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!

     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!
