Railway Lines and Quarries Disproportionately Associated with ABC Sightings. Disproportionate number of ABC sightings close to and on railway lines, used and disused In Leicester, approximately 70% of sightings on or near railways In Lancashire and Cornwall, proportion can be even higher
In Leicester, ~70% of ABC sightings occur on/near railway lines. At Ketton in 1999, officials—including the Leicester & Rutland Ramblers Association chairman—encountered a black panther at just 10 ft in bright sunlight. A cast paw print showed retracted claws, trilobed heel—not dog tracks. High-security explosives storage makes stray dogs unlikely.
