ITALIAN UFO ACTIVITY DURING 2002
Only 6 UFO sightings allegedly took place in Italy during 2002 and were recorded by the special office of the General Staff of the Italian Military Air Force.
As has occurred almost regularly since 1986, the Reparto Generale Sicurezza (Department of Security Management) has published its list of UFO cases gathered and transmitted by various military units and the Italian Carabinieri police force during the previous year [www.aeronautica.difesa.it/csma/rgs/OVNI2002.asp].
Still, the update for 2002 is more disappointing than usual: only six observations were said to have occurred in our country, in contrast with the over 700 collected and recorded by the Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU). Such a gap was already evidenced by the preceding list relative to 2001, which only constited of 12 reports vs. the 760 cases collected by Ufologists
