Account

The witness and a companion went squirrel hunting in a wooded area early on a Saturday morning. After firing into a squirrel nest, they heard an extremely loud roar twice that seemed to shake the woods. They saw nothing, ran out of the woods past agitated cows at a nearby farm, and did not stop until reaching the witness's house.
