Sailor on a ship spots ‘bird-men’ flying freely across the sky.

Location. Toscana Italy
Date: 1945  Time: afternoon

An Italian sailor onboard the battleship Duilio that was anchored at the port, looked up from his post on the ship’s bridge at something that attracted his attention. From a distance he saw what resembled a formation of migrating birds flying in a “V” formation. The sailor reached for a pair of binoculars and was treated to an unexpected sight. The “birds” turned out to be flying humans endowed with powerful wings, heading toward the battleship in a steady glide. Their faces were entirely human, and the leader, occupying the vertex of the “V”, appeared to be engaged in conversation with his companion to his right. The massive wings were strangely motionless, and their legs ended in powerful, three toed claws. Their bodies were entirely covered in feathers except for their faces. The witness ran to obtain additional witnesses, but when he returned the creatures had predictably disappeared.
