Foltz, a former Navy submariner, was one of four art students who report a missing-time encounter while canoeing on Maine's Allagash Waterway in August 1976. He describes signalling the object with a flashlight and later regression sessions. He also reports a 1970 shipboard sighting. The case rests on the witnesses' accounts and hypnotic recall.
