Incident date: 
1968

остров Паксос
Greece

In March or April, the author of the original material received the following email from a man whose aunt saw a flying saucer in 1968:

"Recently, my aunt, who is almost 80... she told me a story she encountered when she was younger. In fact, I was really curious why my beloved aunt had never talked about this before.

Her homeland is a small island ... remote from the mainland, and, as you understand, the population there is mostly superstitious and, like most Greeks, deeply religious.

Anyway... She was walking to the olive grove from her house to meet my uncle... this was normal because it happened around 1968... Walk a long distance until you reach your destination on Paxos, a small island of NE Greece.

So she went through the olive grove along the path. It was late in the evening and it was dark when she felt something above her. She raised her head to the sky and saw a flying saucepan (as she described it)... without sound and very bright, like the sun, without rays. She just stayed there, watching him move slowly... Yes, this is what we call a "UFO" today... and this "frying pan" was moving up the hill in an olive grove... silently, in an area called "Romanatika". "Who could believe her?

The next day, the village women gathered after work to gossip, as is usually the case in small societies, and they talked about a neighbor who is often drunk and mocks him because last night his family discovered that he had fainted in the street. land...

When he came home, he was sick with fever and other symptoms that I don't remember when she was in some kind of delirium and talked about a flying frying pan... He had memory loss for a day.

While other women were bullying him, my aunt said he witnessed it and the man wasn't drunk as usual. The man finally recovered, but for the rest of his life because of this he had serious health problems and never fully recovered. As far as I know, he died of lung cancer."

Thanks again. Kolovos Stefanos

Original news

Date: Late 1960s
Location: Island of Paxos, Northeast of Greece

I received the following e-mail either in March or April from a person whose aunt had witnessed a flying saucer in 1968:

"Recently my aunt, nearly 80...told me a story she encountered when she was younger. Actually, I was really curious why my beloved aunt never talked about this before.

Her homeland is a small island ... remote from the mainland and as you can understand, the population there are mostly superstitious, and as most of the Greeks, deeply religious.

Anyway ... She was walking in olive grove from her home to go to meet my uncle...it was normal, because this happened around 1968...to walk a long distance until you reach your destination in Paxos, small island NE of Greece.

So she walked through the olive grove following a path. It was late evening and it was dark when she felt something above her. She raised her head up to the sky and saw a flying pan (as she described it) ... with no sound and very bright as the sun, without rays. She just stayed there, watching it moving slowly ... yes, this is what we call "UFO" today ... and this "pan" moved up the hill in the olive grove ... silently, in a neighbourhood called "Romanatika." Who could believe her?

Next day, the village's women, after their work, gathered to gossip as usually happens in small societies, and they were talking about a neighbourhood man who often is drunk and mocked him, because the previous night, his family found him passed out on the ground...

When he got home, he was sick with fever and other symptoms I dont remember while she was in some kind of delirium and talking of a flying pan … He had a memory loss, actually for a day.

While the other women mocked him, my aunt said that he had witnessed that and the man wasn't drunk as usual. The man finally recovered, but until the end of his life, had serious health problems because of this and never recovered completely. As far as I know, he died from lung cancer.

PS. Thanks for hearing me and sorry for my English. You can correct any vocabulary or syntax error you find."

Thanks again
