Case description

Two people in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, reportedly observed a very large saucer-shaped object during October 1985 at approximately 4:20 a.m. The Hatch digest describes its apparent span by comparison with five houses, rather than supplying a measured diameter or a surveyed distance. The observers were said not to feel afraid, and the entry associates the experience with later visions. It does not describe what those visions contained, how soon they occurred, or whether they were spontaneous recollections, dreams, or material obtained through interviews. The bibliographic trail points to a CUFON network file. The original abstract asks whether abduction occurred. It supplies no direct observation of a taking, an identified missing interval, or an onboard sequence. The inherited CE4 label should therefore be read as a reported possibility within this account. The plate illustrates the large object above a residential setting; its height, exact outline, and the arrangement of the houses are reconstructed.
