Μεγάλος Πλάτανος 2-9-1990
Here is the story of the UFO crach near the village of Megas Platanos in
Central Greece on September 2, 1990:
About 03.00 hours that night, shepherds and some villagers observed a
small group of 5 - 6 UFOs aproaching the area from the North. One of them had
an unstable flight and seemed to be with a problem. Strange lights came out of
UFO's fuselage, but without any noise.
As an eyewitness, shepherd Trantos Karatranjos, told me, suddenly the
troubled UFO lost altitude and crashed to the ground at a distance of about 500
metres away from him. He didnt hear any noise but a fire started burning the
bushes. Trantos Karatranjos was very afraid to get closer and stayed in his
position watching the phenomenon.
The rest of the UFOs in this group stoped over the "accident"
spot and 2 of them landed near the destroyed UFO. In a few minutes the fire in
the bushes was terminated (probably the crew of the landed UFOs stoped the
fire). For the rest of the night, till dawn, there was an unusual traffic from
the ground to the flying UFOs. Light spots (something like small space rafts??)
went up and down, probably collecting the pieces of the destroyed UFO and the
bodies(?) of the crew. They finished the collection before sunrise and after
that the rest of UFOs took off and were lost in the sky!
Meanwhile all the villagers had been awakened and had seen the whole
operation.
Early in the morning the villagers went out to the spot (where all of this
occurred) and they saw on the ground a burned oval shape in the ground with a
cut pine tree in the center (it is still in this place); and very small metalic
pieces and pieces of wires around the tree. Some of the the people, like
Argyris Alevantas, collected a number of these pieces. One strange think was
that at the edges of the burned oval the fire stopped like it had been cut by
knife!
Some hours later a team of Hellenic Air Force personel came in the area
and told the villagers that this was nothing serious, maby a Soviet satelite
crashed or a plane! They took some pieces of the UFO too and left the area.
Argyris Alevantas sent a piece of the UFO to the Space Research
Institute in Brussels and they replyed to him that the item came definitely
from space!
That's the story. If you think that we need more informations we can get
more because I have a very good relationship with the people in the village of
Megas Platanos. You see, they don't like to talk a lot about this story because
they are afraid that someone will think they are crazy or something!
September 2 1990, near dawn a UFO crashed in the area of a small vilage
named Megas Platanos in central Greece. Almost all the vilagers had seen the
crash. For the rest of the night a group of UFOs came in the area and colected
all the remains of the destoyed UFO, an operation that also took place in front
of the vilagers. Next morning some of them found and collected small pieces of
the destoyed UFO which they kept till today.
Anyway there are a lot of details that, if you are interested, we can
discuss later in time.
I was in the area six months ago filming a documentary on the case. I
made a further research in UFOs apearances in Greece and I found extraordinary
informations for a lot of cases!
