Contents and Articles

Editorial Introduction

The editorial section, titled "IL PERCHE' DI UNA RIVISTA CARTACEA" (The Why of a Paper Magazine), explains the rationale behind this new publication. It references previous publications like "Il Baratto" and "Contact" and emphasizes that while the CUT website (http://centroufologicotaranto.wordpress.com) is the primary source for real-time news, this newsletter will curate significant articles and news, including original research, studies, and reports from their conventions. The goal is to provide a selection of the most impactful content without excessive printing.

Roswell: ormai è storia (Roswell: It's History Now)

This article, the first part written by Franco Pavone, revisits the Roswell incident of 1947. The author expresses his long-held conviction of the event's veracity, which was further solidified by an interview with Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr. in AREA 51 magazine. Marcel Jr., son of Major Jesse Marcel Sr., provided confident testimony that convinced the author 100% that the alien events at Roswell were real. The article references Philip Corso, a former US Army Colonel, and Jesse Marcel Jr.'s military and medical background as evidence of his credibility. The author concludes that an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed or landed in the desert, a technology so advanced that scientists have only partially replicated it.

UK:nel 1993 UFO avvistati da poliziotti (UK: In 1993 UFOs Sighted by Policemen)

Written by Antonio De Comite, this article discusses declassified documents from the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) covering the period 1981-1996. It criticizes the media's tendency to dismiss these sightings as mass hallucinations or misidentifications, often influenced by the popularity of "The X-Files." The article highlights specific cases, including:

• A "luminous object" passing near an aircraft in January 1995.
• A "black, diamond-shaped object" passing within 500 meters of an aircraft over Berkshire in August 1994.
• UFOs being pursued by Belgian F-16 fighter jets in March 1990.
• An "enormous object" entering the atmosphere over the Arctic in March 1994, causing a 200-mile shockwave, observed by a flight crew traveling from Moscow to Tokyo.

The author argues that these cases, particularly the "air miss" incidents, are compelling evidence that skeptics should reconsider, questioning why journalists rely on international copy-paste news without deeper investigation.

UK e 2010 anno del contatto (UK and 2010 Year of Contact)

This article, co-authored by Antonio De Comite and Eugenio Palese, examines the "blindness" of the press regarding declassified UK documents and analyzes the film "2010: The Year We Make Contact" alongside real-world events. It points to several developments suggesting a significant year in 2010:

1. American and European experiments with UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) with advanced aerodynamics resembling UFOs.
2. A multi-billion dollar US project to launch 20 spy satellites to monitor "friendly nations."
3. A US Navy base in Hawaii developing a supercomputer to detect "hostile satellites."
4. The continuation and enhancement of the "Star Wars" program, even under different administrations.
5. Italy's military buildup, including a new aircraft carrier and the launch of a military spy satellite.

The authors question whether these developments point to a potential "contact" of a hostile nature or if they are part of a staged scenario by arms manufacturers to justify continued military spending and technological development, using the threat of aliens as a pretext.

Centrale nucleare sotto Giza? (Nuclear Power Plant Under Giza?)

This is the first part of an article by Vincenzo Puletto, which investigates the mysteries surrounding the Giza pyramids, particularly the Pyramid of Cheops. The author expresses dissatisfaction with conventional explanations from Egyptologists and archaeologists, suggesting they focus on minor details while overlooking larger truths. He posits that the pyramids' true purpose might not be tombs or places of worship, but rather the protective casing for a massive nuclear power plant constructed by an ancient, highly evolved civilization, possibly of intergalactic origin. Evidence cited includes the discovery of pollen from extinct plants dating back 10,500 years, suggesting a much older origin for the pyramids than commonly accepted. The article also references atomic scientist Louis Bulgarini, who reported radioactivity in the pyramids and other Egyptian monuments in 1949.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "Centro Ufologico Taranto" magazine strongly advocates for the reality of UFO phenomena, challenging media skepticism and promoting in-depth investigation. The editorial stance is one of open-mindedness, encouraging readers to consider unconventional theories, such as ancient advanced civilizations and extraterrestrial contact. The magazine aims to be a serious platform for ufological research, presenting evidence from declassified documents, witness testimonies, and speculative scientific theories. The recurring themes include the historical significance of the Roswell incident, the importance of government transparency (or lack thereof) regarding UFOs, and the potential implications of advanced technology, both human and possibly extraterrestrial, for the future of humanity. The magazine positions itself as a non-sectarian, non-profit association dedicated to disseminating and analyzing information related to UFOs and related subjects, with a primary working hypothesis that some UFOs may indeed be of "extraterrestrial" origin.
