Vasan entity encounter — Summer 1950

At about 02:00 on a clear summer night in 1950, a man identified only by the initials L. B. was returning home after playing checkers with neighbors near Vasan, Quebec. He followed an isolated rural road when he noticed an intense light beside a nearby farm. Metallic-sounding noises came from the direction of the glow. After hesitating, L. B. approached, initially wondering whether he had stumbled onto a clandestine still or another nighttime human activity. He then heard voices and saw the source of the light. A luminous disc approximately six metres in diameter hovered about a metre and a half above the ground. Near it stood a slim, well-built figure about 1.6 metres tall. The figure wore phosphorescent clothing and a dark leather-like mask covering part of the face, with two openings around the eyes. The first figure spoke several words in an unknown language that reminded the witness of German. Movement beneath the craft then revealed a second figure. This one was shorter, with broad shoulders, an arched back and a larger head covered by a hood. The shorter figure carried a flashlight-like instrument on its belt and pointed it toward L. B. The witness said he immediately became unable to move, although he remained conscious and could hear the figures talking to each other. The hooded figure approached and touched him with fingers he described as deformed or arthritic. It briefly removed its hood, revealing wrinkled skin, two round black eyes at uneven heights and a face that showed little or no movement. It then replaced the hood. The account describes no wound or invasive procedure. The two figures spoke loudly to each other, moved back toward the disc and entered through a small stair or escalator. L. B. then lost consciousness or memory. He did not see the craft depart and did not report travelling inside it. The surviving source is attributed to Jean Ferguson's The Humanoids. The accessible catalogue does not identify a contemporary 1950 newspaper report, police file, named investigator or physical trace. The witness is not publicly named beyond initials, and the location may represent a later or approximate rendering. Those source limitations are substantial. The highly detailed appearance of the two figures may preserve a genuine remembered narrative, but without a near-contemporary record it is difficult to determine when each detail entered the story. The Atlas does not treat the German-like language, paralysis or brief touch as independently established. CE3 reflects the witness's reported close observation of two occupants beside a low object. The blackout is retained as a memory discontinuity, not automatically reclassified as abduction or transport. The portrait reconstructs the moment before the blackout: L. B. stands immobilized while the tall phosphorescent masked figure watches and the shorter hooded figure aims a flashlight-like device, with the luminous disc and small stair behind them. It is an illustrative reconstruction of a late-source report, not documentary evidence.
