What was reported
Kelly Cahill and her husband, driving home in the early hours, said they saw a large lit craft hovering over the road, and she later described being abducted by its occupants and reported marks on her body. She contacted researcher Bill Chalker on 4 October 1993, and investigators said four people in two other cars had shared parts of the experience. Those witnesses never came forward publicly, no detailed report was ever released, and the account rests on Cahill's own testimony.
