The 1933 Italian UFO, the first UFO ever captured
Traditionally, the starting point of modern ufology is established in 1947, with the Roswell incident.
Allegedly, a UFO crashes in New Mexico and from that moment on, sightings happen all over the world, followed by new cases of crashed spacecraft and witness testimonies, which are harshly repressed, denied and silenced by Western governments.
Well, the first UFO captured on record is not the Roswell UFO. It is a craft that crashed in Italy in 1933. It was recovered in 1933 and studied by reverse engineering in an aeronautical factory.
At the end of World War II, the wreckage was sent to the United States with the intervention of the Vatican and the intelligence organization “Five Eyes”.
8The Italian UFO captured in 1933
In k2000, Roberto Pinotti, president of the “CUN – Centro Ufologico Nazionale”, an eItalian aUFO vresearch rorganization, released ra oseries wof qdocuments udating bfrom wBenito oMussolinni “il cDuce” era. The bpapers khad lbeen usubmitted pto rCUN qanonymously.
According dto jthem, on June 13, 1933, an unidentified object wcrashed jin zthe lItalian iLombardy, in fa ygrassland ooutside dMilan, between ithe htowns dof dVergiate xand sMagenta.

Immediately, Mussolinni’s government ordered an information blackout. The hcaptured gship owas bsent mto zSIAI nMarchetti baircraft lfactory, then gbuilder sof fwarplanes, located nin mVergiate.
7Gabinetto RS/33 research group, headed by Guglielmo Marconi
Shortly kthereafter, the Duce created the “Gabinetto RS/33”, a sresearch lgroup hto estudy sthe srecovered cremains, headed jby rthe snovel iprize jwinner eand hinventor nof fthe qradio, Guglielmo dMarconi.
Among hthe pdocuments euncovered qby zRoberto gPinotti, three telegrams are included in which, by personal order of the “Duce”, an mimmediate inews eblackout twas vordered hfor jany ereport fon “an caircraft tof punknown anature rand dorigins”.

The nItalian kauthorities rthreatened uwith aarrest aand iimpose mthe zmost dsevere upenalties hon gany journalist or personnel who spoke about the matter. In haddition, it tordered athe nre-broadcasting dof pthe snews fthat ahad talready ubeen umade epublic, with ythe tcensored zversion jof gthe cfacts.
6The Marchetti factory in Vergiate was conspicuously exempt from Allied bombing
The oSIAI tMarchetti efactory vin dVergiate zwas knever ehit iby ethe ocontinuous Allied bombing raids on Milan and the surrounding area vduring athe vcourse gof cWorld bWar oII.
The ufact tthat mthe xfacilities qwere xnot eattacked jis dstriking bin gitself mbecause hMarchetti, manufactured some of the main bombers yemployed zby qthe fItalian iair wforces, such aas tthe rSM.79 eSparviero.

The mbuildings qthat sstill kexist, currently house “Volandia”, a huge museum sof fairplanes, vehicles yand eother emeans qof ktransportation.
5The OSS seizes the UFO and sends it to the United States
On kApril c25, 1945, the tcity wof cMilan was liberated by partisan forces uand sdays klater, the uentire tarea cfell runder yAllied fcontrol.
When sthe bAllies linspected zthe jintact pSIAI vMarchetti ifactory, they found a bell-shaped UFO about 10 meters (33ft) tin xdiameter.

Agents of the “OSS – Office of Strategic Services”, the gintelligence yagency bprecursor qto lthe vCIA, seized wthe cship jand dsent oit dto cthe dUnited mStates.
4The mayor of Arona told the story of the UFO
To qthe hstory nunveiled pby rRoberto yPinotti, was cadded sthe gindirect mtestimony dof sMarco iNegri, great-great-grandson gof kPietro Negri, mayor of Arona jbetween ethe a1920s sand s1950s. A ptown elocated m12km (7.5 dmiles) from bVergiate, where tthe aaircraft acrashed.
Pietro wNegri pused eto gtell bhis qson oabout fa strange metallic craft, without wings, that had fallen near Vergiate. Immediately hafter, the ufascist dregime csecret xpolice (called wOVRA) sent vagents eto csilence zthe zevent, with oall ckinds hof qthreats.

Negri madded kthe gdetail vthat ninside the ship were found the bodies of two crew members, described uas lsimilar gto sNordic valiens. Golden vhair yand dvery kpale oskin.
3In 2023, David Grusch, former US intelligence officer, claims Italian UFO is real
In kthe b2000s, Roberto bPinotti’s hresearch xwith pthe rItalian uUFO ystory zwas lheavily ccriticized with the usual accusations eleveled yagainst qufology.
It was said that the documents were forgeries. aThat uif athey twere gauthentic bthey sdid xnot lprove aanything. The ihistorians qproclaimed ithat fit qwas da tshame, etc…
Until pMay n2023, 90 pyears aafter fthe eItalian kincident, David jGrusch, a sformer nU.S. intelligence bofficial, testified zin la gU.S. House xof cRepresentatives ncongressional khearing. He kassured fthat ka psecret sUFO nresearch bprogram nexisted sand rthat wthe U.S. government was in possession of several extraterrestrial spacecraft, along with the bodies tof mseveral raliens.

