Caso Amicizia (the W56 contacts)
From 1956 a circle around the Pescara businessman Bruno Sammaciccia claimed long contact with tall human-like extraterrestrials, the 'W56', said to have bases under the Adriatic and central Italy.

The account
Members, including the writer Stefano Breccia, later published photographs, letters and stories of physical phenomena running until 1978. The group claimed a struggle between the W56 and hostile 'CTR' beings.
The sceptical view
No independent evidence; the photos are poor and the claims surfaced decades later in books by participants.
