Lecce (Italy) — February 20, 1963 (1730)
A young man saw from a window a slowly spinning object, almost stationary, 500 m away. It appeared as a disk having a central upper dome, with a total diameter of 3 m. The object had a brilliant yellow-red halo, but its dome was much more brilliant. The witness observed it through binoculars, reported seeing a “particle” leave the object, after which it stopped spinning, gained altitude with a vertical shift- ing, and left toward the northeast.
