. Never turn your back on them,

113
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,000
and running will kick in their instinct to chase. Fear

114
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:45,839
turned into anger as I picked up as many rocks

115
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,759
as I could find and started throwing them back towards

116
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,120
the woods as fast as I could. I at least

117
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,560
a string of obscenities and foul language as I did,

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,079
all the while moving backwards a few dozen paces at

119
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:03,560
a time. Years later, during my time in the military,

120
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:08,879
I learned to call that a tactical retreat. More rocks

121
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,199
are being thrown back at me now, and from two

122
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,240
different directions. I switched targets back and forth as I

123
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:18,480
slowly made my way back down the valley. Locked in

124
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,279
combat with an unseen enemy. I was outnumbered and out

125
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:26,680
gun but I kept throwing and moving and cussing and cursing.

126
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:29,759
I doubted the cussing helped me, but it made me

127
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,720
feel braver. It was probably only five minutes before I

128
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:38,199
felt the hill under my feet, but it felt like hours.

129
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:41,879
That meant I was closer to the relative safety of home.

130
00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:45,720
By now, those creatures had stopped throwing rocks at me.

131
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,800
My accuracy had dropped off dramatically by then, anyway, and

132
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:54,040
I scanned the woods once more for movement and listened

133
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:58,680
for sounds. I didn't see or hear anything, and exhausted

134
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,000
and sweating like i'd run a marathon, I took off

135
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,279
my coat and stood there for another five minutes before

136
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,040
I felt it was safe enough to turn and high

137
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:12,560
tailor at home. I didn't tell my mother and siblings

138
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,079
what had happened. I didn't want to scare them. The

139
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,360
next day I told one of my uncles, who brought

140
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,240
his shotgun over and slipped down into the valley with

141
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,480
me to retrace my steps. I showed him the tracks

142
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,480
in the snow. There were huge gouges in the hard

143
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,639
dirt where the rocks and landed. We walked into the

144
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,480
woodline where I had seen the one running. That's where

145
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,000
I compared the size and height of the trees to

146
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,840
the spot where I saw the shoulder and the arm.

147
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:45,000
This thing must have been massive, but we didn't find

148
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,440
any tracks there. We left the area, but not before

149
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,080
I noticed that my uncle was being unusually quiet. After

150
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,519
we got back to the house and well away from

151
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,440
my mom, he told me that he'd had a strange

152
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,360
experience there many years before. My eldest uncle served in Vietnam.

153
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:09,279
He's a quiet man who rarely shows his emotions or

154
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,039
gets upset. When he came home from the war, he

155
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:15,840
couldn't wait to get back into his beloved woods where

156
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,879
he could hunt and fish. And then he finally got

157
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:24,399
the chance, and it was a bittersweet experience. It isn't

158
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,519
an easy transition from life of daily combat back to

159
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,480
a peaceful civilian existence. The woods of Kentucky looked nothing

160
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,279
like the jungles of Southeast Asia, but the oppressive feeling

161
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,639
of the dense vegetation and the limited visibility are similar.

162
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,919
It took him quite a while to get over the

163
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,919
nagging fear of someone waiting behind every bush to kill him.

164
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,720
Slowly he worked his way back to his favorite fishing spots.

165
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,399
Once he was comfortable, he began to hunt again. One

166
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,279
day he was out hunting squirrel alone with his twenty

167
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,000
two rifle. He was also carrying a revolver in his

168
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,799
hip holster. He walked for hours and saw a few

169
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:12,000
squirrels that they were too small to trouble with. When

170
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:16,200
he decided to take a break, he sat down under

171
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,759
a large tree on top of a heavily wooded ridge line.

172
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,000
From there, he had a clear view down into the

173
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,399
nearby holler. He'd been sitting there for about ten minutes

174
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,240
when he saw movement below. He only saw bushes moving,

175
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480
but he suspected it was a deer. It was too

176
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480
early for deer season, but knowing their paths might help

177
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,159
him decide where to build a stand later. He decided

178
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,399
to go down check it out. He got up and

179
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,480
slowly made his way down to the holler. The trees

180
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,600
and underbrush made it impossible to get a clear view

181
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:54,720
of whatever was moving around, but he found a little

182
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,240
path that had made Whatever it was, he knew it

183
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:02,840
wasn't a deer. It looked almost like a small bulldozer

184
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:06,320
had made the path, like six deer had walked inside

185
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,080
by side. He never seen them move that way, and

186
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,440
plus the vegetation looked like it had been smashed aside

187
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,120
and pulled out of the way. He didn't find any tracks,

188
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,039
but it was clear that something heavy had walked through here.

189
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,919
He told me he should have left right then and there,

190
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,000
but he was young and curiosity got the better of him.

