In 2014 Jason Colavito posted an article about the earliest origins of the anal probe phenomenon in UFO lore:
http://www.jasoncolavito.com/aliens-and-anal-probes.html
Colavito traced the specific connection between actual abduction reports and anal probes back to Barney Hill's abduction claims from 1961. However, Hill's anal probe claims weren't mentioned until the hypnosis sessions in early 1964 and those sessions' mention of anal probing being first reported in 1965. Colavito notes that the first mention of probing in the 1964 hypnosis sessions occurred mere days / weeks after such probing was portrayed in episodes of both The Outer Limits and Twilight Zone.
There don't seem to have been any documented accounts of anal probing from the mid-Sixties until Strieber cited it in 1987. A number of abductees came forward to claim probing experiences from the Sixties onward (not all of them anal) in the wake of Strieber's Communion. However, these claims of earlier probing emerged only after Strieber popularized the anal probe trope and hadn't been mentioned prior to that.
