Aeronautica Militare

Component of Ministero della Difesa

Italy's air force — the state's designated UFO-report collector since 1978, and one of the few that publishes its annual sighting summaries proactively.

No scorecard yet

Aletheca has not filed with this body, so there is nothing to measure. A zero here would read as “releases nothing” rather than “never asked”, which is why the row is absent instead of empty. Filing outside the United States is not yet supported, so for now this record is for reading and routing.

How it takes requests

  2. 02mailPostal mailunconfirmed

    Stato Maggiore Aeronautica — Reparto Generale Sicurezza, Viale dell'Università 4, 00185 Roma

Routes marked verified were fetched and confirmed against the body’s own official pages; those marked unconfirmed are well documented but have not been checked here, and none has been proven by a delivered letter. Aletheca cannot yet originate a request outside the United States — this record exists so a request about these holdings can be routed to the right door.

What it holds

  • Annual OVNI sighting summaries published since 1972 on the Air Force's own site
  • Investigation files of the Reparto Generale Sicurezza, Italy's designated UFO-report collector since 1978
  • Sighting reports lodged through Carabinieri stations

Record classes this kind of body normally keeps. Useful for drafting a request a records officer can act on without guessing — a request describing records the agency does not hold is refused as no-records, which costs a filing fee and teaches nobody anything.

Filing tips

  • The annual summaries are already public — download them from the OVNI page before filing an accesso civico request for the underlying files.
  • Sightings are reported on the official form through the nearest Carabinieri station; the Air Force investigates for flight safety.
