Editorial

The editorial for this issue reflects on the summer period, contrasting the expected rest with the reality of terrorism impacting vacation spots. It argues that war and terror are products of human "delirium" rather than originating from space. The editorial strongly rejects racial hatred and the concept of the 'alien' as 'different,' proposing extraterrestrialism as a force to change attitudes and foster unity among people and nations. It calls for building "cathedrals of light" where individuals can find peace and contemplate the universe's creator, recognizing the signs of divine presence in the world's diversity.

Articles and Reports

Crop Circles in Italy

Dairago, Italy (June 26, 2005): A report by Guido Bandera details the appearance of mysterious crop circles in a field near Dairago. The formation consisted of a large circle with smaller circles connected to it. Local police and Carabinieri investigated the site, primarily to document the event for the landowner. The article notes that while UFO believers are interested, the investigation focused on potential property damage. Speculation about the origin of the circles is discussed, with theories ranging from pranksters to more unusual explanations, though the lack of footprints suggests a non-human origin.

Caltanissetta, Sicily (June 28, 2005): A report from Giornale di Sicilia describes mysterious drawings found in a wheat field in Delia, a town near Caltanissetta. The formation, a rectangle and two circles, has revived interest in the 'crop circle' phenomenon, which gained prominence in England in the late 1970s. While some attribute the figures to UFO landings or alien presence, the article also suggests meteorological events as a possible cause for the flattened wheat stalks. The Civil Protection and ufologists from Palermo are investigating.

Livorno Light Sighting (July 22, 2005)

Livorno, Italy: The newspaper Il Tirreno reports on a bright light observed in the sky over Livorno. Witnesses described a strong beam of light descending slowly, similar to a meteorite or a UFO. Despite the numerous sightings, emergency services did not receive any calls or reports, leaving the phenomenon a mystery.
