Night of 6–7 December 1978; repeated claims through 1981 / T134
Pier Fortunato Zanfretta: immediate alarm, then a series of alleged contacts
Marzano di Torriglia and later locations near Genoa, Liguria
Witness account
Zanfretta reported a frightening being and departing object while working as a security guard. Colleagues found him distressed. Later episodes and hypnosis expanded the story into repeated abductions and contact.
Public record
Di Stefano separates the immediate radio alarm and next-day investigation from subsequent regression. His early account discusses four episodes; the mature series is often described as eleven through 1981.
