The Mysterious and Bizarre Zanfretta Abductions in Italy (1978-1981)
Many of the "classic" cases of UFO and entity encounters come from the United States, leading debunkers to dismiss the UFO phenomenon as a creation of the American media. But some of the most fantastic and puzzling abductions occurred in Italy, to a security guard named Piero Fortunato Zanfretta.
The abductions were thoroughly documented by his employer, the Italian military police, and a journalist named Rino DiStefano, and yet the details are almost too bizarre to believe. The beings that Zanfretta encountered are unique in the UFO literature, but their behaviours are not entirely unfamiliar in the longer history of anomalous encounters.
I would suggest that many anomalous encounters are one's consciousness experiencing a "different type of space" - that is part of our overall potential of consciousness but rarely experienced (obviously). Much of it..IMO...actualized by localized belief sets that start the experiencer down the slippery slope of now and real.