191
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:30,720
He moved forward, pondering what kind of critter could make

192
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:34,679
such a path. Was it a bear? No, Black bears

193
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,080
aren't much whiter than a deer. Besides, he'd never seen

194
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,440
a bear in this part of the state. Cougars and

195
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,320
mountain lions came to mind, but he quickly ruled them

196
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,320
out as well. Suddenly there was a loud crash, like

197
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,519
a tree breaking under a great strain, and it echoed

198
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,919
across the haller. Then the woods grew eerily quiet. There

199
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:00,559
were no birds chirping, no bees buzzing, no worlds or

200
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,799
any other animals making any sounds. Alarmed, and reverting back

201
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,960
to his military training, he quickly veered off the trail

202
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:11,679
and hid down among the tall grass on his belly.

203
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,080
He lay there in the silence for several minutes, wondering

204
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,360
if his mind was playing tricks on him. He was

205
00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:21,919
about to move away when he heard a sound that

206
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:25,840
I was familiar with. First, there was a thump several

207
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,320
yards away, and then another one a little closer. He

208
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,559
looked up over the tall grass and he saw a

209
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,960
rock coming in his direction. He crawled away, hoping that

210
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,120
that would throw his attacker off his position, and it

211
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,759
almost worked. The next rock landed farther away, but it

212
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,080
was adjusting for his movement. He decided that this thing

213
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:51,759
must be a human. He couldn't think of anything else

214
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:57,159
in Kentucky that could throw rocks. With his rifle and pistol,

215
00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:00,879
my uncle felt reasonably assured that he was sick, so

216
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:04,600
he stood up and he called out. He doesn't remember

217
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,200
what he said, but it was something to the effect

218
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,320
of asking them not to throw rocks at him, but

219
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,039
no one answered. He then told them that he was armed,

220
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,679
and he expected to get an answer, or at least

221
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:20,919
hear them leave, but he got neither. He began to

222
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:24,240
make his way out of there. Like me, He walked backwards,

223
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:28,320
with his eyes scanning for threats. He moved quickly. It

224
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:31,879
was too late to worry about being quiet. Whatever it was,

225
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,759
it knew exactly where he was. Another rock hit the

226
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:38,840
ground at his feet and bounced into his right leg.

227
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,519
It didn't hurt him. But it startled him greatly. He

228
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,600
didn't lose his cool. He pulled his rifle up and

229
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:50,519
scanned the area in a quick three sixty. He was

230
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,759
still convinced it was people, so he threatened to shoot

231
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:58,360
if another rock was thrown. Well, something moved in the bushes,

232
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,320
but he couldn't see what it was. It had to

233
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,360
be a human. He wasn't prepared to accept any other alternative.

234
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240
He kept backing up and moving his head from side

235
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,879
to side, and then an incredibly loud growl broke the

236
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,480
silence and reverberated through his chest. He said he'd never

237
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,519
heard anything like it before or since. At this point,

238
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:26,679
my uncle knew two things. It was very close, and

239
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,840
it wasn't human. Instinct kicked in. He fired into the bushes,

240
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:36,200
shifted position, chambered another round, and then he fired again.

241
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:40,320
He doubted he hid anything, but he was hoping to

242
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,720
scare it off. And then another rock flew at him.

243
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,399
It landed a little further away than the last, but

244
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,399
that was enough. He turned and bolted for a nearby

245
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,120
grove of trees. It didn't offer much shelter, but it

246
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,919
was better than nothing. He pulled at his pistol and

247
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,240
sat there for maybe an hour, waiting for or another confrontation.

248
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,720
His nerves were on edge. He's not a religious man,

249
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:07,960
but he said he did a lot of praying that day.

250
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:11,559
But nothing more happened, and soon the sounds of the

251
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,720
woods were turned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

252
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,639
He was feeling foolish, and he made his way back

253
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:21,720
to the ridge and looked over the area one more time.

254
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,919
He didn't see anything unusual and gladly went home empty handed.

255
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:31,559
He didn't tell anyone else about his experience for a

256
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,480
long time. He didn't think anyone would believe him. Eventually

257
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:40,720
he told his brother later. He told me. In a way,

258
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:44,039
my uncle and I bonded that day, we both had

259
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:48,200
a strange experience that we couldn't explain. At least, he'd

260
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,480
been armed with throwing rocks back at something that's throwing

261
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,240
rocks at me. Probably wasn't very smart, but it seemed

262
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:59,559
like my best option at the time. Fortunately, neither of

263
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:04,240
us had seen anything. Since, now that I'm older and

264
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,799
perhaps a bit wiser, I don't think that whatever was

265
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,879
throwing rocks at us was trying to hurt us. I

266
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:13,399
think it was warning us to get out of the area.

267
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,679
At least, that's my two cents worth. You can believe

268
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,279
whatever you choose to believe.