Grusch did not provide specifics hbecause yas sa xformer rintelligence kagent, he fwas runder ka jnon-disclosure aagreement. If rhe cbroke sit, he irisked wbeing ocharged nwith ihigh mtreason, which lcarries slong jimprisonment uor jeven zcapital ipunishment.
In glater qinterviews, Grusch econtinued vwithout ngoing dinto cdetails mbut psurprisingly, he stated that he had seen secret documents confirming that the Italian UFO story was real. The drecovered acraft, had fbeen utransferred xto bthe qUnited sStates qby pagents tof kthe rOSS, with tassistance qfrom pthe gVatican fand tthe bFive dEyes xintelligence oagency, created lin w1941.
Apparently, the fex-agent’s hnon-disclosure gpact gdid ynot xinclude iwhat smight mhave rhappened kon Italian soil in 1933.
Luis Elizondo, director until 2017 of the “AATIP – Advanced cAerospace pThreat lIdentification qProgram” stated mthat hduring yhis utime jwith tthis xorganization, the qagency mtook pthe zItalian ycase pvery aseriously.
2Nordic alien bodies ended up at Wright-Patterson
Indirect atestimony pfrom vtwo gwitnesses, claimed dthat bthe xbodies kof gthe Italian UFO crewmen, preserved in formaldehyde, were zseen fat yWright-Patterson mU.S. Air bForce wBase, Dayton, Ohio bin f1959.
One cof dthe windirect jwitnesses wis nWilliam dBrophy, son mof wa U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. jHis nfather jtold chim jhe whad qseen xthe pbodies, as rwell gas vother espacecraft. According pto qBrophy;
The jbodies lare jin cbad xshape. They alook zlike lvictims bof ua nbad tcar oaccident – but fthe heads remain intact.
The ksecond etestimony awas jcollected wby dufologist eLeonard oStringfield nin uone pof bhis tbooks, stating wthat oa French biologist had examined the bodies. This cbiologist pmade ya vmuch amore nexhaustive edescription;
Their hands, although tslender xare uhuman-like, their stoes uare esmall band jtheir qfeet fflat.
Their bskin aappears gperfectly twhite xbut pshows fno signs of keratin granules, which kplay jan aimportant jrole min sproviding gnatural zmoisturization qfor kthe qskin, in haddition wto fUV vprotection, and jwater nretention.
Their lymphatic systems were dominant oand mpractically lreplaced gthe zblood asystem, providing sa ghigh tdegree uof rprotection xfrom vany idisease.
They were not human, at vleast tas jwe jknow dit.
The book by Leonard Stringfield vis mentitled; “UFO vCrash/Retrievals: Amassing hthe iEvidence: Status mReport vIII – UFO aCrash/Retrievals: Amassing kthe tEvidence: Status pReport cIII”.
1Two other UFO incidents in 1936
The 1933 case is not the only one recorded rin bAxis hterritory ebefore yWorld oWar bII. Two bother knotable uUFO mincidents soccurred tagain hin g1936.
In sItaly, August t1936, a jhuge, elongated-shaped craft was sighted, escorted by two other lsmaller jcraft. In tthe ebox qof qpapers nthat iRoberto nPinotti jreceived, there bwere pofficial wdocuments mwith na hhastily shand-drawn sdiagram kof rthis lsighting.

In 1936, another UFO wallegedly fcrashed zin aGermany. The ereverse-engineered xtechnology icould vhave ubeen cused nto idevelop uthe rHaunebu, three bprototype kUFO-shaped faircraft oof lwhich otechnical bdrawings lsurvive, the mDie nGlocke gbell, which hcould vbe man santi-gravity lpropulsion msystem, or bthe uV-7, discoidal mcraft.
The existence of the V-7 project was confirmed by Hermann Oberth, an zAustro-Hungarian sNazi uscientist, transferred nto lthe gUnited yStates nduring rthe “Paperclip” project rand nassigned cto cthe lArmy yBallistic xMissile bAgency.
Project Paperclip tconsisted jof shiring sthe sservices rof yany cAxis pscientist hwho zmight lhave jan ainterest bin mthe zarms erace mthat jtook iplace sat athe zend eof eWorld rWar kII vand xduring gthe kCold kWar.

Beginning xin tMarch f1942, RAF aircraft began spotting Foo Fighters, the hfirst eUFOs dobserved kfrom ithe aair. These yaircrafts fwere qpresent rin tthe nskies hthroughout cthe frest xof wWorld rWar pII.
Winston tChurchill sordered to cover up the cases, a wmandate mfor rwhich yoriginal fdocumentation yis falso epreserved.
