"The Secret Night on Rtanj: Encounter with Beings from Another World"
"When the Sky Opened and Strange Lights Descended, No One Was Prepared for What They Saw"

Rtanj. A name that carries mystique and sorrow, a mountain whose peak Šiljak rises like a pyramid toward the sky, has always inspired awe and strange tales among the villagers of eastern Serbia. But few know what really happened on that night in 2019, when unknown celestial visitors descended upon this sacred mountain.
It was nearly six years ago, at dusk on a cold September day. The villagers from nearby settlements spoke of unusual lights appearing at the mountain’s peak as clouds parted as if an invisible hand was screwing them apart. They waited with fear tightening their chests—and then they saw something that changed their view of the world forever.
At the very summit, where Rtanj rises like a pyramid into the sky, dazzling lights appeared. At first, it was only a faint glow, like stars descending lower, but soon the lights grew so bright they illuminated the forest and meadows below the mountain as if it were daytime. People turned and whispered, “What is that? Are those planes? Or... something else?”
Those brave enough to look through binoculars saw the outlines of something that didn’t resemble a plane or a helicopter. It was a massive, circular craft, with metallic surfaces shimmering in various colors—blue, green, red. Beams of light shot out from it like spears, reaching down to the ground.
At that moment, a few courageous men and women began climbing the trail toward the summit, wanting to discover what was happening. As they approached, they felt their bodies stiffen, as if an invisible force was penetrating their skin and soul. The air became thick and heavy, filled with a strange scent—like burnt metal and something they could only describe as the smell of “time breaking.”
At the mountain’s peak, among the rocks, one of the unknown visitors appeared. It didn’t have a face like we know. Its eyes were enormous and shiny, like two black moons staring straight into their hearts. Its voice was not a voice—it was a voice inside their heads, words spoken without moving lips, cold and mysterious.
“Do not be afraid,” it said silently, “we are the guardians of the mountain. We have come to preserve the balance between worlds.”
The people stood frozen, unsure whether to flee or stay. At that moment, the lights converged into a single massive beam, and from it emerged another figure, smaller, resembling a human but surrounded by an unusual energy. This entity showed them images—the mountain’s past, ancient civilizations that built pyramids all over the world, including Rtanj.
“This mountain is not just stone. It is a portal, the center of energy connecting Earth and the stars,” the quiet thought spoke in their minds. “Our arrival is no accident. We must warn you. Do not allow this world to be destroyed. Your energy must be pure, your hearts brave.”
After these words were spoken, the lights began to retreat, the circular craft ascending silently into the sky, carrying with it an indelible feeling of the presence of something far beyond human understanding.
In the days that followed, the villagers felt their minds becoming clearer, yet heavier. Some began having dreams in which Rtanj spoke to them about the future of the world, about dangers coming from the Earth’s core, and about the role humans must play.
The story of that encounter remained a secret among a few, but those who saw or heard about it know that Rtanj is not an ordinary mountain. It is a living legend, guarding the gates between worlds. And while its pyramidal peaks still rise toward the sky, perhaps somewhere, in the silence of the night, the call of the heavenly visitors can be heard again—waiting for their message to be understood.
