A website says that their babble or murmur sounded like "bla, ble, bli, bla."

SASSELLO (Savona)

"Two circular marks printed on the asphalt".

(Il Secolo XIX 10/9/1978; GdM 94, 11; GdM 96, 16; Notiziario UFO Sept. 1979, 38; report P.Mantero)

COMMENT - The traces of this case were seen by very few people. To note, in any event, the lack of precise information, considering the single information available is, practically, voices.

[Ref. fr1:] FORUM "FANTASTICHE RUGHINE":

1978, September 5 - evening - Carta di Sassello - a workman hears strange sounds coming from the road and sees from his window two black spheres. The objects emit murmurs "like somebody who would speak through a radio". After 6 minutes the spheres take off and go away. The next day on the asphalt 2 circular prints are noticed.

[...Other case...]

1978, September 6 - evening - Sassello - a witness in the street sees two strange "black" things which form a kind of "8" which seems to emit vague whispers, then rise and disappear. The next day, on the site there are 2 circular imprints which are printed in the asphalt. Insuf. data. The data is insufficient.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Sassello, Italy, on September 6, 1978, late in the evening, a local laborer was going to bed at in area rooming house when he heard noises outside. Opening the bedroom curtains he saw two round black "figures" outside, they were close together and appeared to emit a strange dialogue like sound that sounded like a radio. Both figures departed with a great wind leaving circular imprints on the ground. (Robot like beings?)

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Roberto Pinotti, IUR Vol. 4 #3."

Encounters with Aliens on this Day

September 6

1978 - A man on his way to bed in Sassello, Italy heard strange sounds outside his house and looked out his bedroom window. He saw two round black objects sitting in the street. They made sounds like an incomprehensible radio dialogue, e.g. "bla, ble, bli, bla." (Source: International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 15).

[Ref. ud1:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:

The website indicates that on 6 September 1978, at 04:00, in Sassello, Italy, "Ring ground mark. Man going to bed heard strange sounds outside, looked out bedroom window. Saw two round black objects on street. Sounds like incomprehensible radio dialogue, "bla, ble, bli, bla."

And: "Objects were observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. Traces found. Two black round objects were observed by one experienced male witness in a yard for 20 minutes. A 'blablebl' sound was heard."

And: "A local laborer was going to bed at in area rooming house when he heard noises outside. Opening the bedroom curtains he saw two round black "figures" outside, they were close together and appeared to emit a strange dialogue like sound that sounded like a radio. Both figures departed with a great wind leaving circular imprints on the ground. (Robot like beings?)"

Points to consider:

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.
