Case description

Rex Snow and his wife were awakened by a brushing sound against their Goffstown house on November 4, 1973. In David Webb’s catalogue, drawing on Raymond Fowler’s investigation, Snow looked into the backyard and saw two self-luminous figures about sixty feet away. They were estimated at four and a half to five feet tall and wore silver coveralls and silver boots with upturned toes. Their reported features were unusually specific: oversized pointed ears, dark egg-shaped eyeholes and large noses, apparently enclosed by the silver covering. One held a flashlight-like instrument while the other collected things from the ground and put them in a silver bag. Their movements were slow and deliberate. Snow sent the family’s trained guard dog toward them; it stopped roughly thirty feet away, lunged without advancing, and returned to the kitchen whining. Webb reproduced a witness-based drawing of the pair. He also recorded that Snow had seen a silver saucer-shaped object about five hours earlier. That earlier sighting is a separate phase: no craft was reported beside the figures during the yard encounter. The case should also be distinguished from Lyndia Morel’s nearby November 2 encounter. The surviving narrative establishes what Snow reported, rather than independent confirmation of the beings or a demonstrated connection to a craft.
