We pick up the thread in John’s ongoing investigation of Jaye Paro. This time, she claims to have been visited by a certain Colonel John Lewis Dalton, who questioned her about UFOs and asked her to fill out a long questionnaire. Meanwhile, Princess Moon Owl is calling up contactees. As usual, John takes notes on it all, with increasing exasperation, adding, “So things are getting more and more involved.”
Mothman’s first official sighting took place fifty years ago, on November 15, 1966. On that night, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette reported that they saw a large winged creature in the TNT area in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, touching off a very peculiar year indeed.
