Founding case · Cumberland County · Witness age at time: ~16 · Reported 12 years later
A teenage witness in a boat on a small body of water near Camp Hill, PA observed a humanoid entity on shore interacting with the environment. The entity entered the water and produced zero displacement — no ripple, no splash, no wake — despite obvious mass and speed. The witness was approximately 50-100 feet from shore. The witness stayed silent for 12 years.
Entity entered water with no ripple, no splash, and no wake despite obvious mass and speed of entry. The water showed no indication anything had entered it.
No sound reported despite the entity's size and movement.
"Not a scuba diver." The witness proactively eliminated the most likely mundane explanation before anyone could suggest it. This is a strong authenticity marker — it means the witness anticipated skepticism and addressed it unprompted.
The witness did not report this to anyone for approximately 12 years. Hoaxers seek attention. This witness absorbed social cost for over a decade.
Decades later, when David Icke's reptilian conspiracy theories became mainstream, the witness explicitly rejected that description: "That's not what they look like." The witness could have adopted the cultural narrative for validation. Instead, they corrected it. They also added: "That was fucking scary."
The witness never wrote a book, appeared on a show, started a channel, or monetized this experience in any way.
All four environmental markers present: water + granite + electromagnetic infrastructure + magnetic variation. This combination is the core thesis prediction for encounter locations.
The late 1960s and 1970s saw a documented surge of anomalous reports across central and western Pennsylvania within a roughly 90-mile radius of the Three Mile Island construction site. Reports included bipedal creatures, pale humanoids, luminous objects, and other unclassified phenomena. TMI construction (1968-1978) created unprecedented electromagnetic fields in the region. Whether this correlation is meaningful or coincidental is exactly what this database is designed to test.
This case is presented as the founding entry in the database. The witness is anonymized. No identifying details beyond approximate age, general location, and decade are included. If you experienced something similar in this region or timeframe, your report would help establish whether patterns exist.
