UFO (Editor's Note: Since we published the alleged UFO film Italian Air Force UFO, we have received many email responses. I have not published them because there are simply too many. Suffice it to say, opinion was pretty much divided. Some think that the film was a total hoax, some think that it is a real object, whether terrestrial or extraterrestrial. Well, patience seemed to pay off, as the real story behind the film is now known. Here is the information that should clear up most of the questions.}
Information gleaned from the Virtual Updates boards:
This is an old footage released by researcher Paola Harris in the US at the MUFON Symposium in 2005 and also at the IUFOC in Laughlin. Paola lives in Italy and is a prominent researcher and journalist.
The YouTube and Google copies were taken from Paola's lecture at MUFON 2005 that is for sale on DVD. According to Paola, a seventh generation copy was given to her in Italy by an anonimous source under mysterious circumstances.
There are still many obscure issues surrounding this footage and the case remains unclear. Paola Harris asked me to forward her response to this controversy.

The Truth
This old film footage I have been showing for 3 years and it was given to us, Italian Researchers... not by the Air force. It is our technology. with the help of Rob and Rebecca Gordon, we were able to examine the film footage in a Hollywood Special Effects Studio and it is a real object in the video. It was a 7th generation - copied 7 times - cassette. It was given to us with no explantion. It has been shown in my MUFON and Laughlin Presentations and someone put it on You-TUBE and Google!
This all takes place in the Veneto region of Italy at a place called Ponte di Giulio, near Aviano NATO Base. It is a dry river bed where the military does maneuvers and the photographer was on a tripod waiting for the object to come out of the woods. I doubt aliens appeared there!
