The flying discs continue their saraband in the skies over the peninsula and, in Capri, one of these mysterious craft landed on the terrace of the villa of writer Curzio Malaparte.
It was a painter, Mr. Raffaele Castello, who, during a nighttime walk at Cap Massullo, saw an enormous disc about five meters in diameter, flying at approximately one hundred meters altitude. The craft descended slowly and landed on the terrace of the writer's villa.
Mr. Castello, who at first thought it was a helicopter, approached the summer residence of Curzio Malaparte, and was greatly surprised to see four small men emerge from the disc. The passengers of the craft, who were wearing suits, stayed around the disc for about half an hour. "I had the impression," said the witness of this landing, "that they weren't speaking - or if they were, they spoke very quietly, because from where I was standing, I couldn't hear any sound. What is certain is that bluish lights were constantly emanating from the disc, like lightning-fast pins shooting out in all directions."
After some time - about half an hour - the four men re-entered the disc, which, with a slight humming sound, rose gently, vertically, and then rapidly gained altitude.
