Monte Musinè encounter

One of two hikers on a mountain near Turin vanished briefly after a bright light and was found in shock with a burn on his leg, describing a craft and strange beings.

1978 CE · 45.11, 7.45 · status: claim

The account

Monte Musinè already had a reputation for mysterious lights. Both hikers later suffered conjunctivitis.

The sceptical view

The account has not been independently documented, and the burn and eye irritation have ordinary possible causes.
