Canonical Classification
This case is linked to the broad craft/species families used by the main catalogue.
Disc / Saucer
Circular, lenticular, saucer, pancake and closely related disc-family craft reports. Individual case morphologies remain separate evidence records under Encounters.
View Family Profile →Diminutive / Little Humanoids
Small humanoid report types, including little-people, dwarf and short suited-figure descriptions, grouped by stature rather than presumed ancestry.
View Family Profile →Reptilian-Like Humanoids
Humanoid reports featuring reptilian, scaled, slit-eyed or lizard-like traits. Named traditions and individual cases remain distinguishable as variants or encounters.
View Family Profile →Distinct / Unclassified Humanoids
Case-specific humanoid morphologies that are too distinctive or too weakly supported to force into another family.

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.
Christchurch Saucer Craft (1944 Report)
Case-specific landed saucer-like object described in a retrospective 1944 Christchurch, New Zealand, account with three small occupants.
Christchurch Transparent-Enclosure Humanoid (1944 Report)
Case-specific pre-saucer-era report of three sub-four-foot beings associated with a landed saucer-like object near Christchurch. Their unusual transparent enclosures and body proportions are kept separate from generic Grey or Little People taxonomy.
Derry Reptilian-Eyed Green Dwarf (1956 Report)
Case-specific entity report from Derry, New Hampshire: a two-foot green figure with lidless reptilian eyes and unusual mammalian-looking facial proportions. It is not merged into the broad Reptilian dossier.
Oregon Glowing-Eyed Giant Humanoid (1952 Report)
Case-specific roadside entity report of an approximately eight-foot heavily built humanoid with a pale face, metallic-mesh clothing and unusually large luminous eyes.
