The account
In 1973 an Alitalia flight from Rome to Naples reported a round object, confirmed by two Italian Air Force aircraft from Ciampino; later that year, on 30 November, an incident at Caselle near Turin involved an airliner crew and the control tower.
The sceptical view
Details rest on later retellings; bright planets and military aircraft are possible.
