Case description

The Bellbrook, Greene County, Ohio listing is dated September 27, 1977. A short humanoid catalogue account attributed to investigator Richard Hoffman says several children saw a large entity in a schoolyard. They reportedly watched it float over a fence. Their names, exact ages, the school’s identity and the time of day are not supplied in the recovered account. The same summary says the children saw a UFO in the area several days later. This is a second observation, rather than a craft explicitly present during the schoolyard episode. Neither an object shape nor an occupant’s face, clothing, colour or precise height is described. A detailed alien portrait or a landed saucer beside the children would therefore go beyond the surviving information. The record is retained as an incomplete report. The concise catalogue text does not provide original interview transcripts, photographs, measured traces or an independently verified explanation. Repetition in later chronologies does not fill those gaps or establish that the entity and later aerial observation had a common cause. Its plate depicts the reported schoolyard setting with an indistinct large figure, explicitly identifying the undocumented appearance and keeping the later UFO sighting separate.
