Syracuse. -- "I caught in the beams of the headlights of my car, a little man, dressed in a phosphorescent suit, wearing a sort of diver's helmet on his head and having, instead of arms, something resembling two small wings": such is the declaration made to the carabinieri of Syracuse, by a jeweler, Mr. Salvatore Cianci. His wife, Mrs. Lara Cianci, confirmed this statement. According to Mr. Cianci, who is considered, in Syracuse, by all those who know him, as a "particularly serious and trustworthy" man, the "little phosphorescent man" suddenly disappeared. The apparition took place a week ago when Mr. and Mrs. Cianci were driving through a street on the outskirts of the Sicilian town in their car.
Speaking to journalists, Mr. Salvatore Cianci said: "If someone had told me a story like mine, I would not have believed it at all; however, what I said is only the bare truth."
Another phosphorescent owl?
