ITALIAN UFO NEWSFLASH

THE UFOS OF THE KGB
Once again, sensational news reports have exploded in the Italian mass
media pertaining to the revelation of secret Soviet documents on UFOs.
This time around, it’s about the publication, beginning in "Komsomolskaja
Pravda" on 5 February, of the documents released in 1991 by the KGB
(the infamous Soviet agency for internal security) to the astronaut Pavel
Popovich, who had requested them in his capacity as president of a UFO
association: they amount to a little more than 120 pages concerning 18
reports about sightings, these having occurred in great part at military
bases and installations, or else at strategic locations in the Soviet Union,
between the years of 1982 and 1990.
On the heels of the newswires, great emphasis (and some correspondences
from Moscow) was given these documents by almost all newspaper, radio and
TV stations, but practically in Italy alone.
In reality, there was no “scoop,ö especially not in our country, given that
such documents had already been known and distributed as early as 7 years ago.
In particular, these were integrally translated and published in 1995 as an
appendix to Roberto Pinotti's book, "UFO: Top Secret", whose author had
obtained them from Russian ufologist Boris Shurinov and then had even turned
them over to Italian political and military authorities.

PROJECT 1954
With the completion of the third volume of the Operazione Origini
(“Operation Originsö) book series dedicated this time around to the year of the
“ghost rocketsö (e.g., 1946), Giuseppe Stilo has begun the work on his planned next
tome concentrating on the great wave of sightings in 1954.
In conjunction with these activities, the Italian Center for UFO Studies
(CISU) has proposed that foreign colleagues participate in an international
project of in-depth research, for the purpose of sharing archival resources and study
capacities by each national organization and numerous scholars around the
world.
Thus was born "Project 1954", an Internet-based, coordinated effort onto
which fifty or so researchers from over twenty-five countries have signed on, in
the last few weeks. There are three objectives in mind, each respectively focused on
the following: the heavy caseload of sightings from that year; the gathering and
systematic analysis of the documentation of that era; and the re-examination
of all studies and the subsequent body of work relative to the subject.
