HESSDALEN: A CRITICAL ARTICLE
The Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen (CIPH) has announced the
publication on its Website of a new article about the mission conducted
last summer in Norway, related to the studies on recurring light phenomena
which, for twenty years, have been the focus of systematic and
instruments-based observations.
The text, written by physicist and ufologist Matteo Leone (Ph.D.),
concentrates on an optical survey carried out by some Italian physicists
during the EMBLA expedition which, based on a previous analysis of the
photometric and spectroscopic data by Massimo Teodorani, was related to an
unknown atmospheric light phenomenon "capable of producing a light-power up
to 100 Kw."
Leone's article examines the same data, but it arrives at a differing
conclusion and suggests a conventional explanation for the phenomena
observed and photographed, while confirming that other witness data
gathered in the region are indicative of unidentifiable phenomena.

CORSO'S DIARY PUBLISHED IN ITALY
The Pendragon publishing house in Bologna is sending to bookstores the
much-ballyhooed diary of Philip Corso, published for the first time
worldwide and edited by Maurizio Baiata. The late, former U.S. Army
official recounted his version of the facts concerning reverse-engineering
and technologies derived from the analysis of an alien flying saucer
allegedly crashed in Roswell in 1947.
Its title is "L'alba di una nuova era: I segreti alieni nascosti dal
Pentagono" ("Dawn of a New Age: Alien Secrets Concealed by the Pentagon"),
totals 192 pages and sells for 14 Euro.
Beginning next week, the volume is due to be on sale also on the e-commerce
Website Upiar Store (www.upiar.com), featuring the usual discounts for
members of CISU as well as of other affiliated associations.

MOUNT MUSINE' & UFOS ON TV AT "STARGATE"
Making a return on "La7" TV but no longer featuring host Roberto Giacobbo
(who has moved over to RAI-TV), is the program "Stargate: linea di confine"
("Stargate: on the Edge"), devoted to various types of mysteries.
Unless otherwise announced, it is scheduled to touch upon UFOs and
recurring light apparitions in the installment of Sunday, 27 April, taking
its cue from a Mexican documentary but with a segment devoted also to
Monte Musine' which, at the beginning of Susa valley (nera Turin), has for
decades been at the center of a highly-developed ufological, archaeological
and esoteric mythology.
[Collaboration by Angelo Galbiati and Luigi Sorgno]
Collaborators on this edition were:
Renzo Cabassi, Angelo Galbiati, Roberto Labanti,
