Case description

An account assigned only to 1950 describes an unnamed farming couple near Anthony, Kansas, being awakened at approximately 2:10 a.m. by bright light outside their window. They reportedly went into the yard and saw a large glowing triangular object hovering above their barn. A smaller object separated from it and was said to descend behind the building. No exact date, farm address or identifying names are provided in the accessible summary. The husband approached the barn to investigate while his wife remained behind. Her reported experience then diverged from his: a human-shaped figure made entirely of light appeared roughly ten feet from her. She said she could neither move nor speak. The figure reportedly reassured her, presented itself as a messenger and conveyed knowledge and predictions. The surviving extract does not set out those predictions, so no later event can responsibly be offered as their fulfilment. The catalogue cites Bill Caulfield in International UFO Library Magazine, volume 2. A contemporaneous statement, independent verification of the luminous figure, and a documented investigation were not recovered. The husband's movement toward the barn does not establish that he witnessed his wife's encounter, and the smaller object's hidden landing is not a directly described inspection of it on the ground. The plate keeps the couple in their distinct positions, includes the reported triangle and luminous figure, and leaves the obscured smaller object behind the barn.
