An unidentified flying object (Ufo) was filmed above Venice by an operator from the Italian Radio-Television. It was broadcast on the regional services of R.A.I. The operator, Gabriele Coassin, was able to capture for twenty seconds on his film a sort of large luminous ball, greenish, of variable intensity, above the Grand Canal. The hypothesis of an electro-magnetic phenomenon is not excluded.
