Maruis Dewilde was walking his dog along the railroad tracks at night near Valenciennes, France, when he saw a dark mass sitting on the roadbed. Not far from the craft were two small, wide-shouldered creatures who wore huge helmets. Dewilde wanted to walk over to them, but a bright light from the craft paralyzed him. The creatures hurried back to the craft, there was a loud whistling sound, and the object lifted into the night sky. Later examination showed depressions in the railroad ties that suggested a craft weighing 30 tons had been standing there.

David was bicycling when he felt a tingling all over his body. He stopped and got off his bike as his headlight went out. In front of him he saw the dark shape of a craft about 10 feet long and 3 feet high. David, the tingling having spread through his body and paralyzed him, watched as a small silhouette moved away from the craft.

including military and civilian pilots and high-ranking government officials, watched a cigar-shaped craft maneuver over the city. More importantly, the object was tracked on radar. Here was just the sort of case that skeptics often demanded, yet because it happened in Italy, it has remained virtually unknown in this country. Unfortunately, the Rome incident was neither a landing-trace case nor an occupant sighting report. Like most UFO sightings, it was just a report of a strange craft seen in the sky. Despite the added corroboration of radar tracking, this was essentially just a sighting report.

Four children saw a bright glow from a nearby cemetery. Approaching, they saw an object about 8 feet in diameter standing on three legs. A small creature carrying a bright light exited the craft.
