Case description

During September 1973, two people in a car near Belle Fourche, South Dakota, reported an encounter with a large globe-shaped object. The summary does not identify the travellers or provide a precise day and time. The car and nearby globe form the first scene retained in the source. The pair subsequently described approximately two hours that they could not account for. A more elaborate taking experience was later recalled through regression. The digest calls that later account unusual, but does not preserve its detailed sequence, the appearance of occupants or any specific dialogue. The case’s chronology thus distinguishes the original observation and missing interval from the later recovered account. The surviving entry does not give the route afterwards, how the pair first noticed the time discrepancy, or the original regression-session record.
