Yellowstone Not Plotted On Maps, WY cigar-shaped object report — October 1976

During October 1976, a man at an unspecified location in the Yellowstone area of Wyoming reported unusual lights at night. He deliberately flashed Morse-code signals toward them, making his attempt to communicate part of the account’s opening sequence. An object described as cylindrical or disc-like then became visible. The encounter was subsequently associated with a period of missing time. The brief historical summary does not preserve the content of the Morse message, a corresponding coded reply or a description of visible occupants. The account’s remembered course therefore moves from the lights and the man’s signalling to the closer object and an unexplained interval. The exact site, duration and intervening events are not supplied.
