On September 14, 1998, as the sun was setting over Athens, two women sitting on a balcony witnessed an extraordinary scene. An unidentified flying object appeared in the sky, moving silently in their direction. Initially mistaking it for a helicopter, they quickly reconsidered due to the complete absence of noise and the peculiar nature of the sighting.
As the object approached, the two witnesses could make out a humanoid figure floating in an upright position, dressed in a suit resembling that of an astronaut. This strange figure then landed in a nearby park before making an impressive leap towards the forest on Ardittos Hill.
What happened next defies any rational explanation: the humanoid reportedly began to hover above the ground before transforming into a bright spot and then vanishing completely before the astonished eyes of the two women.
This event, although largely unknown to the general public, is among the many unexplained sightings reported worldwide. Experts in paranormal and ufological phenomena remain divided on the nature of this apparition: was it a simple optical illusion, a hoax, or a genuine close encounter of the third kind? No concrete evidence has emerged to confirm or refute this story, leaving the mystery of what really happened that evening in Athens unresolved.
