Benito Mussolini

Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Italian fascist dictator and Prime Minister from 1922 to 1943, is linked to early UAP research through the alleged 1933 Magenta UFO crash near Milan. Following the incident involving a cylindrical craft and tall, blonde humanoid occupants, Mussolini ordered absolute silence via telegram and established the secretive Gabinetto RS/33 (Special Research Cabinet 1933) at La Sapienza University, led by Guglielmo Marconi, to investigate and reverse-engineer the technology. The craft was stored at SIAI-Marchetti hangars in Vergiate, with bodies preserved in formalin. This program fueled Axis interest in advanced tech, predating Roswell by 14 years. Claims resurfaced in David Grusch's 2023 testimony alleging Vatican and U.S. involvement in recovering the craft post-WWII. No known publications by Mussolini exist; involvement stems from declassified fascist UFO files published by Roberto Pinotti in 2000.
