Case description

The NICAP chronology places a peculiar light and small bedroom figure in Texas on 5 September 1966. The brief Magonia-derived entry describes a civilian man who saw the figure appear to enter a bedroom and did not see it again. A linked Hatch digest calls him a father of four, which describes the family rather than establishing four observers of the figure. An expanded HUMCAT-derived version identifies the witness as Mr. Morrison at Harlingen. In that telling he was propped up in bed when a person about three-and-a-half to four feet tall, wearing close-fitting white clothing, entered his son's bedroom. Approximately ten minutes later he saw a bar of light apparently breaking apart. His wife and sons reportedly saw the light bar but had not seen the person enter. Those are different observations by different family members, not a single uniformly witnessed encounter. The expanded accounts cite HUMCAT case 1966-40 and USAF Blue Book files; the underlying complete case file remains to be matched to this sparse imported entry. No detailed face, resolved craft, physical transport or abduction sequence is supplied by the sources used here. The illustration follows the reported white clothing without inventing alien anatomy and labels the figure and later light bar as a temporal composite. The conservative Texas caption retains the uncertainty over the precise locality.
