The 1947 Roswell incident in New Mexico is perhaps the most well-known UFO crash in history, spawning countless debates and conspiracy theories. However, what if I told you that there was an earlier, lesser-known incident that occurred in 1933 in Italy that could rival Roswell in importance? This is the story of the 1933 UFO crash in Italy: The Pre-Roswell Forgotten Enigma.
When we think of UFO crashes, our minds often turn to Roswell, but history has a way of hiding intriguing secrets. Could there be an even earlier event that involved a dictator, covert operations, and potential military cover-ups? The 1933 UFO crash in Italy seems to suggest this, and recent allegations and evidence from researchers and former intelligence officers have put this mysterious incident back in the spotlight.
According to these emerging sources, a bell-shaped flying saucer met its untimely end near Magenta, a town situated west of Milan, on June 13, 1933.
The alleged recovery of the craft by the Italian authorities led to its transport to a nearby airfield, where it was examined by a team of experts, headed by none other than Guglielmo Marconi, the renowned inventor of the radio. However, the first “UFO” case in Italy remained shrouded in secrecy, as the fascist regime immediately cracked down on the incident. Roberto Pinotti, founder and secretary of the National UFO Center, has played a key role in solving the riddle surrounding this case.
During a conference on “Ufology” near Lake Maggiore in Arona, Pinotti shed light on this intriguing piece of history. He explained: “The remains of the UFO, depicted in the drawings as a cylindrical aircraft with a neck at the end, adorned with portholes emitting white and red lights, were stored in the Siai-Marchetti warehouses in Vergiate for 12 years.”
What’s even more intriguing are the details about the ship’s occupants. Preserved in formalin, these otherworldly pilots measured 1.80 meters tall, possessed light hair and impressive blue eyes of oriental appearance.
It is no wonder that Mussolini initially assumed that they were German pilots, despite Marconi’s contrary opinion. Pinotti’s hypothesis adds a new layer to the history of the pre-war period, suggesting, “The Duce may have believed that aligning himself with Nazi Germany, possessing advanced and unprecedented air capabilities, was more prudent than having it as an adversary.”
The UFO itself was supposedly constructed from an unknown metal that is resistant to heat and corrosion. It boasted a complex propulsion system and electromagnetic fields, far beyond the technological reach of that time.
Interestingly, Benito Mussolini, captivated by the phenomenon, established a secret department known as the “Gabinetto RS/33” (or RS/33 Office) to study the disk and its extraterrestrial technology. This secret department, under Marconi’s leadership, included scientists, engineers, and military officers, all working toward the ambitious goal of reverse-engineering the alien craft for military applications.
However, his grand plans were thwarted with the end of World War II, when Italy fell to Allied forces. According to some reports, U.S. troops got their hands on the saucer and its remains, transporting them back to the United States. These artifacts would have become part of a clandestine program tasked with collecting and researching various “non-human” flying saucers.
This program was allegedly overseen by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), an exceptionally secretive intelligence agency specializing in spy satellites.
Recent revelations by David Grusch, a former NRO officer who claims to have firsthand knowledge of this program, have shed light on its existence. Grusch claims he has found documents and photographs that support the acquisition of several alien craft by the U.S. government over the years, including the one from Italy in 1933. He claims to have also spoken to other former intelligence officers who corroborate his account.
The 1933 UFO crash in Italy, while one of the oldest and most obscure cases in the history of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), may hold the key to unraveling the origins and intentions of these enigmatic visitors. Their significance could extend to the profound impact these encounters have had on human history and technological development, making it an important chapter in the annals of UFO lore.
