Reported Craft Behavior

HOW TO READ THIS
CLAIM-137167reported
The witnesses called the first/largest cylinder a “mothership” as it rose while unusual fog appeared to lift with it; ANOMALY records the observation without asserting a physical fog-control mechanism.

CLAIM-137169disputed
Eight hypnosis sessions between December 1975 and March 1976 produced the abduction narrative; ANOMALY keeps that layer distinct from the conscious cylinder/disc observations.

CLAIM-137170disputed
The mushroom-headed, three-webbed-finger humanoid description appears only in the hypnosis section, so Batch 7 intentionally does not create an entity dossier from it.

CLAIM-137171disputed
The entry also recounts later “men in black” style visitor stories, but these are kept out of the physical craft/entity taxonomy for this batch.
