Initial data
Pilot Riccardo Marano was about to land at Caselle airport, Turin, Italy, in a Piper Navajo when a dispatcher notified him that there was a UFO about 400 meters (1,320 feet) above the runway.
He looked up and saw a glowing multicolored ball of light, changing color from purple to blue to dark red.
"As I got closer and got a better view," he said, "the object immediately flew away, flying completely irregularly, maneuvering in a way that no aircraft had ever seen, making fantastic sideways deviations and sudden huge jumps back and forth, as if it liked to play hide - and - seek. Its speed reached 900 km per hour [540 mph]."
Colonel Rusticelli, commandant of the Caselle military airfield, said he saw a UFO on his radar screen.
"It was something solid, lit up like a plane on my radar."
Commander Tranquillo, pilot of the Alitalia Air Line DC-9 airliner EN route from Turin to Rome, called the control tower:
"I see a shining creature, emitting intermittent flashes of light, four miles away. I don't dare to approach. I concede.»
The Mezzalami commander from another Alitalia DC-9 aircraft said:
"I was able to observe an object notified by the control tower when I was about to land. I saw him clearly ... I can't offer any theories as to its meaning, and I can only say that it really was something very strange."

Summary: Pilot Riccardo Marano was about to land at Caselle Airport, Turin Italy, in a Piper Navajo, when the controller notified him that there was a UFO about 400 meters (1,320 feet) above the runway. He looked and saw a luminous, multicolored ball of light changing from violet to blue to dark red. “When I got closer and had a better view,” he said, “the object at once made off, flying in a most irregular fashion, maneuvering in a way I have seen no plane do, making fantastic lateral deviations, and sudden vast jumps to and fro, as if it enjoyed playing hide-and-seek. Its speed was as high as 900 km per hour [540 mph].” Col. Rustichelli, commandant of the Caselle military airfield, said he had seen the UFO on his own radar screen. “It was something solid, lit up, like a plane on my radar.” Commander Tranquillo, pilot of an Alitalia Air Line DC-9 en route from Turin to Rome, called to the control tower: “I see a shining thing giving out intermittent flashes of light, four miles from me. I dare not approach. I give way.” Commander Mezzalami in another Alitalia DC-9 said: “I was able to observe the object – – – notified by the control tower just as I was about to touch down. I had a good view of it….I can offer no theories as to its significance, and can only say that it was something very strange indeed. (66)
