My assessment of the Zanfretta and that is that we can easily explain away his hair turning grey and then white as well as his appearing to age more down to...being a human being. There is nothing unusual in this. The dark urine could be down to a temporary medical condition since I cannot find mention of any samples having been tested. His running around confused and so on could have been a temporary "mental lapse" -collapsing being his body shutting down after this.
Nothing unexplainable and I have always maintained that without secondary evidence or eye witness testimony of something having been seen the single witness/percipient gets a low credibility rating. In UFO Contact? I go into more detail and cite cases as to why this is. However in the Zanfretta case we have a stumbling block in explaining this all away.
Firstly, we know Zanfretta was found with, basically, an over heated body and with a high temperature coming from his car which, at that time of the year should have not been possible. The video explains a lot of this so watch it for that info. The biggest stumbling block is that locals reported strange lights in the area of Zanfretta's encounter and on more than one occasion and the idea that they would all lie to the military police investigators...not a good idea at that time.
We then have corroboration of a "UFO" from Zanfretta's colleagues who went out after he went missing -one even firing at a "UFO" and discharging your gun is not something taken lightly and there is little doubt that the guard would have been questioned by his bosses as well as the military police.
If we looked at this as a case of alleged alien abduction then it has a great deal going for it even if the evidence is merely anecdotal and from many witnesses. Physical traces, etc -let's not forget that.
The problem comes in what Zanfretta related under hypnosis and this is where I have a problem. One later hypnosis resulted in the hypnotist stating that Zanfretta was telling the truth but deluded -because he believed he had been abducted. But all the psychological checks and tests revealed that Zanfretta was sane and not delusional -and luckily these were proper medical checks not Ufologist created.
Let's assume that on the night in question Zanfretta was confronted by an alien entity and that this resulted in an abduction. UFOs were being seen for some time so there is the possibility that Zanfretta may not have been alone but that is pure speculation. He was a lone security guard out in an isolated area with very little chance of anyone else showing up: that made it a perfect scenario for an abduction -alien or human.
Nothing about his experience is out of the ordinary when it comes to what we know about such cases. Zanfretta was returned and then his recall is under hypnosis and that, as I stated, is the problem. If we are believing that communication took place via telepathy or some other means we have to consider that this is a human being, probably seeing UFOs as a joke, who suddenly has his entire world view shattered. He is confronted by alien entities and a physical examination aboard a "UFO" and his mind would be trying to process this while any communication is going on. People involved in major incidents vary to not recall or get what someone with them or a rescuer says -they are concentrating on the shocking situation they find themselves in.
It is possible, if this was a real incident, that Zanfretta only understood or grasped some of what was being communicated. He was after all no astrophysicist and so may have misunderstood or misinterpreted what was being communicated and under hypnosis his mind would be trying to put the pieces together and what is said may, in some parts, seem nonsensical.
If these abductions/encounters take place then it is stupidity on the part of Ufologists and others to assume that everything would be set out A to B to C to D and make perfectly logical sense. A nice clean account with nothing left out and no confusion. Even those who can recall some of their encounter find parts of it blocked and the idiotic way some use hypnosis to try to "break through" these blocks can only cause more problems. These are human beings encountering something that should not be, using basic and loose terms, aliens and extraterrestrial space craft. Nothing would prepare them for that and, as noted already, this would shatter the normal human world view.
We know that many alleged UFO abductees suffer physiological symptoms that cannot be conventionally explained. We know that some (probably most) suffer from psychological problems after the events and classic post traumatic stress is one of these. If you have two to three normal, intelligent people go out for a drive through the countryside and see an unusual "craft" and find that they are then miles away from where they saw that "craft" and it is an hour later how do you explain that? If those people develop clear signs of mild radiation poisoning and burns as well as eye problems how do you explain that? When a psychologist clearly notes that those people are suffering post traumatic stress then something must have happened. We have such cases and in a number the accounts were only made known after Ufologists threatened to out percipients to local press and media...and later did so any way).
What Zanfretta recalled under hypnosis may be partially true but his mind trying to interpret what happened. Was he abducted three times or did something trigger post traumatic stress and he again relived the abduction? We will never know because rather than taking time and being patient and trying to coax suppressed memories from him the leap into hypnosis was taken and that might taint a great deal.
I have tried repeatedly to look at all of the recorded facts and explain away the Zanfretta case. In fact I have asked others to do so but they basically ignore the accounts and repeat the usual debunkers claims and those tend to be false and ignoring what we know. I would love to find out Zanfretta was a complete and utter nut job or hoaxer but so far, after several decades, I have failed.
That leaves us with the belief that something happened to Zanfretta that night in what turned out to be a time of high "UFO" activity but how much of his memory was jumbled by hypnosis and how much later events can be attributed to PTSD we have no idea.
In my archive this case is still unexplained.
