What the record resolves
The record carries a garment, a helmet or an enclosure. The body inside it is not described.
Black turtlenecks with white bands, black skull caps, black trousers with a white side stripe. The file records no skin colour, no eyes and no hair: what it resolves is an outfit.
The record
An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

What is not settled
The file records the witness as a balanced person of good mental health yet concludes he suffered a hallucination followed by delusion. Single witness, no physical trace of the craft.
