The Latin world has certainly taken the lead when it comes to the topic of UFO disclosure.

One nation that has taken bold steps in this regards is Italy.

The official website of the Italian Air Force has a specific section relating to the UFO phenomena and allows members of the public to file reports.

Recently, Roberto Di Giorgio, head of general security for the Italian Air force commented that at least 38 cases recorded by the Air Force have no explanation. He stressed 'We cannot rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence (in relation to these sightings).

According to Italy's prime UFO research organisation, The National UFO Centre, the Italian Air Force has revealed to ufologists that it has around 400 separate detailed reports on UFO incidents dating back to 1979.

These figures were presented for the first time last week at a conference 'Reality of the UFO phenomena'.

'This is not a paranormal topic rather one that involves scientific and documented proof' noted the National UFO Centre's director Roberto Pinotti.

Is this a tactic by Italy to use open alien presence as a chance to regain Rome's position as a world superpower? Will the Latin world, by taking the lead on this issue, end up leaving the English speaking nations, that refuse to divulge what they know on the topic, behind in a new galactic reality.
