Case description

The surviving NICAP chronology entry for Jamestown, Tennessee, dated May 20, 1976, records one witness and uses the abbreviated classification C1. Its only source pointer is EGBA, page494. The short listing supplies no observer’s name, time of day, exact site or description of what was seen. The imported entity category therefore cannot be used as a substitute for an actual description of a being. Searches of the public chronology and related humanoid catalogues did not recover a fuller, securely matching account. The listing does not establish a landed craft, an occupant, a conversation, missing time, unusual marks or an investigation’s findings. Reports from other places named Jamestown, including later Australian experiences, concern different dates and locations and are not evidence for this Tennessee entry. This remains a source-limited historical report whose existence in a catalogue is clearer than its underlying circumstances. Keeping it in the atlas preserves the date and locality while making that gap visible. Its plate is a contextual landscape of the Jamestown area, rather than an invented encounter: no named witness, alien anatomy or spacecraft is supplied where the recovered source provides none. A future recovery of the cited account would be needed to replace this limited description with a reliable event sequence.
