Background
At 11:45 p.m. a couple heard interference on their car radio in Sesto Fiorentino, Florence. When the man got out to investigate, a warm violet light enveloped him, and he saw four shapes and lights all around. After walking around the car he got back in and found his girlfriend crying. Twenty minutes of missing time had passed. Paolo Fiorino, Gian Paolo Grassino and Antonio Chiumiento listed the case in their 1989 survey of abductions in Italy in the International UFO Reporter. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
