The number of close encounters of the third kind in Italy has surpassed the 1,000 mark.
In fact, "Project Italy 3," which archives and catalogues all the UFO cases involving humanoids that took place in our country, conducted by Paolo Fiorino for the Italian Center for UFO Studies, this week communicated that it has logged in the thousandth episode of this type, out of the over 15,000 UFO sightings gathered and filed up to the present by the C.I.S.U.

[Communication by Paolo Fiorino]
Last 24 February at Scandicci (Florence), the first meeting was held between the promoters of "Project Sassalbo," having as its scope the studying of recurring luminous phenomena in the area of Sassalbo, the small Apennine town in the province of Massa e Carrara, which events came to light in the news following last summer's sightings.
The meeting, at which there were present representatives of the various ufological associations (CUN, C.I.S.U.) and of the Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen, had the purpose of defining the means by which to organize existing material, the methodology to be adopted in investigations, and the possibility and procedure for utilizing external collaborations.
[Communication by Andrea Bovo]
According to the statement made to the press by Antonello Lupino of the International UFO Center, the object sighted at very low altitude by two women in Monselice (Padua) on the evening of last 3 August was gigantic and was even photographed by a meteorological satellite.
There was in fact visible, in a Meteosat image captured at 10 p.m. that evening relative to the geographic coordinates for Monselice, a solid object having the enormous dimensions of approximately two square kilometers, which was not present in the subsequent scan at 10:30 p.m.
