UFO... Contact from Reticulum: A Report of the Investigation

CLAIM-110001 · Reported Craft Appearance

“In the foreword, Stevens summarizes Herrmann's recurring Charleston craft as a circular metallic disc with a shiny silver surface, an orange corona visible even in daylight, a low curved upper dome, and on one version three protrusions beneath the nearly flat underside that were interpreted as possible landing gear.”

CLAIM-110002 · Reported Craft Appearance

“Herrmann later described the repeatedly observed Charleston object as a bright silver metallic disc approximately 60 to 70 feet in diameter, commonly seen around 800 to 1,000 feet above the B's Ferry and Ashley River area and repeatedly flying a triangular pattern.”

CLAIM-110003 · Reported Craft Appearance

“In his January 22, 1978 narrative, Herrmann described a bright silver disc with an extended central upper dome, a highly polished clean-looking surface, no visible windows or portholes, no audible noise, and a brightness that could dim into an orange-and-silver metallic appearance.”

CLAIM-110004 · Reported Craft Appearance

“For the April 4, 1980 photographed object, Herrmann described a 40-to-50-foot silvery metallic disc with pronounced upper and lower domes, a faint orangish corona, counter-clockwise rotation around a vertical axis, no visible markings, ports or windows, a smooth seamless brushed-looking surface, and almost soundless flight.”

CLAIM-110005 · Technology & Spacecraft

“In Herrmann's March 18, 1978 account, the disc reportedly approached to within roughly 10 to 15 feet and a tubular aquamarine or blue-silver light extended downward from its underside; he said he could move his hands through the light while marsh reeds moved despite his feeling no wind.”

CLAIM-110006 · Technology & Spacecraft

“In the book's “The Alien Beings” appendix, Stevens states that Herrmann was told the craft's erratic triangular maneuvers were used to evade radar lock-on and that a sufficiently long lock could interfere with the onboard computer/control system. This is an occupant-attributed technical claim, not independently established performance data.”

CLAIM-110007 · Technology & Spacecraft

“Material presented by the book as a received “Network” communication claims that the vehicles are capable of interstellar and inter-atmospheric travel, that Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli form a claimed source region about 32 light-years away, and that Earth atmospheric flight makes use of the magnetosphere. These are source-attributed claims rather than verified engineering facts.”

CLAIM-110008 · Physical Characteristics

“During his onboard narrative, Herrmann described three humanoid crew members as hairless and very pale/white-skinned, with narrow slanted eyes that he characterized as “Oriental”-looking, relatively frail-looking bodies, and an impression of physical strength greater than their builds suggested.”

CLAIM-110009 · Physical Characteristics

“Herrmann later described the crew's reddish-rust, suede-like clothing as seamless-looking one-piece jumpsuits with no visible buttons, zippers, pockets or belts and with footwear integrated into the garment; the escort alone reportedly wore a small silver disc emblem etched with a winged-serpent or bird-like figure.”

CLAIM-110010 · Physical Characteristics

“On a later reported encounter, Herrmann said the beings had no fingernails and that their slender fingers could extend and retract, giving a shortened or apparently webbed appearance when retracted; the finger tips curved slightly upward, while the thumbs did not appear to share the extension behavior.”

CLAIM-110011 · Reported Entity Behavior

“Herrmann reported hearing speech without seeing the beings' mouths move. He described the sound as surrounding him “in stereo” and later considered a translating device more plausible than ordinary vocal speech; the book does not establish the mechanism.”

CLAIM-110012 · Dimensional Capacity

“A communication reproduced in the book identifies Zeta 1 Reticuli and Zeta 2 Reticuli as the “two-fold” claimed source of origin, approximately 32 light-years away. The archive records this as a claimed origin from the source, not as an astronomical identification established by independent evidence.”

CLAIM-110013 · Reported Entity Behavior

“The book presents a “Network” communication describing the Reticulians as devoted to interstellar research and life analysis and claiming that observational vehicles were established around Earth for geodesy, aeronomy, biological observation and direct-observation programs. This is retained as attributed message content rather than factual mission history.”

CLAIM-110014 · Physical Characteristics

“In the later “The Alien Beings” appendix, Stevens compares Herrmann's reported occupants with an alleged recovered 4-foot-3-inch body described as gray-white and hairless, with a proportionately large head and eyes, a very small nose and ears, a slit-like mouth, and long unusual fingers. This is an authorial comparison to a separate alleged recovery, not a direct measurement or examination of Herrmann's crew.”

CLAIM-400001 · ufo contact from reticulum wendelle stevens willia Observation
