11/2/68 - Dr. X, Location unknown, 4:00AM
| Report Summary | "noticing some flashes outside... clearly saw two large identical disks, perfectly horizontal. The top of each disk was silvery white, while the bottom resembled the color of the setting sun. On top of each object was a tall vertical antenna. On the side of each disk was a shorter, horizontal antenna. A white beam was directed toward the ground below... they had a diameter of 200 ft and were about 50 ft thick. They were 700 feet away from the house... got closer to each other, emitted sparks... eventually merged into a single object... came toward him... the disk made a movement that brought it to a vertical position, and the white beam caught the doctor squarely on the balcony where he was standing. He heard a bang and the object vanished... the whole episode lasted 10 mins... the hematoma disappeared..."[footnote 1] |
| Hynek Classification | CE-II |
| Original Vallee Classification | Type Ia |
| Current Vallee Classification | CE5 |
| Minimum Distance | hundreds of feet |
| Object Appearance | 2 objects of identical description: Disc, orange / red on bottom, white on top, antenna on top and side, projected beam below |
| Object Behavior | Approached house, "merged", rotated 90 degrees (pointing undersurface beam at witness), disappeared with a bang. See the Baden PA report for a similar sequence. |
| Physical Effect | Sound |
| Medical Effect | Healing, recurrent shaped rash (as in the Michalac
case) "experienced abdominal pain... on 11/17 he noticed a curious striated discoloration around his navel. The next day, the area was fully developed as a red triangle whose sides measured about 6 inches.. the same phenomenon recurred in successive years"[footnote 2] Healing of hematoma (instant) and war injury to leg."11/2/84 - Clinical examination: Intense cutaneous erythema, of triangular shape, centered over the umbilicus; absence of visible superficial vessel. "Thermography: Numerous curvilinear hyperthermic areas, spread of the umbilical and bilateral iliac region, corresponding to deep vessels, whose topography can be superimposed to that of the cutaneous erythema, and which are resistant to cooling...11/11/84 - Clinical examination: Cutaneous area has normal aspect, a little more "sunburned" at the level of the visible erythema of 11/2. Thermography: Diffuse, subumbilical hyperthermia, in a patch, corresponding to the usual thermographic appearance of the cutaneous plane."[footnote 3] Initial duration of "rash" was 15 days |
| Comments / Conclusion | This is a very difficult case, complicated by anonymity. Vallee has a very good reputation however, and there are similarities to other cases, including Baden PA, the Michalac case, and the Deputy Goode case. |
