Subject: Italian UFO Centre
Greetings,
Italy's National UFO Center (CUN) is the most serious Italian
UFO organisation since 1965; our president is Mr. Roberto
Pinotti; we publish every month 'UFO Notiziario'; our web page
is:
www.cun-italia.net.
Our philosophy...
About C.U.N.
Centro Ufologico Nazionale: Italy's National UFO Centre
For sometime now, the acronym UFO, coined nearly fifty years ago
by the United States Air Force, has been used to denote a
technical term for ("Unidentified Flying Objects").
This was done in order to have a certain detachment from the
picturesque term "flying saucers", which originated with pilot
Kenneth Arnold on June 24th 1947 with his first sighting of
these objects . UFO has thus become an integral part of our
common everyday vocabulary. The initials UFO have even been
added to dictionaries among the new phrases and has become
synonymous with a unique and mysterious event mostly belonging
to the science fiction realm and which is imagined by thousands
of people. This made it a phenomena completely unrelated the
daily reality that surrounds us, an extraterrestrial reality.
Popular polls in America and Europe tell us that, not only young
people, but also a high percentage of adults, among cultured,
high income earning adults, are very sensitive to the problem
and its implications; while those who are indifferent and
skeptical are fast becoming the minority. From all this comes
the need to supply correct information to the general public who
are somewhat out of the circle of the passionately involved and
who are asking for more information and rightfully so.
For more of thirty years, through the Center Ufologico Italiano
(CUN) and by way of its respected and reputable image, we , at
"Notiziario UFO" and now "UFO Notiziario", are addressing this
controversial problem in Italy. Ours has been a labor of much
research, of evaluation and investigation that has demystified
many cases. All this has helped us earn the support of the
authorities, of the mass media and of the general public, but
likewise the aversion of whose who, by their myopic vision based
primarily on conventional science and religion, claim to have
all the answers to the universe.
In the meantime, in these thirty years, there has emerged a
great deal of evidence and reliable data that we can verify that
makes this UFO reality more of a certainty. Today with this
Internet Network, our new approach must put aside the logical,
traditional and practical which is rather limiting to our
interested readers, in order to leave the field open for a new
open, investigative approach to the problem.
The problem, in fact, is not only to address the discussion
(Ufological and various other connected phenomenon) with techno-
scientific terms but to be able to give some answers to these
many questions by informing, using more appropriately, suitable
terms the ever more growing population who believes it has all
the facts and also has all the answers to them.
This is not and will never be a web-magazine dedicated to
mysteries and the inconclusive solutions to them. Let's leave it
to the various other publications that combine astrology, magic,
the esoteric, with parapsychology and the like with the UFO
phenomenon. This is because it is now evident that this
phenomenon is separate and distinct from a strictly human
sphere, both traditionally and physiologically different, and it
concerns other explanations that science and technology are not
able to furnish to the questions so many people ask.
Are we alone in the Universe? Are we being visited by extra
terrestrial beings? Have these particular visits occurred in the
past? What role do they play in our regards? How do these
intelligences view us? What are the implications and
consequences from contact with creatures from other worlds? What
waits us in the Cosmos that lies beyond the Earth?
To these mysteries which push each of us to the end of this
millennium and which take us beyond our cultural boundaries of
language, religion and political thought, we will attempt to
give clear and precise answers.We will publish all the news that
we believe to be accurate and credible as reliable information
and most of all we will publish it in a positive light , being
always aware that people in this field of research wish to have
the uncomfortable truth rather than a reassuring lie.
Lastly, these pages remain open for whichever text, information,
news event that could interest the public within the perimeters
that we have here established, without biases of any kind.
Best wishes from Italy,
Alfredo Lissoni
