Howard entity encounter — September 20, 1972

The surviving Howard entry gives September 20, 1972, an Indiana locality and the surname Eastman. It classifies the item as a humanoid report, but explicitly says that no details are available. The NICAP chronology cites a source abbreviated EGBA, page 673. The accessible abstract does not establish a first name, age, occupation or precise observation site. There is therefore no reported encounter sequence to expand responsibly. The wording does not say what the figure looked like, how many figures were involved, whether it moved, whether anyone spoke to it or how the observation ended. It also does not describe an aerial object. An entity label alone cannot supply a craft, a landing, physical contact or a taking aboard. The Atlas preserves this as a provisional catalogue reference so that the original source can eventually be recovered and compared. Its descriptive limits are part of the record rather than evidence for or against an extraordinary interpretation. The illustration consequently uses a clearly marked research context, without turning a generic Indiana landscape into an asserted encounter site or assigning Eastman an invented portrait. A full statement or the cited source page is needed before more specific claims can be attached.
