Hobart, Tasm abduction report — December 1996

Two separate reports from Hobart, Tasmania, concern young children calling for their parents during the early hours of nights in December 1996. The Hatch digest summarizes them together and gives approximately 2 a.m., but supplies no exact dates. Albert Rosales's catalogue, citing Keith Basterfield, distinguishes the accounts. One child described a white figure trying to take him upward through the roof. The other described a thin figure with large eyes and an attempt to take him up through a light. In the second report, the child's mother said that she saw a flash in the home's corridor. These are separate observations by different reporters, not one continuously witnessed event. No UFO was seen in the available summaries. The attempted upward movement is part of the children's reported experience; the accounts do not establish an exterior craft or completed transport. The illustration remains a reconstruction of a nighttime domestic report and does not supply missing testimony about what happened beyond the room.
