Melaria Porto Nogaro
Italy

The witness was fishing on the Corno river when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle followed by some spiraling movement of the air behind him, causing ripples in the water and sending the surrounding Bush flying. The wind increased, and the witness decided to climb the nearest embankment and look around.

When he reached the top of the embankment, he noticed a metal disk shaped like an object lying on the nearby dry mud plain. The object stood on three thick legs that ended in flat plates on the ground. The object was completely smooth, and the metal looked like brass. 

Then a figure appeared, walking along the edge of the disk. He was described as a short man with an Oriental appearance, dressed in a silver skin-tight jumpsuit that sparkled in the sun. He also wore dark shoes. He had a dark bronze face and large almond-shaped eyes. 

The humanoid looked surprised to see the witness, then quickly circled the rim, briefly leaning over and touching something on the dome, then disappeared behind the dome. 

Moments later, the witness heard a loud rumbling sound and saw the object slowly rise up, emitting a bluish flame from below, then it turned to the edge and flew away at high speed. 

Ground tracks were found at the scene.
