Sighting Time:

 

Day/Night:

 

Location: Cennina, Italy

 

Urban or Rural: -

 

Entity Type: two little men 3 ft tall

 

Entity Description: About 1 metre in height, they were wearing a sort of grey overall, all in one piece, including the feet. On their backs they had short cloaks of a grey material, and over the one-piece overall they wore a sort of doublet, fastened, right up to the collar, with little buttons “like shining stars.” Their trousers were tightly-fitting, “like the long underpants that our men wear in the winter.”

 

Their faces, crowned by helmets, were normal, but small. Both were no taller than a five-year-old infant, but their bodies were in proportion. “It would have taken two of those things to make a man,” she said, “but they were very fine looking, even though rather old.”

On the lower cone there was an open glass door, and inside it could be seen two little seats, little scats like those used by children. In the central part of the spindle, where it was widest, there was a sort of roundish glass, closely following the round shape of the mysterious machine. Rosa Lotti had heard no sound from it.”

Summary/Description: Rosa Lotti was walking into Cennina, when she perceived a big vertical spindle, “like 2 cones joined at their bases.” From behind this craft emerged two little men 3 ft tall, who approached her with friendly expressions, the older one laughing. They were speaking a language that sounded like Chinese, ‘liu, lai, loi.” Approaching Lotti, they snatched from her the carnations and one of her stockings. Lotti ran away. A deep hole in the ground was later found at the site.
