Case description

An unnamed professional reportedly stopped his car near Visinale, in the Pasiano di Pordenone area, late on 19 May 1995. The fuller account places the sighting around 23:15, while Hatch rounds the time to 23:20. Ahead of him was a metallic, spinning-top-shaped object with a transparent section. The imported abstract estimates a diameter of three metres and a hovering height of eighty centimetres. Through the transparent portion the witness claimed to see as many as twenty-five short humanoids standing together. Albert Rosales's account, attributed to Dario Bortolini in ITUFOR, describes approximately four-foot figures with elongated heads, cropped dark hair and conspicuous pointed ears. Their eyes and noses looked normal, their mouths appeared to smile, and their arms were long with large hands. These particulars differ markedly from a bald, black-eyed grey stereotype. The object reportedly departed after several minutes. Other moving lights were said to have been seen in the area that evening, but the summary does not connect those observers to the claimed occupants. CUN's regional chronology also lists the event and questions whether it belongs to contactee material; that question is not a demonstrated hoax finding. No named witness interview, photograph or measurement establishes the crowded interior or its dimensions. The source calls the occupants unclothed; the plate confines visibility to heads and shoulders above an opaque hull. This preserves their reported facial distinctions without supplying an unsupported interior mechanism or anatomical display.
