Exeter entity encounter — August 9, 1973

The August 9, 1973 Exeter entry concerns a father and son traveling along a main highway in daylight. They reportedly noticed an unidentified object on the ground beside the road, with a tall humanoid figure standing close to it. The brief account says that they continued driving rather than stopping to inspect the scene. This is a passing observation, with no preserved conversation, approach or entry into the object. The reviewed summary supplies no names, measured viewing distance, detailed craft shape, facial features or clothing description for the figure. Tall is a relative impression, not a documented height measurement. The source therefore supports a reported roadside object-and-figure association, while leaving most of the features needed for a close visual reconstruction unspecified. The catalogue attributes the case to David Webb's 1973: Year of the Humanoids, with a source reference to investigator John Oswald and a Skylook item. It should be kept separate from the better known 1965 Exeter night sightings involving Norman Muscarello and police officers. Those accounts cannot supply missing witnesses, vehicle details or craft geometry for this 1973 event. The plate is deliberately labeled source-limited: a father and son watch from a passing car, while an indistinct tall figure stands by an unresolved landed form. Their ages, likenesses, the vehicle and roadside layout are illustrative.
