On November 8, 1975, two people camping near Pepacton Reservoir in New York reported a luminous object descending nearby. They compared its shape with a sled and described hooplike structures over its upper part.
Robotlike or android figures subsequently appeared and kept the campers under threat, an experience described as a siege. The witnesses also reported a period they could not account for.
Their names, the length of that interval and the manner in which the confrontation ended are unspecified. The account contains an approach, a close confrontation with the figures and missing time, but no detailed interior journey.

I Thought I Was Going to Die: Eight Extraordinary Extraterrestrial Encounters
The programme calls this the night of7November1975 and describes the encounter around1a.m.; the Atlas ledger dates it8November. It distinguishes the initial glowing craft from a later floating stretcher-like object; the ledger compresses sled/hoop imagery. Vincent L. and John D.’s Catskill camping account, night November7–8,1975. Bullard cites the same MUFON137 investigation as the imported Pepacton record; the exact reservoir locality remains unconfirmed here. The initial glowing craft and later floating device are distinct. No detailed onboard journey is established.
