Coram, MT being encounter — February 1974

During an early-February night, Leona Neilson reportedly noticed a bright light shining into her bedroom near Coram, Montana. The fuller HUMCAT account dates the incident to 1970, at approximately 1 a.m., whereas the imported catalogue assigns February 1974. The earlier date is also used in Rosales's expanded account. These versions appear to describe the same woman, snowy setting, two figures and unusual sparks, so the year discrepancy should remain explicit. Looking outside, Neilson described a long shape resting on snow, with a dome and a broad platform or rim around it. Large multicolored sparks appeared to fly from the rim across the river. Two humanlike men moved around the platform, apparently occupied with something near the dome. The expanded description gives ordinary human proportions, bare heads and snowsuit-like clothing. Neilson called a friend, who watched with her for roughly half an hour. The sparks stopped, the object went dark and it was no longer visible. HUMCAT cites two witness letters published in Canadian UFO Report and reproduced in Skylook 92 in July 1975, listing no investigator. Apparent work near a dome does not establish mechanical repairs. The disappearance after the light went out also need not imply a visibly observed departure, and no specific alien anatomy was described.
