Torrita di Siena, Italy
An orange domed disc landed ahead of a car, which stalled out, and illuminated the area with light beams. This was followed by a humanoid encounter. After it departed physical traces were found.
An orange domed disc, about 10 feet across, was observed by two witnesses on a road during a 16-minute close encounter (Boscagli, R; Faralli, R). Two 3.5-foot-tall dwarves, each wearing a green suit and helmet with antennae, floated out of the disc, circled the car, and then re-entered the disc. The craft took off with a flash of light and explosion-like sound. Catena 5 scorch marks were found on the road, as well as angel hair. Physiological effects were noted.
