Case description

During September 1899, a posse southwest of Nogales, Mexico, reportedly encountered a silver, bowl-shaped object. The object was said to follow the posse. One member reported seeing a small humanoid figure wearing a silver suit. The posse’s leader subsequently vanished, an event the catalogue associates with the unusual object and figure. The surviving digest does not describe anyone watching the leader enter the object, nor does it preserve his return or a later account from him. The known sequence consists of the group’s observation, the pursuing silver form, one person’s view of the suited figure and the leader’s disappearance. Names, duration and final outcome are not supplied in the brief entry.
