On June 18, 1979, then-sergeant pilot Giancarlo Cecconi (born in 1933 in Florence) was returning from a photographic survey carried out Ligurian Apennines. He was flying the area between Rovigo and Colli di Abano Terme, when he received by radio from the control tower's military S. Angelo di Treviso, where he was stationed, the invitation to connect with aerobase of Istrana (TV), whose radar had indicated an unidentified flying object, about the vertical di Quinto di Treviso and then in the immediate vicinity of aforementioned airport.
Mr. Cecconi, who belonged to the 14 'Group 2' Fighter Bomber Wing Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, was on a G 91 / R, with four cameras, Vinten, located in this way: two sides of the front of the cockpit, one in the front and the fourth in ventral position. With this fact, had conducted surveys which had been commissioned photography. So he agreed with the staff of the control on the ground to go to identify the object detected by radar.
At the time of the sighting, flashed across the mind that solar could be a UFO, then realized it was something different. The day was beautiful and soon realized that the "black spot" had very different characteristics. The
appeared in the form of "fuel tank" in matt black, and slightly flattened on its top, he noticed a fairing with two "whiskers" that underlies something clear and white, in his view, was a kind of "dome" of milky white. The surface characteristics did not allow the refraction of light. The object seemed to have a length of about 6-8 m and a width of about 3 m.
At the time of close with the unusual "aircraft", that is perpendicular to the military airport of Treviso at a height of about 1300 m.
made contact with the UFO, took a first set of photographs with the front car and having done over a short time, the "loop" (maneuver that is to invert the route), noted that the object was still in the same position, so that he could take another series of photographs this time using the machines side.
he understood to be something with a certain rigidity and deduced from the fact that when the plane was approaching at a speed of 300 knots (450-500 km / h), the subject "... turbulence does not accuse anyone .... " The pilot had been able to see, in altre occasioni degli UFO Solar. Essi però, sentivano la turbolenza provocata dal vicino passaggio dell’aereo e il loro movimento poteva durare anche un quarto d’ora; questo oggetto invece, risultava mantenersi statico e non vibrava nonostante il signor Cecconi gli fosse passato ad una distanza di un centinaio di metri.
Durante l’avvistamento , che durò circa cinque minuti, il signor Cecconi ebbe modo di scattare più di ottanta fotografie che riprendevano l’oggetto sempre nella stessa posizione frontale, o leggermente angolata; infatti, questo non era mai visibile completamente di lato, era come se la “cosa” volesse “puntare” l’aereo.
Secondo l’opinione del testimone sembrava avesse assunto un atteggiamento di difesa. Non esponeva mai del tutto la fiancata e lui non era mai riuscito a fotografarlo interamente di lato; per questo ne rimase impressionato.
Mentre il pilota stava completando una virata, il centro radar d’Istrana, gli comunico: “l’abbiamo perduto! Non c’è più sullo screen. " Had suddenly vanished from the radar and the other a joke.
Even the control tower of St. Angelo told him that the object had inexplicably disappeared from view in a few moments. He looked at the point where he would have found the UFO, but saw him no more.
After the plane was returned to the base of Treviso, specialists, as usual, removed and took over the film containers and carried them to the laboratory of the Department for Development and press.
As soon as the photos were developed, took in a vision and asked a friend (assigned to the photo lab) to have a copy.
over the years and after that Mr. Cecconi retired, ufologists asked the Ministry of Defence to release the records of this case, and was told that "the object in question, immediately identified, was photographed with the cars board and unequivocally identified by staff photo interpreter in a balloon of cylindrical shape, made of black plastic bags. ". The answer left
ufologists shocked, especially considering the experience and the preparation of Mr. Cecconi which boasted a curriculum as a few figures and was one of the best known and respected as a pilot for their professionalism and competence.
