Near Toledo, OR being encounter — March 1972

The imported entry dates the Reeves-family episode near Toledo, Oregon, to March 1972, but the better-documented narrative belongs to March–October 1966. Dan Lloyd discussed it in Flying Saucer Review in 1967, and Michael Swords explicitly dates it to 1966 in International UFO Reporter 31/2. Fifteen-year-old Kathleen Reeves and a friend initially thought a neighboring field was on fire. The reddish glow appeared dome-shaped, with a smoky quality. After Kathleen threw a stone toward a smaller light she suspected was a prank, larger lights reportedly appeared around it, and the girls fled. During subsequent months, the family reported high-pitched whirring or sawing noises, rosy illumination inside the house, and small rings of light moving across bedroom walls. Kathleen’s mother Evelyn described a briefly visible, translucent red cloud near a doorway. Visitors also watched some of the light effects. Separate reports concerned moving stump-like forms outside and unusual aerial lights; these should not be combined into one simultaneous encounter. Swords treats the household manifestations as a difficult lights phenomenon rather than demonstrating identifiable alien visitors. A reported observation by a sheriff’s deputy adds another aerial account, not independent confirmation of every domestic event. The date discrepancy and separation of episodes are essential to interpreting the catalogue’s compressed wording.
