The following information is taken from my new book \u2018UFO CONTACTS IN ITALY -VOLUME TWO\u2019 which has just been published by Philip Mantle\u2019s publishing company \u2018FLYING DISK PRESS\u2019. It is the first time that this information has been made available in english.<\/p>\n

In 2000, during the annual World UFO Symposium in San Marino, my colleague Alfredo Lissoni and I gave a lecture on the sensational discovery of some new original material, which has been sent to us anonymously on a number of occasions regarding the existence of the so-called “Fascist UFO Files\u201d. This material dealt with a purported flying saucer that had either crashed or landed near Magenta in Lombardy in Italy on April 11th, 1933, some fourteen years before the famous Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash. This event involved a subsequent investigation by an obscure war time intelligence unit called \u201cGabinetto RS\/33\u201d (or RS\/33 Cabinet ), \u2018RS\u2019 is the acronym for Ricerche Speciali or Special Researches, and 33 means 1933, this group had been authorized by Benito Mussolini to study the problem.<\/p>\n

Later the crashed UFO was stored in the hangars of the SIAI Marchetti in Vergiate. Mussolini thought that this \u201cunconventional flying vehicle\u201d was a French, British or German secret weapon, but apparently Guglielmo Marconi believed it was Extra-Terrestrial in nature. The RS\/33 Cabinet – according to the mysterious sender of the material who wrote to us saying he was a relative of one of its members who had investigated this. Apparently, between 1933 and 1940, there were many different Italian UFO sightings: in one instance an Italian fighter plane intercepted an UFO between Ravenna and Rome and in August 1936 there was a multiple UFO sighting (a \u201cflying cigar\u201d and two Saturn-shaped UFOs) over Mestre and Venice.<\/p>\n

Indeed, in Italy there were many UFO sightings between 1933 and 1940, so little wonder a secret commission was established to study them. According to the \u201cFascist UFO Files\u201d we received, it was founded by Mussolini along with Fascist Ministers Italo Balbo and Galeazzo Ciano and it was headed by Guglielmo Marconi. The first UFO case was in 1931 near Venice; the second is above mentioned case when, on June 13, 1933, a landed UFO was recovered.<\/p>\n

We have three telegrams (there are four) concerning the recovery of this UFO and a ‘protocol’ was sent to the Prefect, intended for the Italian secret services and the newspapers, in order to cover up this news. It all began in early 1996 when I received a handful of hand written notes on stationary bearing the seal of the \u201cKingdom\u2019s Senate\u201d in the mail. The year mentioned in the material was 1936 and in the hand written document, first sent to a Certain \u201cValiberghi\u201d by a secret agent using the first name \u201cAndrea\u201d there was a sketch of a \u201cmysterious airship\u201d.<\/p>\n
