Summary
A disc-shaped craft allegedly crashed near Lombardy; Mussolini's government reportedly recovered it and classified it. David Grusch referenced this in his 2023 congressional testimony.
Detail
According to several Italian archival researchers, around 1933 a disc-shaped craft allegedly crashed near Magenta in Lombardy. Mussolini's government is said to have recovered it and kept it tightly classified, setting up a secret study group. This account has long remained at the level of rumor, lacking independently verifiable first-hand evidence. It returned to attention because former intelligence official David Grusch cited it in his 2023 congressional testimony, claiming the craft was later transferred to the United States after WWII. Note: this is an unconfirmed allegation and should be distinguished from modern events backed by official imagery.
