Can You Believe… • A friend attends a local football game and tells you the next day that they witnessed the kicker, who you know to be a player of very limited ability, kicking a 60 yard field goal. • A family member calls you to the window. They say that they saw a kind of animal that you know does not live in your country or climate zone walking around in your back yard. By the time you look it is gone. • You read a social media post from someone who lives in a remote, dry, desert town in Australia, hundreds of miles from the coast. They report that yesterday a large number of living fish suddenly fell from the sky.
