Verona, ITL being encounter — June 26, 1962

Roberto Poregozzo, aged twenty, his mother Maria and his twenty-five-year-old sister Luisa reportedly watched a silvery disc manoeuvre over Verona near the church of Santa Anastasia on June 26, 1962. The object appeared roughly the angular diameter of the Moon and remained under observation for about an hour before the family went home. Around 3 a.m., one family member reportedly awoke feeling unusually cold and noticed a greenish light. A sharply outlined but semi-transparent humanlike figure was visible at the window, distinguished by an enormous bald head. A scream woke the others, who also reportedly saw it shrink and disappear. Its disappearance was compared with the collapse of an image when a television is switched off; the story does not describe a figure appearing on a television screen. Vallée’s Magonia entry cites Flying Saucer Review in 1963. Later summaries vary in spelling the surname and identifying the initially awakened witness, sometimes naming Luisa. The earlier sky observation and later window apparition are distinct phases, with no witnessed passage between them. Their association belongs to the family’s account rather than independent evidence that the apparition came from the disc. The plate combines the phases only with an explicit composite label.
