Editorial: UFOs Complete 62 Years
The editorial marks the 62nd anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold sighting on June 24, 1947, where he observed nine unidentified flying objects over Mount Rainier, Washington, USA. The editorial asserts that UFO phenomena persist despite attempts to relegate them to mythology, citing statistics of registered sightings in Italy. It highlights that the phenomenon has been recurring for over 60 years across all latitudes. The article also mentions inexplicable events like crop circles that complicate the situation. A significant point raised is the increasing number of people claiming contact with the occupants of flying saucers, acknowledging that while some claims may stem from suggestion or a desire for publicity, a notable group has been disseminating messages from 'brothers of space' for years. The editorial concludes by emphasizing the need for open-mindedness to penetrate the mystery of flying saucers.
News and Sightings Reports
Abano (Italy) - June 13, 2009: Residents and passersby reported seeing seven luminous orange spheres moving in formation at high speed shortly before midnight. The objects were described as emitting intense light and exhibiting a pendulum-like movement, sometimes disappearing and reappearing. The phenomenon lasted about ten minutes.
Cordenons (Italy) - June 13, 2009: Several witnesses observed a bright light descending slowly and disappearing, leaving a trail. An astronomer from the Trieste Astronomical Observatory suggested it was likely a bolide (a meteoroid entering the atmosphere) or a meteorite, though it might have disintegrated before reaching the ground. Similar phenomena were reportedly seen in Naples.
Kashgar, China - February 18, 2009 (reported June 3, 2009): A video of an alleged UFO was released online, reportedly filmed in Kashgar. The object was seen by two witnesses.
Praiano (Italy) - June 13, 2009: A couple sighted three luminous objects performing unusual maneuvers in the sky. The material was transmitted to the regional ufological center. Similar phenomena were also noted in Naples on the same evening.
Altopascio and Montecarlo (Italy) - June 21, 2009: Twelve luminous objects of various colors were seen descending towards the surface before ascending again. One witness, who previously did not believe in UFOs, described the experience as unique and stated that the phenomenon was visible to the naked eye.
Alta Versilia (Italy) - June 15, 2009: Reports emerged of unidentified objects, described as 'luminous balls in motion,' seen in the sky. Some witnesses described seeing two luminous balls moving at high speed, while others reported seeing a luminous object with a bright streak. The article notes that law enforcement agencies have not received reports of strange object falls.
Germany: A 14-year-old German student named Gerrit Blank was reportedly hit by a meteorite fragment, described as being the size of a pebble, which caused a wound about 10 cm long on his hand.
Crop Circles: The issue mentions crop circles as inexplicable events that contribute to the complexity of the UFO phenomenon. A specific case describes a 'jellyfish' design drawn in a field in England, which, while visually striking, was viewed as a nuisance by the farmers due to the influx of curious visitors.
Book Review: A review of the book "KRYON - RIVELAZIONI SUL 2012 E LA NUOVA ERA" by Angelo Picco Barilari is included, discussing the concept of rising terrestrial vibrations and personal adaptation to a new era between 2011 and 2013.
Video News: A link to a TG2 video news report about a UFO sighting is provided.
