UFO sighting at Mount Mosiné in July 1983.

In July 1983 while taking the night train to Italy I saw a UFO about 15 minutes after leaving the French/Italian border at 2am and before it arrived at Turin.

I have never seen one before or since. This was a one off. Seen by the 5 other people in my couchette.

It was a bit like this picture, but its was all glowing white. The edge was not vertical strips like this, but small port holes. I had time to study it in depth as it flew up the valley and then over the train.

Now I have thought about this a lot since. There are anomalies. It seems that I was guiding people in a group hallucination. People in the couchette next door said afterwards that they saw a glowing cloud from the valley below. But it was not a UFO. The guards on the train just ignored us and got us to go back in the couchette when we rushed out to see if after it crossed the train. But things were slightly weird in retrospect and perhaps it was all an hallucination. It was late and we were after all very excited and young.

So I did a check the other day to find out exactly where were were. It was the Susa valley. And then while looking up to see if there were any UFO sighting in the area in the early 1980s found mention of Mount Mosiné. "The place is famous for its countless sightings of UFOs" says this article. And it is described as "the most mysterious mountain in Italy." It is also linked since ancient times to occult.

Now that seems quite a coincidence. There can't be many mysterious mountains famous for UFO sights that I have had UFO sights in the valley of.

Perhaps then UFO sights are like Ghosts. They do not have "objective reality" in that people see different things. Or perhaps cos they are weird experiences people don't know what to see. Flying saucer or cloud of glowing gas.

Anyway a definitely odd experience.
