I had GPT summarize the article. Also had it check out the guy claiming things, I'll post that separately.
- Italian researcher Roberto Pinotti shared evidence files of a UFO crash in Northern Italy, allegedly occurred on June 13, 1933, 14 years before the famous Roswell incident.
- The files were sent to Pinotti by a mystery source who claimed to have inherited them from a relative who worked on Mussolini's supposed UFO program.
- David Grusch, a former National Reconnaissance Office staffer, has also made similar claims about the 1933 UFO crash.
- The evidence includes handwritten memos on paper with a government agency letterhead dated August 22, 1936, which include a sketch and description of a cylindrical aircraft with portholes on the sides and white and red lights spotted flying over Northern Italy.
- Other documents refer to a mysterious government department called 'Gabinetto RS/33', supposedly set up by Mussolini to manage the retrieval and study of the alleged saucer wreckage.
- Pinotti's claims have been met with skepticism, with some pointing out that the documents bear no protocol numbers or official stamps that would help verify them as real government documents.
- Pinotti had one of his documents, dated 1936, tested by a forensic expert who concluded the paper and ink was from that period.
- British historian Graeme Rendall believes the evidence is inconclusive and calls for an independent examination of the original documents.
- Marco Negri, a resident of Northern Italy, reported family stories of a strange metallic aircraft without wings that crashed in Magenta in the 1930s.
- The Republic of San Marino is currently working with Pinotti and fellow CUN executive Paolo Guizzardi to lobby the United Nations to set up its own UFO investigations office.
