Sharpsville entity encounter — June 1971

The surviving Sharpsville entry is unusually sparse. It places a reported humanoid observation at Sharpsville, Indiana, during June 1971, and gives the witness’s surname as King. No specific day, time, street, property or witness first name is preserved in the abstract. The surname is retained as supplied, without expanding it into a speculative identity. The source does not describe the alleged figure’s height, face, clothing, movement or interaction with the witness. It does not establish that a craft was seen, that the figure arrived or departed in one, or that anyone experienced missing time. Accordingly, the catalogue’s humanoid classification is a description of how the report was filed, rather than a recoverable encounter narrative. Other Indiana creature stories cannot safely be joined to this entry solely because their locations or dates resemble it. NICAP’s sequential listing cites “EGBA, 680,” but the brief entry provides no underlying interview, contemporaneous quotation or physical evidence to assess. This record remains provisional and source-limited. Its plate therefore shows only an illustrative central-Indiana setting for the stated month and year. It does not supply an invented witness, humanoid or vehicle, and the pictured countryside must not be mistaken for an identified encounter site.
