West / Arcadia, FL being encounter — October 19, 1987

The surviving catalogue entry places this report west of Arcadia, Florida, on 19 October 1987. An unnamed woman reportedly saw a saucer associated in the précis with a bridge, and perceived beings through a window in the object. It was a daytime observation. Although the ledger displays 12:00, the original condensed wording explicitly says that the daytime hour was unknown; noon should therefore be understood as an imprecise database value. The entry does not give the woman's route, the bridge's name, the object's distance or the number of figures. Nor does it supply their height, faces, clothing or movements. No conversation, landing, approach by the beings, boarding or missing-time sequence appears in the recovered text. The record supports the limited claim of a woman observing a saucer and apparent occupants through a window, without a more elaborate encounter narrative. Hatch cites Timothy Good's The UFO Report 1990, page 200, as the source. The complete cited account was not recovered during this research, so its missing details remain open. Even the bridge shorthand leaves the exact viewing relationship uncertain. The plate uses a contextual Florida road bridge and representative silhouettes, with the unknown hour and limited documentation stated plainly. These artistic choices should not be read as additional witness testimony or confirmation of an extraterrestrial vehicle.
