Borgo South Lorenzo, ITL being encounter — October 9, 1984

Caretaker Isidoro Ferri reported a sequence of unusual lights at Villa La Radicchia near Polcanto in October 1984. The catalogue gives October 9 at 3:30 a.m.; one fuller reconstruction describes the night of October 9–10. A powerful light entering his bedroom woke him while his son remained asleep. Across the road, roughly forty metres away, Ferri said he saw a tall humanlike outline with a strong light coming from its head or helmet. He initially considered an ordinary person, such as a poacher. The shape disappeared, replaced by a dark horizontal form and three downward-directed pinkish lights. A much brighter white illumination then advanced toward the villa. He felt unable to move or call out as it approached. When the light withdrew, he regained movement. A red, incandescent-looking sphere appeared and moved away behind the hills. He reported eye irritation afterward. The catalogue compresses these changing phases into a glowing man and luminous sphere; they were not necessarily simultaneous. Carabinieri reportedly found three small circular depressions arranged roughly triangularly, and checks detected no abnormal radiation. Other reports concerned a red light that night, without establishing the humanoid observation. The creature’s facial features, clothing and connection to the changing lights remain unresolved.
