[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Casale, Italy, in the middle of December 1978, at night, a man driving his car saw a very tall and luminous human-like figure standing on the roadway. As the witness approached the figure suddenly vanished in plain sight. It apparently caused damaged to nearby trees and a field as it left the area. No other information.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Chris Aubeck, Return to Magonia."

Points to consider:
