Science Questions

On night when I was in Italy on holiday, a bright light appeared. I turned around and saw a big round thing and it was so close it looked like I could have touched it. It hovered where I was standing and had lights from what looked like little windows. It then disappeared as quickly as it had come. I have a friend who saw it too. There was no sound. I didn't report it because people at breakfast the next day laughed at me, but it was definitely a craft. Rose

(Nick) This is a fascinating account. What is particularly spectacular about your sighting is that you can describe the craft well. Most of the cases we see are vague, or just blurry lights.
