CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH E.M. EFFECTS IN ORBASSANO
A clamor was raised all over Italy because of the mysterious object sighted
by a night watchman in Orbassano (Turin), in the early hours of Saturday,
28 September.
According to the deposition given to Carabinieri policemen by the witness who
called them, the appearance of the UFO phenomenon was preceded by control
monitors in the surveillance cabin failing, at the same time that the
electronic-controlled gate opened by itself in the truck rest-area.
The time was 4:27 a.m., and the young man went outside to investigate what was
going on. As he returned to his cabin, he felt something akin to a slight
breeze,
which was accompanied by a whistling noise. He then found himself enshrouded
in a beam of light emanating from above. Also, above a streetlamp he saw a
luminous disc approximately 3 meters in diameter rotating on itself, which
streaked
out of sight after a few seconds, as if swallowed up by the sky.
The witness awakened a truck driver who was asleep in his truck in the rest
area,
but this man hadn't noticed a thing. In the cabin, the monitor came back
on. The
frightened watchman then telephoned the Carabinieri and, still shaken when
the patrol
squad on duty arrived, recounted everything that had transpired. He
proceeded to
repeat everything in a further deposition, which took place that Sunday at
their barracks.
