Big Lake Stream, ME being encounter — July 4, 1995

The Big Lake Stream entry is a brief report attributed in the Hatch database to Chris Rutkowski's UFOROM material. It places a boy in a boat on July 4, 1995, in a forested part of Maine. The catalogue gives a tentative time around 10 a.m.; the question mark belongs to the source and should not be treated as a precise observation time. According to the short account, the boy initially saw three things resembling ducks. These were then described as silent machines that rose from the river and flew away rapidly. The surviving summary supplies no witness name, interview transcript, measured dimensions, flight duration or detailed description of their construction. It also describes no separate occupants and no larger vehicle from which the objects emerged. The catalogue's robotic or probe-related indexing is an interpretation of those few reported details, not evidence that a sampling operation was observed. No such action appears in the available account. The plate therefore shows the boy, his boat and three small unresolved ducklike forms above the water. Their material, scale and contours are illustrative approximations; identifying them as extraterrestrial devices would go beyond the record.
