Case description

On the night catalogued as March 11, 1978, three women camping in New Zealand’s Waimata Valley reportedly experienced a gap of about two hours. The approximate time attached to the entry is 11 p.m. Two of the women later underwent hypnotic sessions in which an abduction account was described. At the stage represented by the source digest, the third woman had not yet completed that process. The entry therefore combines an initial missing-time report with later recollections from only two participants. Their names, the detailed content of those sessions and the route back to the campsite are not preserved in this short account. Other Waimata Valley encounters were reported in different years.
