The Encounter

Giovanni Cavazio is a wine grower who was hang gliding over an area when he noticed something unusual in the sky. The object was about 2,000 meters away and became harder to define as he got closer. It hovered like a helicopter but was not one. It emitted a strong light and had a dome-like shape with three or four objects hanging from its sides. The diameter was between five and ten meters. The object moved away quickly and silently, disappearing over the horizon. Giovanni initially kept the experience to himself but later learned that a friend had also seen something unusual in the sky. This encounter did not have a lasting impact on him, as he did not discuss it with his family at first.
