Case description
Two encounters near Swastika, Ontario, were attributed to a watchmaker named Mr Galbraith and assigned to 1948. An early published version appears in Desmond Leslie's introduction to George Adamski's Inside the Space Ships, issued in 1955. Leslie said the account reached him personally. It is a retrospective contact story, rather than a recovered contemporary police statement or an observation with independently fixed dates.
Leslie described two landings, each involving a friendly man collecting soil. In one episode the visitor smiled while Galbraith experienced a force strong enough to flatten grass and set him back on his heels. In the other, a police patrol searching for escaped criminals reportedly noticed a light but could not approach because of an invisible barrier. Leslie did not provide the detailed alien anatomy or a demonstrable scientific explanation for the alleged force.
Later HUMCAT entries distinguish a disc with one humanoid from a cigar-shaped vehicle with three figures. These descriptions and counts do not simply match Leslie's two single-man encounters, so they are preserved as variants rather than merged into a seamless sequence. No independent police record, specimen or authenticated craft image was recovered. The plate illustrates only the disc episode, using an ordinary human-looking soil collector, Galbraith and a minimally specified vessel; portraits, clothing and the clearing remain artistic choices.
