Newspapers of the area, among other sightings reported there, reportedly told that on September 6, 1978, in the evening, in Sassello, Liguria, Italy, a wrking man going to bed, reportedly saw from a behind a window of his residence two strange black things which formed a kind of "8", or two black spheres, which seemed to emit vague whispers, or a babble souding like it came through a radio set speaker. A website says that their babble or murmur sounded like "bla, ble, bli, bla."
These things allegedly "rose" and "disappeared."
The next day, on the site, two circular marks printed in asphalt were reportedly found.
The case entered in a catalogue of "humanoid encounters" which talks of "figures" for the black things or spheres, says that they dialogued, and that they "departed with a great wind."

The report is so poorly documented that it is not even possible to say whether the man allegedly saw two spherical extraterrestrial beings babbling, or two spherical UFOs without occupants while hearing a the babbling.
It should be noted that there was a significant number of reports in this area in the previous days; this might have lead to this report by a man perhaps simply uncertain of what he had seen, whereas there may be a misidentification there. As sources seem to be newspapers, the quality of information does not exist.
