Date: July 25 1952

Time: 0300A

Location: San Pietro a Vico Italy

Going to the river Serchio before dawn to fish, Carlo Rossi noticed a strange light on the river, he saw hovering over it a circular object apparently drawing up water through a long tube.

Rossi described it as follows: "I judged its diameter to be 25 metres; a round disk painted black. Along its depth of about 2 metres were oval apertures like mouths. In the centre a small turret protruded 3 metres below the disk and half a metre above it. It was as big as a room transparent like glass of plastic and with a diameter of 5 metres. Inside were visible 4 thin tubes attached to a large cylinder in the centre.

A bluish flame shot with orange passed from one cylinder to another and alternately rose and fell.

The craft had 5 propellers underneath it and these extended about half their length from the black cylinder band or depth around which they were placed at equal intervals. Attached to the upper part of the turret were 3 more propellers, the lowest being the breadth of the disc and the other 2 above it being proportionally smaller."

The only sound it made was a rustle like silk.

A figure pokes it's head out -

Suddenly a porthole opened in the upper part of the turret and a human figure looked out as if searching for someone. The figure pointed at the witness as if indicating his presence to someone inside.

Carlo Rossi threw himself over the ridge of the bank. He saw a green ray projected above him, and felt an electric like shock. Then he saw the UFO depart “at frightful speed.”

2 months later, he encountered there another angler who asked him if he had ever seen any sort of aircraft over the river.
