Sighting Description: Quattro persone che stavano facendo una gita in barca su di un piccolo motoscafo, mentre erano fermi al largo con il motore spento, videro improvvisamente che stava aumentando il moto ondoso. Temendo che si trattasse di una petroliera, si alzarono e notarono a circa un chilometro da loro il mare che si rigonfiava come una grossa bolla, mentre lunghe ondate si allargavano a cerchio. Dopo pochi secondi i quattro testimoni videro che dal centro della bolla stava emergendo un oggetto con la parte inferiore simile ad un piatto rovesciato e quella superiore che terminava a cono. Nell’uscire dall’acqua l’oggetto sembrava respingere l’acqua stessa come se vi fosse un cuscino d’aria. Subito dopo essere emerso completamente, l’oggetto si fermò per alcuni secondi nell’aria a circa 10 metri di quota e, dopo alcuni ondeggiamenti, si formò un alone attorno alla base e si allontanò velocemente e con traiettoria obliqua rispetto alla superficie del mare, scomparendo a nord-est.

Sighting Description: While they were stopped offshore, four people who were taking a ride on a small motorboat noticed that suddenly the waves were getting bigger. Fearing that it was an oil tanker, they stood up and noticed that about a kilometer away, the sea was swelling like a big bubble, while large waves were widening in a circle. A few seconds later, the four witnesses saw that from the center of the bubble was emerging an object whose lower part was similar to an upside-down plate and the upper part was shaped like a cone. As it was emerging from the water, the object seemed to push back the water as if there was a cushion of air. After it had emerged completely, the object stopped for a few seconds in the air at about 10 meters above the surface. After some swaying, a halo formed around the base, and the object rapidly departed following a trajectory oblique to the sea surface, disappearing towards the north-east.

The Italian Scene-Part 4 by Gordon W. Creighton

The literature of our subject is full of references to UFOs that are seen to enter the sea or to emerge from it. An Italian paper recently published a photograph of a huge disc above the sea off the coast of Brazil. The Brazilian doctor who had taken the picture said that a moment later the disc slipped silently into the sea. Similarly, passengers on a ship crossing the North Sea two or three years ago saw a large "submarine" type of craft plunge into the water. Here, then, is the third report, which was sent to the Turin Study Centre by a Signor Giacomo Barra, of 9 Via Fratelli Canepa, Savona:

"I went out in a motorboat with Giuseppe Pordoi, businessman, Filippo Marin, office employee, and Silvano Guardinfante, owner of the boat. When quite a good distance out to sea, we shut off the engine and sat there chatting and enjoying the morning breeze. It was 6:35 a.m. on June 3, 1961.

"Suddenly the rocking motion of the waves increased, and the boat began to roll badly. We looked around, thinking it must be due to the proximity of one of the many tankers that put into our port. But nothing of the sort. At a distance of a kilometre from us, the surface of the sea was bulging like an enormous ball, with long billows going out from it on all sides. Dumbfounded, we were still wondering what it was when, suddenly, a strange contraption rose up from the bulge of water. Perhaps it was one of the celebrated 'flying saucers,' for the lower part of it looked like a plate upside down, and the upper part ended in a cone. While it was emerging from the sea, the water was thrust away all round it, as by a cushion of air. After it had emerged completely from the sea, it stopped still for a few seconds, at a height of 10 metres or so, and then rocked slightly a few times. Then a halo formed round the base of it, and the thing shot away very fast across the sea and vanished towards the north-west."
