Brief

The Reparto Generale Sicurezza of the Stato Maggiore dell'Aeronautica catalogued four UFO reports for calendar year 2025: Mazzarino (CL) on 15 February, Borgo Piave (LT) on 28 September, Pino Torinese (TO) on 15 October, and Isola di Lampedusa on 12 November. Three of the four were assessed as possibly correlated with passes of Starlink satellite formations visible in the reported area, date, and time. The Lampedusa case of 12 November 2025, a yellow light at roughly 300 metres altitude moving west-northwest, produced no correlation with known flight activity or other phenomena and was formally catalogued as O.V.N.I. The Borgo Piave report is notable as the sole entry submitted by Air Force personnel rather than a private citizen.

Most interesting

• Of four reports forwarded to the Italian Air Force in 2025, only the Lampedusa sighting survived evaluation as a genuine OVNI; the other three were tentatively attributed to Starlink satellite formations.
• The Borgo Piave (LT) case on 28 September 2025 came from Aeronautica Militare personnel, not a private citizen, and described a dark tapered object at just 70 metres altitude.
• The Pino Torinese (TO) sighting on 15 October 2025 reported a triangular object on a horizontal plane that moved in multiple directions, yet was still tentatively assessed as a possible Starlink pass.
• The Lampedusa OVNI of 12 November 2025 was a yellow light at roughly 300 metres altitude over the southernmost Italian territory in the Mediterranean.
