1961 Italy

1961 - Pescara, Italy. Bruno Ghibaudi, a scientific newspaper journalist took several photographs of strange flying devices on the beaches of Pescara along the Adriatic sea in April 1961.

He also claims he had encountered extraterrestrial beings.

This looks more like a flying locust than anything else.

One of the strangest flying objects I have ever seen.

Italy 1960

1960 - Italy, September. This photo of three dark UFOs has certainly had its naysayers.

Those who debunk it say that the extreme dark color of the objects make them appear to be pasted onto a background image and then re-photographed.

This is a possibility. UFO proponents will tell you that either magnetic gravitational or other anomalies of the advanced technology caused this dark coloration.

And so the debate continues.

Italy 1954

1954 - Sicily, Italy, December 10. Four men are staring upward at two very odd shapes in the sky.

The photographer was questioned about his photograph, and he claimed that the objects were actually in the sky, as opposed to a film or camera anomaly, and that the objects simply stood still for several minutes.

Italy 1953

1953 - Moumra, Italy. Italian specialist Giuseppe Stilo explained that this alleged photo case was first known when the Italian weekly L’Europeo released on February 3, 1957, an interview with diplomat Alberto Perego, who had a nonphotographic UFO sighting in the Vatican City.

In order to better describe his visual observation he provided photomontages to this end (the magazine made it clear that that’s what they were).

This started a widely-reproduced mistake.

There were previous sighting by Perego over Santa Maria Maggiore’s church (Rome) on October 30, 1954 and these were also published in the same way.
