Liguria is the Capital of the UFOs in Italy, after the Pier Fortunato Zanfretta file. At that times he was a night guardian in Liguria, and he sustains he has lived, between 1978 and 1981, 11 episodes of meetings with alien beings. He describes these aliens as being grey, tall almost three meters, with great yellow triangular eyes.



The problem of regressive hypnosis ? Lies from an unconscious mind?

The conflicting opinions of the experts The psychoanalysts Mauro Moretti and Caesar Musatti, that Zanfrettas submitted to sessions of regressive hypnosis, affirmed that the declarations around such events would be done in good faith. On the other side, Roberto Pinotti and Henry Baccarini of the Center Ufologico Nazionale (CUN), also holding important the "case Zanfretta", they wrote on UFO Notiziario that the hypnosis would irremediably have been polluted by the intrusion of an enquirer, Luciano Boccone.

The regressive hypnosis is considered generally a method a great deal are not trustable, since it is easy for the experimenter "to feed" the patient with false memories. This type of technique in fact it's not admitted anymore today in the courts. For the thesis of the forgery it also deposes the fact that the beings drawn by Zanfretta are similar to a monster of the film ?The monster of the black lagoon? of the comic strip Zagor.

The witnesses' declarations ? Something strange is really happened in Liguria

Some witnesses, among which different colleagues of Zanfretta as well as numerous residents of the communes of Torriglia in Genoa declared to have assisted to strange correlated episodes to the presumed abductions. The marshal Carlo Toccalino, that the night between 6 and December 7 th 1978 was of turn to the operator of the cooperative of guardianaggio, told for example an interview that just before the first presumed meeting, happened around the 24, Zanfretta had asked help to his colleagues via radio exclaiming: "Damn, they're too hugly! They are not men, they are NOT men!". Just in those times, some inhabitants of the near Torriglia would have seen where a strong shine in direction of the place Zanfretta it was found.

Alarmed by the interruption of the contact radio, the colleagues Walter Lauria and Raymond Mascia they put on to the search of Zanfretta: they found him tand affirmed that his body was very warm despite the cold of that night. Zanfretta was in state confusionale and feverish.

During the sopralluogo during the next day it would be noticed on the ground two horseshoe imprints having a diameter of around three meters. The thickness was of around 15 cms. Subsequently the was compiled "informative Relationship around the sighting of flying objects not identified and umanoidi from Zanfretta Fortunato"; it will be sent to the Pretura in Genoa.

A life destroyed between science and superstition in Liguria

Under hypnosis, Zanfretta told he would have suffered clinical examinations on board of an UFO. It will report, besides, that the presumed alien would have manifested the intention to move in the future on the Earth.

The history of Zanfretta has inspired, in 1984, a book joint today to its third edition, to signature of the journalist Rino Di Stephen that can be considered "the father of the Zanfretta case".

Zanfretta affirms besides that the story of that events provoked repeated and humiliating episodes of derision invading his private life: "Unknown people phone me. I don't know what I have seen, however I have seen them. I am not a liar".
