50 or 60 meters from the object when he
saw two beings who appeared to be making repairs on it. They resembled “normal” men and wore no helmets. Both
wore what looked like aviator’s overalls.
The witness thought that they were pilots
of an experimental aircraft belonging to
the Allies or the Germans. Because of
this, the witness returned slowly to the
woods and resumed his work there.
Meanwhile, the hissing sound ceased.

the fact that “flying saucer” stories were already popular in
the media for some decades and, consequently, the witness

BORDANO (Udine) - On a late-summer day, 12-year-old boy Armando Picco
was upstairs in his home watching lightning strikes outside. Just as the rain
ended, he heard a very piercing hissing noise seemingly originating from
above. At first very faint, the hissing became so loud that the boy had to

of a house nearby, about 50 meters away. There was a “little man” inside the
