Sesto Florentino, ITL being encounter — February 23, 1978

The Sesto Florentino entry places two people in a car shortly before midnight on February 23, 1978. Its compact source summary describes violet cloud or light, four indistinct figures, and a discrepancy of about twenty minutes affecting one observer’s recollection. It does not provide the figures’ faces, clothing, exact height or a detailed vehicle outline. A later retelling describes a young man and his fiancée. The man allegedly left the car, became enveloped by violet light and returned believing only moments had passed, while his companion said he had been absent for about twenty minutes. This is a reported difference in remembered duration; the consulted material supplies no synchronized clock record or independently demonstrated physical mechanism. The imported bibliography points to Lumières dans la Nuit 207. Later speculative explanations should remain separate from the observational claim. The plate is explicitly source-limited, showing the couple, four unresolved forms and violet phenomenon without constructing a detailed metallic craft or generic grey faces. Their likenesses, positions and the faint outline within the cloud are artistic reconstruction.
