Zanfretta Abductions, 1978 - 1981

Many of the "classic" cases of UFO and entity encounters come from the United States, leading debunkers to dismiss the UFO phenomenon as a creation of the American media. But some of the most fantastic and puzzling abductions occurred in Italy, to a security guard named Piero Fortunato Zanfretta. The abductions were thoroughly documented by his employer, the Italian military police, and a journalist named Rino DiStefano, and yet the details are almost too bizarre to believe. The beings that Zanfretta encountered are unique in the UFO literature, but their behaviours are not entirely unfamiliar in the longer history of anomalous encounters... CORRECTION: Marzano, the location of the first abduction, is not in Lombardy, but in Marzano di Torriglia, near Genoa, in the vale of river Bisagno.
