These granular records retain the original morphology, evidence status and source provenance for this encounter. They are intentionally not separate top-level catalogue shapes/species.
Reticulian / Herrmann-Reported Humanoid
Report-defined entity morphology derived primarily from William J. Herrmann's Charleston contact narrative: small, hairless, very pale humanoids with narrow/slanted eyes, unusual hands, one-piece clothing, and atypical communication behavior. “Reticulian” preserves the source's claimed origin and is not treated as established taxonomy or origin.
