No. *According to the text* Silk saw *Oreb*. He only doubted himself 
based on the fact that "it made no sense" since Oreb couldn't fly. Then 
he collects a series of other rationalizations.

If none of your theories explains the second Oreb (or the something that 
looked an awful lot like Oreb flying out the window) then they explain 
nothing. It's just a tap dance. But it's fine. I don't care. It is clear 
that your understanding of Wolfe's stories is not useful to me (nor mine 
to you). You are still useful TO ME for fact-checking texts. But after 
the circumstances have been established, I don't know why would even 
read my posts.
