National Guard training-exercise witness whose 1993 three-subject sighting has an unusually useful longitudinal source trail.
The encounter occurred during a military training exercise. Later decades of research involvement are retained as an exposure/control variable, not a credibility score.
Only public, encounter-relevant background is shown.
During a National Guard training exercise, Neiss reported observing three large dark bipedal figures. His 2007 public account already contains much of the morphology repeated in later interviews.

Retrospective interview is already loosely referenced in canonical appearances but lacks a structured media record.
The recovered 2007 account describes three dark bipeds, with the central figure larger than the two flanking figures, no visible neck, broad shoulders and long arms.
Neiss reports that Sgt. Jeff Martin independently asked whether he had seen three large hair-covered figures. Martin's own statement has not yet been recovered.
