East Hampstead, NH being encounter — February 1990

In February 1990, a twenty-nine-year-old East Hampstead man and his girlfriend reportedly awoke to reddish light outside their bedroom. Through a rear window, he described a large circular object twenty feet away, hovering five feet above the ground. Donald Ware summarized the case in the May 1992 MUFON UFO Journal, naming Charles Gallella as investigator. The man could not turn the bedroom doorknob. He tried a side-window handle, discovered broken the next morning, then hid in a closet. When his girlfriend warned that something was entering, he emerged and saw a short, heavily built figure beside her: blue-grey, with a large head and eyes, broad nose and large mouth. He said the figure took his hand, reassured him, tilted its head and smiled. His next recollection was the following morning. His girlfriend reportedly remembered nothing, and he subsequently reported a recurring rash. The case log says hypnosis was being considered; it presents no completed regression or remembered journey aboard the object. This is an alleged bedroom encounter and memory gap, without a demonstrated taking. The brief summary supplies no laboratory result connecting the rash or broken handle to the reported visitor.
