Reports of 1954 UFo sightings over Vatican, Roma
 
 http://members.tripod.com/ancientknightsc/id164.htm

 On September 21, [1954] thousands of people in Rome, including military and
 civilian pilots and high-ranking government officials, watched a cigar-shaped
 craft maneuver over the city. More importantly, the object was tracked on radar.
 Here was just the sort of case that skeptics often demanded, yet because it
 happened in Italy, it has remained virtually unknown in this country.

 Unfortunately, the Rome incident was neither a landing-trace case nor an occupant
 sighting report. Like most UFO sightings, it was just a report of a strange craft
 seen in the sky. Despite the added corroboration of radar tracking, this was
 essentially just a sighting report.

 in Rome the 6/11/1954, I was witness of an awful manifestation of flying disks.
 It had already happened to other before I of see these apparatuses in the skies of
 the Earth, but the business extraordinary and inexplicable that happened the
 6/11/1954 was the apparition, in the imminent sky the Vatican City, of a big
 formation of these objects to "Greek cross" (or big X) of well forty disks (ten for
 each arm of the cross).
 The day November 7, about fifty of these apparatuses returned on Rome and
 there remained for about two hours and half, finishing a long series of evolutions.»

 In this same year of 1954, thousands of witnesses were able to observe, from the
 end of October to the beginning of November, several tens of luminous points 
 flying over Rome, grouped in a V-shape or a diamond-shape and even an "enormous
 Saint Andrew’s cross" (X) after two V-shapes comprising some twenty UFOs, coming
 from the east and west respectively, had joined together above the Vatican
