Case description

The NICAP catalogue dates this Longmont, Colorado, report to November 19, 1980. It describes a blue beam surrounding a car, a swishing sound, and the vehicle being lifted. Those elements form the opening phase of the reported experience. The associated Hatch digest continues with movement toward a domed disc, a cloud-like setting, an electrical or ozone-like smell, and later accounts of examinations and wounds. The bibliographic trail includes Richard Hall's The UFO Evidence II and International UFO Reporter. A larger case compilation refers to the travelers by the names Michael and Mary. The imported entries do not establish a complete return sequence or explain the recollection method for every stage. The illustration therefore concentrates on the blue-lit car rather than depicting an invented medical interior. Its car model, mountain horizon, cloud arrangement, and detailed spacecraft outline are artistic reconstruction choices.
