Brief
Italy's Aeronautica Militare formalised an OVNI investigation procedure in 1979 and has published annual case summaries on its official aeronautica.difesa.it website since 2001. Any citizen may file a report through the Carabinieri; the Italian Air Force investigates and logs cases that resist conventional explanation as confirmed OVNI sightings. Annual reports list filed cases by region, classification, and outcome, and the database is publicly accessible on the Italian Air Force's official .difesa.it domain.
