概要
Water Appears Inside a Sealed Cistern: The Ramsey Ranch Mystery

Dry West Texas should not hold eight hundred gallons beneath a welded steel plate-yet on February 4, 2009 a sealed cistern bowing four inches upward revealed cold, clear water standing fourteen inches from the rim. How did water reappear inside an eight-foot-deep concrete cylinder that had been sealed since 1991, in the middle of one of the worst droughts in a generation?

In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events on the morning Curtis Cook returned a bolt cutter and found fresh water stains, what Curtis Ramsey saw when he pried the weld loose, and how two independent technical experts later called the situation "impossible." What hidden record from 1968 and what twist of timing finally explain the Ramsey ranch cistern?
