Case description

Two people described as IBM programmers reportedly experienced an unusual episode near Peekskill, New York, during August 1958. The catalogue places its beginning at about 3:30 a.m. but preserves neither a precise day nor the participants’ names. The brief account describes a taking lasting approximately thirty-six hours and the collection of reproductive samples. It also records that the witnesses became frightened by equipment resembling tape drives. It does not explain the equipment’s appearance or operation, or establish why the witnesses associated it with familiar computer machinery. The surviving entry gives no detailed route into or out of the reported encounter, no complete description of the occupants, and no separate account of the witnesses’ return. Those parts of the chronology remain unspecified rather than supplied from another abduction story.
