Case description

On the evening of July 8, 1971, a witness at a farm near Chesterfield, Indiana, reportedly watched an unusual object from an upstairs bedroom. The catalogue describes a central body with an encircling rim, compared to the planet Saturn, accompanied by a high-frequency whine. The entry says that the witness lost consciousness and associates the case with missing time and an abduction interpretation. It also refers back to a similar object reported at the farm on May 16. That cross-reference is evidence of a reported series, not permission to merge the two dates into a single sequence. The source trail leads to the Worley files through NICAP's chronological listing. The brief abstract does not supply an onboard account or a documented recovery sequence. The plate depicts the bedroom observation before the reported blackout; the farmhouse layout, distance, and detailed appearance of the object are reconstructed.
