Case description

Albert Rosales’s catalogue records a brief report from Upshur County, West Virginia, in November 1994, at approximately 06:00. Two unnamed observers reportedly saw a black, insect-like humanoid with a head they compared to an ant’s. It ran into woods, and an unpleasant odour resembling skunk spray was reported. The entry cites West Virginia UFO News and says similar encounters occurred locally around the same period. It supplies no details that would establish those other reports as independent observations of this figure. No craft, arrival from the sky, communication, pursuit by the witnesses or physical trace is described. The county location should not be mistaken for “western Virginia, ” as an imported region label suggests. The original witness identities, exact date, viewing distance, duration, lighting and detailed anatomy remain unestablished in the accessible summary. An insect comparison does not justify adding extra limbs, wings, antennae or elaborate mandibles. The plate therefore uses two representative adult observers and a dark humanoid with only a restrained ant-like head outline near a woodland edge. Its clothing, precise form and landscape are contextual artistic choices, rather than recovered biological details.
