The 1933 'Fascist UFO files'

Documents published in 2000 claimed a cigar-shaped craft crashed near Magenta, west of Milan, and was studied by a secret cabinet under Guglielmo Marconi.

1933 CE · 45.46, 8.88 · status: claim

The account

Italian ufologist Roberto Pinotti released papers describing a 'Gabinetto RS/33' set up on Mussolini's orders to examine the wreck, said to be hidden in SIAI-Marchetti hangars at Vergiate.

The sceptical view

The documents have never been authenticated, their provenance is unclear, and no archive confirms the RS/33 cabinet. Historians treat them as unproven at best.
