Over the past month, I've probably looked over twenty references to the UFO crash in Milan, Italy in 1933.
Any truth?
Well....the basic story goes this way. A craft crashed on the western side of Milan. Locals came upon it....thinking it was a aircraft of some type.
Mussolini's officials? They came to inspect the crashed vehicle (no bodies noted) and were all convinced in some way that this was a England, France or Germany high development craft.
In the weeks after the crash, the order came from Mussolini....to move 'human-made' craft to a hanger associated to SIAI Marchetti (Vergiate) in Milan.
Their basic instruction? A team led by Guglielmo Marconi would reverse engineer whatever the Brit, French or Germans had under development.
The alien idea....it would appear this came up a couple of years later.
In mid-1944, as Americans were entering Italy....the Pope (he knew of the program and the location)....advised the Americans of the vehicle and assisted in some way for them to 'take' the vehicle out of Italy.
What happened to the vehicle? No one says.
The passengers who had been on board? No bodies were found. I would assume they were rescued, or simply blended into the landscape.
BS-factor? The chief problem with the story, as I see it.....not a single mention of a recovered craft (being Brit, French or German) is in any local Milan newspaper of the period (several folks have commented on this odd missing news).
If such a vehicle had existed, one might expect Hitler by the late 1930s to be aware of it, and attempted to glean information on it for their own programs. You don't see that indicator.
So I lean toward the story being 90-percent BS. It was probably designed as a hoax-joke and people in Italy actually believed in this originally.
