1 00:00:06,829 --> 00:00:03,050 at the stadio artemio Frankie on the 2 00:00:09,230 --> 00:00:06,839 27th of October 1954 a crowd of around 3 00:00:11,690 --> 00:00:09,240 10 000 people gathered to watch a 4 00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:11,700 reserve match between Fiorentina and 5 00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,580 nearby team pistorizi but the match was 6 00:00:21,170 --> 00:00:17,039 interrupted by the most unlikely of 7 00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:21,180 visitors UFOs which some described as 8 00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:24,779 flying saucers Luigi Bonnie was watching 9 00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,640 as a fan of that day he never missed the 10 00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:29,039 Florentina game and later in life became 11 00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:31,380 the coordinator of the club's supporters 12 00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:39,049 I remember clearly seeing this 13 00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:41,700 incredible site they were moving very 14 00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,640 fast and then they've just stopped it 15 00:00:49,369 --> 00:00:46,800 all lasted a couple of minutes I would 16 00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:49,379 like to describe them as being like 17 00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,020 Cuban cigars they just reminded me of 18 00:00:57,950 --> 00:00:55,280 Cuban cigars in the way they looked 19 00:01:01,130 --> 00:00:57,960 I think they were extraterrestrial 20 00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:01,140 objects that's what I believe yeah and 21 00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:08,570 was just an incredible unbelievable 22 00:01:15,469 --> 00:01:11,880 situation it wasn't just some strange 23 00:01:19,850 --> 00:01:15,479 event it was definitely something it was 24 00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:27,550 foreign 25 00:01:33,649 --> 00:01:30,649 Otti is the leading Italian scholar in 26 00:01:37,789 --> 00:01:33,659 ufology based in Florence he's been 27 00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:37,799 fascinated by the sightings is a rather 28 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,180 curious because you know the story The 29 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:44,479 Players and the public 30 00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:48,720 simply were a standard seeing these 31 00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:52,140 objects over the stadium and so the the 32 00:01:58,850 --> 00:01:55,020 football match was interrupted it is a 33 00:02:02,149 --> 00:01:58,860 real fact at the same time while the 34 00:02:04,609 --> 00:02:02,159 flying saucers they call the UFOs this 35 00:02:08,510 --> 00:02:04,619 in that time were seen over the stadium 36 00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:08,520 Over Florence there was the falling of a 37 00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:11,400 strange substance in England ufologists 38 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:15,360 call this Angel's air in the French 39 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,720 called this field of years the only 40 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:21,120 problem is that after a brief period of 41 00:02:27,850 --> 00:02:24,319 time it vaporized or disintegrated 42 00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:27,860 nobody up to this moment knows exactly 43 00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:31,980 what this strange substance has to do 44 00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:35,459 with UFOs but the same phenomenon 45 00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:39,180 repeated only a few days later in jail 46 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:42,540 in Sicily and a lot of other times in 47 00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:46,080 other parts of the world and is surely a 48 00:02:51,949 --> 00:02:48,360 strange phenomenon Associated to the 49 00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:51,959 Youth of phenomenon and I re remember in 50 00:03:01,610 --> 00:02:57,300 broad daylight to have seen some of the 51 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:01,620 roofs of the houses in Florence 52 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:05,360 um whitened with this substance 53 00:03:13,369 --> 00:03:09,120 no more than one hour because like snow 54 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:14,990 foreign 55 00:03:29,149 --> 00:03:25,610 TV resumed broadcasting after the second 56 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,159 world war but the Fiorentina UFOs and 57 00:03:34,729 --> 00:03:31,920 The Unexplained angel hair went largely 58 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:34,739 unreported there is however an old 59 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:38,040 Cinema newsreel showing flying saucers 60 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:40,680 and the Mysterious substance which fell 61 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,680 from the sky at talasa's Professor 62 00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:46,080 panotti told me it's merely a 63 00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,570 so what about the footballers who were 64 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:55,920 playing that day back at the stadio 65 00:04:02,390 --> 00:03:59,040 artemio Frankie fiorentina's adiko 66 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,400 manini and romolo Tucci of pistueze now 67 00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:04,560 in their 70s and 80s gave me their 68 00:04:14,089 --> 00:04:11,270 I remember everything from A to Z I have 69 00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:14,099 my own personal version of events others 70 00:04:19,370 --> 00:04:16,260 may remember it in a different way 71 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,380 whatever it was it could have been an 72 00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:21,680 alien it could have been something 73 00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:25,199 extraterrestrial whatever it was I don't 74 00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:28,680 know it's difficult for me to say but it 75 00:04:33,710 --> 00:04:31,680 was definitely something strange while 76 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:33,720 we were playing the match everything 77 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:36,479 came to a stop because everybody was 78 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,080 looking up at the sky intensely it was 79 00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:42,479 something that looked like an egg that 80 00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:46,639 was moving slowly slowly slowly 81 00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:49,860 everyone was looking up and also there 82 00:04:55,129 --> 00:04:51,840 was some glitter coming down from the 83 00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,139 sky silver glitter we all were so 84 00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:57,840 astonished but once the incident was 85 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:00,240 over we just started playing the match 86 00:05:10,969 --> 00:05:08,450 I was so curious and I was also so so 87 00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:10,979 happy because In Those Years everybody 88 00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:13,320 was talking about aliens everybody was 89 00:05:18,650 --> 00:05:15,720 talking UFOs and we had the experience 90 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,660 we saw them we saw them directly for 91 00:05:23,950 --> 00:05:21,120 real so for you there's no doubt that 92 00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:27,529 yes yes I really believe so we saw them 93 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:30,500 we were at the stadium and we saw them 94 00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:34,880 it was such a great thing to see 95 00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:38,160 at that time of course the newspapers 96 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,000 spoke about this 97 00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:44,639 this occupants May Come From Mars of 98 00:05:52,969 --> 00:05:48,240 course we know that it is not so but in 99 00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:52,979 any case as far as we may conclude 100 00:06:01,550 --> 00:05:58,740 well after more or less 70 years of the 101 00:06:04,730 --> 00:06:01,560 existence of this phenomenon what is 102 00:06:07,150 --> 00:06:04,740 sure is that it is an intelligent 103 00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:07,160 phenomenon a technological phenomenon 104 00:06:13,490 --> 00:06:10,380 and in any case is this a phenomenon 105 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:13,500 which cannot be linked to anything we 106 00:06:19,370 --> 00:06:16,800 know on Earth that's all from where the 107 00:06:22,610 --> 00:06:19,380 it comes 108 00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:22,620 the intentions everything we may speak 109 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,220 late but this is the facts of course at 110 00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:28,800 this time the Cold War was at its height 111 00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:30,060 yeah yeah 112 00:06:34,610 --> 00:06:31,680 could it not be there was just a 113 00:06:37,969 --> 00:06:34,620 hysteria created at that time which 114 00:06:42,290 --> 00:06:37,979 explains these phenomena yeah no this 115 00:06:44,450 --> 00:06:42,300 must be completely excluded because you 116 00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:44,460 see Mass hysteria is of course a 117 00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:47,340 possibility nobody can can exclude 118 00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:51,780 anything but facts are facts and most of 119 00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:55,560 all it is important to to underline that 120 00:07:01,550 --> 00:06:56,360 the 121 00:07:06,409 --> 00:07:01,560 Witnesses were journalists officers of 122 00:07:07,210 --> 00:07:06,419 all of the Navy over the the the army of 123 00:07:18,490 --> 00:07:07,220 the 124 00:07:21,529 --> 00:07:18,500 it is absolutely 125 00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:21,539 trustworthy so given all your research 126 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,360 on this issue what do you think the 127 00:07:29,629 --> 00:07:26,400 people at that football ground on that 128 00:07:33,409 --> 00:07:29,639 autumn day in October what did they say 129 00:07:38,089 --> 00:07:33,419 no I simply know the event was 130 00:07:41,809 --> 00:07:38,099 absolutely real and besides if you 131 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:41,819 simply could see the newspapers of that 132 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,360 period you should understand that not 133 00:07:50,589 --> 00:07:48,240 only this event but all also the other 134 00:07:54,050 --> 00:07:50,599 events of the period impressed the 135 00:07:56,210 --> 00:07:54,060 Italians in an incredible way frankly 136 00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:56,220 many 137 00:08:01,610 --> 00:08:00,660 um probably for the first time began to 138 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:01,620 think 139 00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:05,360 we are not alone really and that 140 00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:09,599 something else is upstairs is up there 141 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:11,840 and of course you understand 142 00:08:21,170 --> 00:08:16,740 we cannot draw any conclusion but uh
