Mantell+Zanfretta, alla ricerca della cultura saurica nel 2008 e nel 1918

Dei precedenti avvistamenti che non e' chiaro se siano Foo Fighters oppure UFO discoidali da lontano, ancorche' molto interessanti e' difficile valutare il grado di realta' ufologica.

DECISAMENTE migliore avvistamento del 1965 UFO a doppio piatto di tipo saurico e' certamente questo

in cui si parla di forma a fungo di metallo e rossastro-arancione con sprazzi blu. Colore e forma sono concordi ed il caso e' reale in quanto citato anche nel blue book


UFO Hovering Over Field Stalls Cars
Jan. 23, 1965
Lightfoot, N. of Williamsburg, Virginia

Brad Sparks:
Jan. 23, 1965; Lightfoot, N of Williamsburg, Virginia (BBU 9242)
8:40 a.m. Cars stalled near intersection of US Hwy 60 and State Route 614, witness T. F. Mains saw light-bulb or mushroom-shaped object 75-80 ft tall, 10-25 ft wide, metallic gray, red-orange and blue glows, hovering over nearby field about 4 ft off the ground, making a vacuum cleaner-type noise, suddenly accelerate horizontally to the W against the wind and disappear. (25-seconds, 2 witnesses). (UFOE II, Section VIII; Berliner; cf. Hynek UFO Rpt pp. 177-8; Vallée Magonia 633)

Fran Ridge:
Interesting that this incident was listed in the Blue Book files as Unidentified. Investigation shows duration of 25 seconds with two witnesses in separate cars, both stalled. (See BB docs below). The latest update is from Mike Swords and a letter to Richard Hall from a witness.

Martin Shough:
This is an extremely interesting case and, as far as one can tell from the file, it feels pretty solid. Ignoring the car stallings (which is not so easily done, given two vehicles) about the only thing that seems half-way plausible is a hot-air balloon (shape, lift-off, near horizontal motion, colour, light, noise like a vaccuum cleaner). But the departure direction is west, which would be into the wind (about WSW according to the file). Very curious! What a shame we don't have the police report from the second witness.
