On the public record, and still open. A claim, paper, or film — not a finding that it was ours, and not a finding that it was not.

Detailed APRO report by Walter Webb describes the honeycomb globe, oval window, and wrinkled humanoid with large eyes; witness sought help at nearby house in panic.

What was claimed

While driving home from work, masseuse Lyndia Morel observed a glowing orange-gold honeycomb-patterned globe with an oval window containing a wrinkled humanoid figure that appeared to communicate telepathically. The object followed her car, causing distress until she reached a house for help. Investigated by APRO consultants Walter Webb and Betty Hill with detailed interviews.

What is on the record

This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.

Shortly after 2:45 a.m. on November 2, 1973, Lyndia Morel left her job as a masseuse in Manchester, New Hampshire, had coffee with a friend, and began driving home toward Goffstown on Route 114. She first noticed a bright flashing light that changed colors. As she continued, the object approached, revealing itself as an orange-gold globe covered in a hexagonal honeycomb pattern with a distinct oval window. Inside the window she clearly saw a smallish humanoid figure with a grayish wrinkled face, slit-like downturned mouth, and large dark-pupiled eyes. The figure seemed to be standing at a console. Morel felt the object was exerting control over her car and mind, sending a telepathic message not to be afraid. Terrified, she accelerated past Westlawn Cemetery and pulled into the first driveway, pounding on the door of the Beaudoin residence while covering her ears from a high-pitched sound. The couple who answered found her in extreme distress. The case was thoroughly documented through multiple interviews by APRO investigators, including astronomer Walter Webb, who produced a detailed report confirming the witness's sincerity and consistency.

Could this have been ours?

The known sky, that night.

Satellites were already up. The station was not. Starlink was not.

Always

Aircraft, balloons, meteors

Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.

The known sky

None of the above land

Stations, trains, and planets do not set down in a field or leave a body. This file is a ground report. The known sky still has to be named. It does not answer the claim.

Orbit · Space — the desks for lights that are already named.
