Incident date:

Location: 
Стурно AV
Italy

Two College students, Rocco Cerullo and Michael Giovanelli, were walking from Sturno to Frigento when they saw three red lanterns arranged symmetrically in the middle of a Bush overhanging the road, and heard an intermittent "beep-beep"sound.

As they passed the quarry, they saw a figure more than two meters tall, dressed in a silver skin-tight jumpsuit and helmet. Two orange lights blinked where the eyes should have been.

The witnesses fled back to Sturno, where they found three other friends, and returned by car. All five of them saw the strange creature coming and going with mechanical movements down the steep slope. It seemed to be standing at an angle perpendicular to the slope.

The car drove into an abandoned quarry that seemed to be lit up like a halo, they got scared and raced back to Sturno, returning with two more witnesses.

The humanoid was still there, coming and going with intermittent light emanating from its helmet. When one of the parties illuminated the figure with a flashlight, it made sounds similar to" radio signals", approached the car, and the sounds stopped.

He came no closer than fifteen feet (4.5 m) and beckoned for witnesses to follow.

Finally, at about 03: 30, he emitted a blinding light from his helmet and disappeared. Further down the slope, I could see the outline of an object with portholes. After the outbreak, people ran back to the village, and when they returned, everything was gone.

The next day, trampled bushes were found, and in the quarry 3 pits located in an isosceles triangle.

Time: midnight
Two college students, Rocco Cerullo, and Michael Giovanelli, were walking from Sturno to Frigento when they saw three red lights symmetrically arranged in the midst of shrubbery overhanging the road, and heard an intermittent “beep-beep” sound. Walking on near a quarry, they saw a figure over two meters tall wearing a silvery close fitting coverall and a helmet. Where the eyes should be were two blinking orange lights. The witnesses fled back to Sturno, where they found three other friends, and returned in a car. All five saw the strange being advancing and withdrawing, with mechanical movements, on a steep slope. It seemed to stand at an angle, perpendicular to the slope. The car was not driven into the abandoned quarry, which appeared to be lighted as if by a halo, they became frightened and sped back to Sturno, returning with two more witnesses; the humanoid was still there, coming and going with emissions of intermittent light from its helmet. When one of the parties flashed a light on the figure, it emitted sounds like “radio signals” it approached the car and the sounds ceased. It came no closer than 15 feet, and beckoned, as though for the witnesses to follow. Finally, at about 0330A, it emitted a blinding light from its helmet and disappeared. The outline of an object with portholes had been seen further down the slope. After the flash, the men fled back to the village, when they again returned, everything was gone. Next day trampled bushes were found, and in the quarry 3 holes arranged in an isosceles triangle.
