Faydat Ibn Shaman Humvee bipedal encounter

A former U.S. Army driver reported braking for a bipedal figure directly in front of a Humvee during a desert reconnaissance journey. The figure allegedly turned toward the occupants and fled to the passenger side, where the lieutenant pursued it. The witness also described arriving much later than expected and a subsequent conversation in which the lieutenant recalled the figure. NUFORC investigator James Clarkson published an interview account in 2026. The report explicitly describes no craft. Its approximate June 1991 header conflicts with narrative references to the period before the January 1991 offensive, and its height estimates are inconsistent. CE3 describes the claimed being encounter; missing time alone does not establish abduction. Independent military documentation and a separate published lieutenant account are not supplied. Source: National UFO Reporting Center, report 198988. This account is a report of claimed observations, not independent confirmation. Narrative explicitly describes a claimed being encounter; missing time does not establish abduction. Record notes: Source header and narrative conflict on event date; header retained as an index date only.
