What the record resolves
The record carries a face, a head, eyes, skin, hands or proportions.
The file's own words: human-like, silver-suited, no neck, and eyes that protruded extensively. A third entity it calls a robot for lack of a better description.
On that description this archive reads the form as Other morphology. That is a reading of recorded words, not the record classifying itself.
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
Blue Book's conclusion box reads Other (PSYCHOLOGICAL): the encounter with beings was attributed to psychological causes. Single witness, no corroboration, the recovered arrow was never shown to be anomalous.
