The photo opening refers to the start of the Raid Pescara - Split
Fragments of history Pescara
Romano Di Bernardo
When he left the famous article by Bruno Ghibaudi on the "Settimana Incom" was September 3, 1961. In those days I was waiting for it lays down a regime of high pressure level to make the "first crossing of the Adriatic" for small boats organized by Aeneas Pagliaro (boat builder) and sponsored by the National Italian Sailors from my newspaper, "The Messenger", with the collaboration of Piaggio in Pontedera (aeronautics), the representative of the Vespa in Pescara But Salvatore roller, an oil company, the Italian Society and other marine radio Friends of the navy pescarese.Ero very involved in the trials of navigating the boat just 4 meters with which I had to take the motorboat sports Raid Pescara - Spalto 110 miles of tiny motors powered by two 3-Hp. Also my water activity and reporter for the Messenger, I was known to the citizens and the police, with whom I had very good relations, I called together to hear my opinion about the photographs posted on the service that they believed Ghibaudi fasulle.E 'I know that accurate, At this point, at that time was alien to the UFO field, even if a few years earlier I had attended along with thousands of Pescara the passage of a UFO the night of the Festival of S. Cettero. After the disappointment at the failure to publish an article of mine by writing my journal of Roman, with whom he contested the photographs published by the famous reporter of Turin, taken in preparing my company's sports, I concentrated on the list of things to do to land in Yugoslavia safe and sound with my second driver Giancarlo Bonardo.Partii the harbor, under the bridge "Risorgimento", at 19.30 on September 13 greeted by hundreds of Pescara and escorted to the mouth of the river by several boats of friends . It was already dark. After about two hours from the start, after finding that the steering system adapted by me and by technical Piaggio Bucci could not keep up, we decided to mount the helm, joining the two central wooden fuoribordo.Pensai several times during the crossing, flying saucers from the East, as he had described Ghibaudi and contemplate the starry sky in contrast with the pitch dark all around us. The speed was very low, just over 5 knots whereas the weight of the vessel more than 5 tons. I noticed that when you are tired, when you sleep, the stars seem to move continuously. You have the impression that they are dancers. This explains why so many alleged sightings of bright dots that seem unpredictable and fast-moving UFO. I was sleeping and pilot, looking at the compass to the weak light of a cell linked to the best on the roof of the deckhouse. Every now and then I could look up and fix for a moment the Stars "dancers". My friend had dozed off on the small area of \u200b\u200bthe bow. At dawn we had already traveled some forty miles, and until 2 o'clock in the afternoon we sailed into a calm sea meeting only several families of dolphins. I thought often in flying saucers and I confess that I would have liked if I had the fortune to meet and maybe take some pictures ... .... But then the thought of Francis ran to the sergeant that I had called to ask my opinion on the picture Ghibaudi. The following night, before entering the bay of Split, yet I thought the "formation of flying discs" out on the "Settimana Incom" few days before and, not to fall asleep, I thought to investigate the phenomenon of flying saucers that, apart from the event Ghibaudi, could be considered serious and worthy of study. But then, after another sip of coffee I saw an intense light right ahead. No, it was a UFO, but the city of Diocletian that awaited us. We landed at one o'clock at night. The raid was successful, and coincided with the commitment to dedicate my future to the cultural and sporting relations with the other side in the program for years and I traversata.Passarono for the nautical and historical research on the traditions and rural culture of Abruzzo. I published several books and articles in specialized journals navigation and telecommunications. Not tralasciai the cuisine of which I was always cultore.Ormai the thoughts I had almost forgotten about the UFO and I was interested in only sporadic sightings of mysterious objects until one fine day, indeed, one night of autumn 1978 I was awakened by a phone call from a friend Amateur urged me to tune the frequency of the "town band" to hear the dramatic messages that crossed between fishermen terrified by "fireballs" that followed their barche.Pochi days later there were some letters and telephone contacts between me and Roberto Pinotti and began to work with the National UFO Center ... .... AND A BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE ....
