Pre-Photoshop UFO Photo #18 ~ Strangely Shaped UFO Flying Over Italian Beach ~ 1961

Bruno Ghibaudi, a scientific newspaper journalist, took several photographs of strange multi-winged flying crafts over the Italian beaches of Pescara along the Adriatic Sea in April 1961. Ghibaudi also states that he encountered the alien beings who piloted these crafts.

Excerpt from “La Domenica del Corriere” – April 22nd, 1962
The event took place April 27th, 1961.
I was traveling on the Adriatic National Highway on my way back from a television interview. From Ancona I was making my way to Pescara.
At approximately 7km from Pescara, near my residence in Montesilvano the cars engine died out, it wasn’t the first time my car gave me trouble. 

It was around 2:00PM, some cars passed me by as I was working on the vehicle, but nobody stopped.
Once done what I had to do I found myself looking at the sea while cleaning my hands with a rag. All of a sudden a blurring dot I noticed under the clouds caught my attention as it got bigger and bigger.
The object was coming from South-West towards me, as it approached and was in visual range I noticed it’s strange shape, an elliptical shape from where small and large triangular winglets extruded from.
The strange craft was an opaque grey color and non-reflective. It’s flight was silent and not fast at all.
Finding the “delta” shape somewhat familiar I thought maybe some American Aircraft carrier Plane nearby was having technical trouble and was trying to do an emergency landing.
I quickly opened the glove compartment to grab my camera, that is almost always with me.
Meanwhile the strange craft was getting closer and I was seeing it very clearly.
It was about 8 meters, I quickly ran across the highway and took a quick picture with my camera, without having the time to focus the object in the cameras viewfinder, since the craft was now only a few meters above the waters.
While I was getting closer to take another picture, the strange craft, without touching the ground, sped off at high speed toward the coast.
I stayed near the beach for awhile, looking around angry at the fact I had only taken 1 photo.
Suddenly, my attention was directed towards something else, high up in the sky, in the south-west direction, it seemed to be some light flares of sorts that immediately transformed into black dense spheres.
In that same instant what appeared to me to be a flying disc, perfectly round arrived in the same direction and was getting closer real fast. A few seconds later it was in range for my camera, the disc was perfectly silent, thicker in the middle while the edges were very thin.
A semi-sphere type of canopy was visible on the top of the craft, color was grey and with little light reflection.
Then the disc traveled away in the North-East direction for a few kilometers. I scanned the horizon again and noticed 2 small dots that were quickly approaching from South-West.
They were another 2 discs, once they were in visual range I snapped some more photographs and observed them for awhile.
The dimensions (about 50ft in Diameter) were about the same as the previous crafts I had observed, but the shaped were slightly different.
One of the discs in particular had 3 clear flouresent semi-sphere objects, 120 degrees from one another on the lower surface of the craft.
After awhile there were 3 discs, the 1st disc had approached and positioned itself next to the other 2 in formation.
A Second Surprise
Around me the air seemed to be on fire, I felt as if I was engulfed in an intense electrical field and was feeling very agitated.
I looked around, no one was there.
At about 200 meters some children were running on the beach, the discs meanwhile were absolutely silent, but around the craft you could see strange flares that eventual transformed into dark spheres, as observed by the 1st disc.
A few times I was under the impression that the beams were focused on me, it’s impossible to explain how I felt at that moment, a few times I was tempted to just run from there but curiosity and the fact my legs felt paralyzed kept me there.
At this moment I realized I had slipped and had fallen to the ground, on the beach, at this point I hear the 2 children on the beach had realized what was happening started to run away screaming, after a few moments the disc formation broke apart and disappeared into the distance.
I was sweating and trembling with emotion (fear).
I got back into my car and quickly made my way back to Pescara, where I immediately brought my film roll to be developed, hoping that within half an hour I would have my 1st surprise.
The negatives appeared to be deformed in some ways as if it was subjected to some sort of intense heat, but the crafts had left their indistinguishable shapes.
A few minutes later I had the photos in hand, the enlargements revealed many details which were not noticeable while looking at the negatives, I was very impressed.
Only after having inspected the photographs I realized what an incredible event I had taken part in.
The whole event took about 2 or 3 minutes if I recall correctly.
The article goes on from here briefly explaining that eventually a student from Rome called Bruno 10 days or so later explaining he too had seen the disc objects and corroborating the story, several newspapers took interest in the story but it evidently stopped there.
