Aeronautica Militare OVNI Annual Report 2018

Italian Air Force Stato Maggiore annual UFO summary for calendar year 2018, logging five OVNI reports across March, June, July, and December.

Brief

The Reparto Generale Sicurezza of the Stato Maggiore dell'Aeronautica tabulates 2018 sightings forwarded by Carabinieri and citizens: a 25 March 03:25 sphere over Atrani (SA) that open sources tied to the Soyuz MS-08 third-stage reentry but which the Air Force could not confirm, a 50-60 point-light formation over Montello (BG) on 30 June at 23:05, a daylight 15 July sighting at Rollo (Andora Marina, SV), and a 19 December 10:27 Zulu white/blue object at 10,000 ft over the Sicily Channel reported by a Portuguese Air Force officer. A fifth case, Corio and Rocca Canavese (TO) on 6 June at 23:00, was resolved when air defense data showed a military aircraft on a training mission in the area. Four cases were catalogued as O.V.N.I; only the Corio event was attributed to known flight activity.

Most interesting

The Italian Air Force tested a popular open-source explanation (Soyuz MS-08 third-stage reentry over Atrani) against its own flight and meteorological data and declined to adopt it, keeping the case as O.V.N.I.
One of the five 2018 reports came from a Portuguese Air Force officer flying over the Sicily Channel, the only sighting logged in Zulu time with precise coordinates (36°13.3' N, 017°52.3' E) and a 10,000 ft altitude.
The 30 June Montello (BG) report of 50 to 60 luminous points in formation is the only mass-light-array case in the 2018 file.
The Corio and Rocca Canavese (TO) light was resolved to a military training flight using air defense radar tracks, demonstrating the same evaluation pipeline used to clear the other four cases produced no hit.
Eight of the twelve months of 2018 produced zero citizen reports forwarded to Stato Maggiore.
