Franklin entity encounter — February 15, 1981

Barbara Warmoth of Franklin, Ohio, reportedly woke at about 2 a.m. on February 15, 1981, as a brilliant white light filled her bedroom. Looking through the window, she saw a hovering disc-shaped object nearby. This is the consciously remembered opening of the account preserved by NICAP and subsequent catalogues. The more elaborate encounter emerged under hypnosis. She recalled being taken aboard for about ten to fifteen minutes by several humanoids approximately seven feet tall, with pointed chins and yellow catlike eyes. INTCAT attributes the narrative to Brad Steiger's 1988 book and records a claim about a planet called Antares. Such statements remain part of the reported recollection, not independently established information about the beings' origin. The retrieved summaries do not identify a verified recording, hypnotist's protocol or objective event chronology. Warmoth is also associated with a separate highway encounter dated August 19, 1981, containing additional descriptions and actions. Those later details should not be silently transferred to the February bedroom episode. In particular, the initial light and disc observation should be distinguished from the hypnosis-derived boarding and occupants. The reconstruction explicitly labels a contextual composite, showing the woman, reported disc and representative recalled figures together without asserting she consciously saw those figures outside her window or depicting an invasive examination.
