sections that flew away in different directions. It made a

black and white. Both emitted a humming sound and a
flickering fire through an opening. The boy's father warned
him to stay away as Rivalino walked toward the objects,
praying. When he was 2 m away, the two spheres merged into
one, raising dust from the ground and spreading a yellow
mist that enveloped the man. The boy ran after his father,
noting that the cloud had "an acrid smell. " As it

was surrounded by a glow, and left at high speed very
suddenly. "Delivery driver Ronald Wildman was taking a new
car to Swansea when he encountered a white, oval-shaped
object with square black marks at regular intervals around
the rim. [He] estimated that the object was 20 or 30 feet
above the ground and at least 40 feet in diameter. Within 20
yards of the object, the power of the car changed and the
speed was reduced to 20 mph. The accelerator had no effect,
but while the engine lost revolutions, the headlights
remained normal. The object, which was silent, stayed ahead
of the car then started to come lower. After about two
hundred yards, a white haze like a halo appeared around the
object as it veered away at speed, at the same time brushing
particles of frost from the tree tops on to the car's
windscreen." (BUFORA Vehicle Interference Catalog)

object, and both disappeared together at the horizon.
• Italy, Verona: For about one hour, 20-year-old Roberto

by a feeling of intense cold and perceived a greenish light
in the room. In the window a sharply defined human shape,

and vanish "like a TV image when one turns off the set. "

rose, and took off toward the southwest.

down toward the Oradell reservoir. Three young men saw and
heard the object as it touched the water. Another witness

surrounded with a glow, the apparent size of a small plane 1
km away. It left toward the south.
