Case description
A catalogue account dated 20 March 1977 places an unnamed married couple in sleeping bags beside the ocean at Pebble Beach, California. They reportedly watched a luminous disc approach from offshore. The woman remembered tall, mouthless figures communicating without audible speech and displaying a book. The fuller chronology describes a flat, streamlined black craft and a beam that apparently brought the couple aboard.
Her account gives the beings thin, delicate bodies, heights of approximately six and a half to seven feet, hairless heads and unusually long fingers. Their shiny black eyes were rounded toward the nose and did not blink. They wore close-fitting, one-piece garments compared to wetsuits. The interior appeared brightly white and warm, while a table felt very cold. She also described restraints, instruments and a buzzing sound. The summary does not establish a separate, comparably detailed account from her husband.
NICAP traces the story through Albert Rosales to a special issue of the WBS Newsletter. The woman was said to have earlier close encounters, but the accessible entry does not establish how each recollection was elicited. These claims should therefore remain attributed memories, with neither a documented hypnosis procedure nor independent physical confirmation assumed.
