Case description

An unnamed young woman in North Bay, Ontario, reportedly noticed a small moving figure while letting her cat outdoors around 06:00 on 9 October 1975. HUMCAT entry 75-32 traces the account to the North Bay Nugget of 11 October 1975, supplied through researcher John B. Musgrave. The catalogue places the observation at the edge of an ordinary residential street rather than at a reported landing site. The figure was estimated at about 1.05 metres tall and seemed to run in slow motion, with its feet barely touching the sidewalk. A white sparkling trail followed it. Those are the main descriptive features retained in the recovered summary. It does not give a securely documented face, eye shape, skin colour, helmet or suit. The glowing trail should therefore not be used to infer metallic clothing or a standard Grey alien body. Some later summaries mention other local sightings, but the available entry does not establish a coordinated group of observers watching this particular event. No craft, physical trace, exchange of words or abduction is described. The original newspaper is cited through the catalogue rather than reproduced as a complete witness interview here. The reconstruction shows the woman, cat and a small unresolved runner, with the trail visibly separate from the ordinary surroundings; its detailed residential setting and portraits are illustrative.
