Two local youngsters reported that while sleeping on the grassy slopes of Monte Berici they suddenly noticed the total lack of animal noises in the area. Then everything became extremely quiet. Soon they heard a sort of modulated scraping metallic sound. Then they heard the sounds of something moving in the forest, they looked towards the sound and noticed two dark gleaming eyes staring at them. The girl became frightened and covered herself with a blanket, the boy then saw what appeared to be a large form, like a white-silvery blanket approaching from a nearby hill, it was a meter in height and it approached to within 50 cm of the girl, apparently looking down on her with two large red-colored metallic eyes. Attempting to protect her the boy jumped in front of the girl. At that point the bizarre robotic creature seemed to shrink up within itself then apparently disappeared into the woods. Others in the area reported hearing loud noises resembling a helicopter coming from the woods.
