UFO FLAP SWEEPS MEDITERRANEAN 
The recent "green fireball" sighting over Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport
was just the kickoff for a UFO flap that has swept Italy, Sandinia and
Corsica during the past two weeks. 
Eight major sightings are now being investigated by the Centro Italiano di
Studi Ufologici (CISU), according to their newsletter, the CISU Flash for
January 25, 1997. 
On December 11, 1996, at about 8 a.m., people in the village of Ascoli
Piceno in the Sibillini mountain range saw "a flaming object with a
(visible) trail" flying high in the sky. Following the sighting, a Fire
Brigade helicopter spotted a mysterious pond of melted snow near the peak
of Mount Vettore. (See the Italian newspaper Corriere Adriatico for
December 12, 1996. CISU investigator: Carlo Cruciani) 
On January 5, 1997, at 7:10 a.m., a man and woman in Abbadia di Fiastra,
Macerata province, spotted "a soundless, strange green light moving high in
the sky." The couple had it in view for a few minutes before it flew away.
(See the newspaper Il Resto del Carlino for January 9, 1997. CISU
investigator: Simone Grandicelli) 
On the afternoon of January 7, 1997, a family of four at Arlena di Castro
in Viterbo province sighted "a white ball passing through the sky." (See
the newspapers Corriere di Viterbo and Il Messaggero for January 9, 1997.
CISU investigator: Angelo Ferlicca) 
A few hours later on January 7, "a bright pulsing light in the sky" was
seen at La Spezia. (See the newspaper La Nazione for January 9, 1997. CISU
investigator: Monica Bottino) 
On January 12, a UFO made an appearance over the island of Sardinia. At 11
p.m., an engaged couple having a quite cuddle at Villamassargia were
suddenly interrupted by "a large circle of beam-emitting light circling in
the sky." The UFO hovered for about 20 minutes before taking off. (See the
newspaper L'Unione Sarda for January 13, 1997. The case was investigated by
Antonio Cuccu of CISU) 
The following day, January 13, a bowl-shaped UFO appeared over mainland
Italy. At 8:20 p.m., three men at Albacina watched "a half-moon object
hover above a hill" for about three minutes. (See the newspapers Corriere
Adriatico, Il Messaggero and Il Centro for January 15, 1997. CISU
Investigators: Simone Grandicelli and Renzo Cabassi) 
On January 14, 1997, at 8 p.m., two tourists in the town of Prignano, near
Salerno, gaped in amazement as "a luminous cone-shaped object with rotating
lights" rose above the rooftops. The UFO failed to keep its equilibrium and
turned turtle several times while it was airborne. (CISU investigator:
Giorgio Russolillo) 
On January 15, 1997, at 5 p.m., people in the city of Piacenza called
police to report "a gray oval-shaped flying object" passing over their
homes. 
Three hours later, at 8:15 p.m., "two white rotating lights" were spotted
in Fiumicino, a suburb of Rome. The UFOs were videotaped by onlookers and
vanished after 20 minutes. (See the newspaper Corriere della Sera for
January 16, 1997. CISU investigators: Marco Bianchini and Giancarlo
D'Alessandra) 
(Editor's Comment: I think we can write off the Prignano UFO as a
prankster's hoax. The Mount Vettore case is interesting, though. Whoever
heard of unfrozen water on an Italian mountaintop in the middle of winter?)

Cioe' c'e' una videocassetta dell'evento? di 20 minuti?
Mostratecela! E non come supplemento a L.5000 di qualche
rivista ufologica!
