After hearing a commotion outside their farmhouse, 3 University students after an investigation discovered the presence of a figure "like a monk in a shroud" "hovering" about 15 feet (4.5 m) from the door. 

Terry, who saw the figure first, called Phil and Greg, his co-tenants, and they all saw the figure "a white thing like a monk's robe, and something like a void on the face" floating in a slight arc. 

Greg made a sudden movement, and the figure disappeared in a flash, which the other two thought rushed toward Greg and "entered him" at chest level. 

Terry and Phil looked around for a moment and then saw Greg in a state of shock, unable to articulate anything other than to indicate that he "felt sick inside." They took him in the house. 

They soon returned to the street to look around. Greg was still in his "obsessive" state when a horse, one of Greg's favorites, ran up. 

He put his arm around the animal's neck, and the other two saw the flash again, this time leaving Greg and the figure entering the horse, which reared up and started to run. With Greg, everything was in order. 

The investigator in this case observed a UFO at the University of New England camp, just a few miles away, on the same day, the area was the site of increased UFO activity in late 1972 and in 1973.

Hearing noises outside their farmhouse, 3 anonymous university students discovered, upon investigating, the presence of a figure “like a monk in a shroud” “hovering” about 15 feet from the door. Terry, who saw the figure first, called Phil and Greg, his co-tenants, and they all observed the figure—“a white thing like a monk’s robe and just this sort of void for a face”—floating about in a light arc. Greg made a sudden move, and the figure disappeared in a flash, which the other two thought shot toward Greg and “entered him” at chest height. Terry and Phil looked around for a moment and then saw Greg in a state of shock; unable to articulate other than to indicate he felt “sick inside.” They took him in the house. A short time later they went back outside to look around; Greg was still in his “possessed” state then a horse trotted up, one of Greg’s favorites. He threw his arms around the animal’s neck and the other two again saw the flash, this time leaving Greg and entering the horse, which reared and bolted. Greg was apparently all right. The investigator of this case had a UFO sighting on the campsite of the University of New England, only a few miles away, on the same day, the area was the site of increased UFO activity later in 1972 and into 1973.
