The Harrah close encounter case is one of the strangest child-witness humanoid reports in Pacific Northwest UFO history. Usually dated to 19 January 1977 near Harrah, Washington, the case became notable because nine-year-old José Cantu claimed to see two small greenish beings and two steely craft at his family home, after which adults reportedly found unusual marks in the yard and investigators linked the event to the broader recurring-light activity on and around the Yakama Reservation.

The reports became notable because investigators treated the area near Toppenish as a long-term observation zone, documenting repeated nocturnal lights, occasional daytime objects, law-enforcement witness claims, and later competing explanations ranging from genuine anomalies to geophysical earthlight effects.
