The 16-year-old witness was returning from his girlfriend's house in heavy rain when he suddenly heard a very loud voice "talking nonsense" around him. It was so loud that the witness thought it should Wake everyone in the village, and compared it to a radio host.

The volume rose and fell, as if the voice was blown away by the wind. The words, however, were indistinguishable, and in about five seconds he was gone.

The witness then continued walking, and after about 50 meters through a forest gate to his right, he noticed a cylindrical column of white light. This vertical beam appeared to be located on the monastery grounds and was about 200 meters away, appearing to be 3 to 3.5 meters high and 2 meters in diameter. It seemed solid and well-defined. 

Exactly where the witness saw the beam, there is a high cross about two meters high, but from the position of the witness, only its top was visible because of the foliage and a small Bank covering everything else. However, the lower part of the beam was visible as if it reached the bottom of the cross. 

Then the witness got the impression that something hit the beam, he got scared and ran home, watching the beam for about 5 seconds.

Summary: The 16-year old witness was returning from his girlfriend’s house under a heavy rain when suddenly he heard a very loud voice “talking nonsensically” all around him; this was so loud that witness thought it must wake everyone in the village and he compared it to that of a radio newsreader. The volume intensity rose and fell as though the voice was being blown on the wind; words however could not be distinguished and it faded away after about five seconds. The witness then continued walking, and about 50 meters further on he noticed, through a wooded gate to his right, a cylindrical column of white light. This vertical beam appeared to be in the grounds of a convent and was an estimated 200 meters away, seemingly 3 to 3 1/2 meters high and 2 meters in diameter; it appeared to be solid and sharply defined. At the precise point where the witness considered the beam to be, there is a tall cross about 2 meters high, but from the witness’ position, only its top could be seen due to foliage and a small bank obscuring the rest. The bottom of the beam, however, was visible, just as if it were reaching the bottom of the cross. The witness then had the impression that something was in the beam, became scared and ran home, having watched the beam for about 5 seconds.
