 THE Exact 1954 GREEK UFO ThrashOne of the extreme UFO flaps in history took bond in the autumn of 1954. The explanation epicenter of this flutter was placed in south Europe and in South America. As the complete tidy Fortean knows, hundreds of sticky encounters of the complete line took bond.France is maybe the best-known nation everywhere the 1954 flutter poor out. But of course the commanding UFO flutter of 1954 was not detainee in this thorough alight, but in the put the last touches on area of Mediterranean as well.

So, the impartial sound of ufological information were the homewards press, open even though it unexceptionally was distorting the narrations and untaken information behind no vast details due to complete lack of proposal about UFOs (the UFO domain was make something difficult to see to the extreme section of Greek village, until the late 1960s). These are most of the assured 1954 Greek incidents.* 6 October. A telegram from the homewards police station of Lesvos islet (Aegean sea), reports that on 3:15 pm, the supervisor and residents of Vryssos folks, saw a miniature star-like object, which maneuvered over the village for a theme of an hour.

But a report for a winged "Mothman" over a Greek village, is not impartial an terribly substandard case but an incident that John Keel would influence very furthest appreciated!

It is most expected sure that many other incidents took bond in Greece by means of this commanding UFO flutter, but restriction from searching in pursue archives, miniature can be polished to test them. The most deficient fact is that today the witnesses are boring or are so old that is awkward for them to unplanned details. But these few, reports represent a considerable specimen of the put the last touches on real dwell in of Greek 1954 UFO incidents.
