A meticulous investigator has recently discovered compelling evidence that sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) took place in Italy, a full fourteen years before the infamous Roswell incident. The research further reveals that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini established a covert operation to monitor these extraterrestrial incursions in the years preceding World War II.

Roberto Pinotti, president of Italy’s National Ufological Center, has been investigating an alleged UFO crash on June 13, 1933, since 1996. Now, he claims to have acquired a wealth of confidential files on the case. This revelation comes in the wake of the recent testimony of top U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch before Congress, where he disclosed that American forces had confiscated the alien spacecraft post-war, and had subsequently transported it to the U.S. for reverse-engineering.

Pinotti's evidence consists of two telegrams from June 1933, dispatched on the express orders of "Il Duce," Mussolini himself. The messages ominously warned of "immediate arrest" and "maximum penalties" for anyone who dared to publicize the supposed landing of an unidentified aircraft on Italian soil.

Pinotti also posits that the inventor of the radio and Nobel laureate, Guglielmo Marconi, was at the helm of a clandestine government unit, Gabinetto RS/33. This department, set up by Mussolini himself, dedicated itself to studying the enigmatic spacecraft and the remains of two blonde-haired extraterrestrial entities found inside. By cross-referencing the documents, which feature sketches of a cylindrical craft equipped with portholes, Pinotti believes he has pinpointed the secret storage location of this interstellar artifact at a facility outside Magenta, near Milan. Intriguingly, he notes that wartime Allied bombing campaigns always deliberately avoided this particular region.

David Grusch, a former official with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, reported, "In 1933, a bell-like craft, approximately ten meters in size, was recovered in Magenta, northern Italy. It remained in the possession of Mussolini's government until 1944, when it was retrieved by U.S. intelligence agents. Ironically, it predates public knowledge of incidents like Roswell by several decades."

Adding credibility to these claims, Marco Rubio, Senate Intelligence Committee ranking member, recently confirmed hearing testimonies from alleged eyewitnesses. Meanwhile, the Pentagon steadfastly denies any instances of crash retrievals by the U.S., even as Harvard scientists have recently announced that peculiar objects retrieved from the Pacific Ocean in 2014 "could be remnants of an interstellar spacecraft."
