1939, PENTELIKON MOUNTAIN, ATTICA, GREECE, A MAN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Folklorist Angeliki Tseva apparently indicated that at an unknown date that must have taken place before World War 2, in the Pentelikon Mountain, Attica, Greece, a man went to Katsoulerthi site to collect resin from the pine trees. He went very early in the morning, so he decided to take a nap on the site until dawn. Not long after that, he was awaken by a strange lullaby. Then he saw in front of him a very tall naked "man".

The man was wearing a huge hat, shaped like a mushroom. The witness stood up and the man went away screaming, and vanished into the pine forest.

Narratives:

[Ref. tv1:] THANASSIS VEMBOS:

The Greek ufologist indicates that at an unknown date that must have taken place before WW2, in the Pentelikon Mountain, Attica, A man went to Katsoulerthi site to collect resin from the pine trees. He went very early in the morning, so as he reached the site he decided to take a nap until dawn. Not long after that, he was awaken by a strange lullaby. Then he saw in front of him a very tall naked "man".

The "man" was wearing a huge hat, shaped like a mushroom. The witness stood up and the "man" went away screaming and vanished into the pine forest.

The source is indicated: "folkloriste Angeliki Tseva."

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Pentelikon Mountain, Greece, in 1939, in the morning, a man went to Katsoulerthi site to collect resin from the pine trees. He went very early in the morning, so as he reached the site, he decide to take a nap until dawn. Not long after that, he was awakened by a strange lullaby. Then he saw in front of him a very tall naked "man." The "man" was wearing a huge hat, shaped like a mushroom. The witness stood up and the "man" went away screaming and vanished into the pine forest.

The source is indicated as "Folklorist Angeliki Tseva".

Points to consider:

The entity is described as a man and there is no real strangeness in the event. It was perhaps some mental patient on the loose. No UFO is seen and the relationship with UFO matters is less than obvious.
