UFO. Italy

Discussions about "flying saucers" as it is known, is now very fashionable. And then from different countries of the world have reported flashed in the sky "unidentified flying objects". Someone says that right on it for 10 minutes hung "saucer," someone excitedly proves the existence of aliens from extraterrestrial worlds.

But for many participants, stormy verbal battles remain a mystery time and place of occurrence of the term "flying saucer," says the Roman newspaper "Tempo". It strongly argues that for the first time the expression "flying saucer" appeared in the treatise of a certain Francesco Barzini issued in 1676 Florentine printing house "Vangelisti e Mattina". This small treatise was a long name "a summary of events associated with an unusual source of light appeared over the whole Tuscany and in many other places in Italy on the evening of 31 March, 1676".

Francesco Barzini involved in order not to starve to death, sale of umbrellas, the audience did nazzari "the person with strangenesses". The strangeness of it was that he was insanely passionate about astronomy. From documents of the era reveal that Barzini was "the astronomer and philosopher of the ancient city of Florence." Unfortunately, the treatise disappeared during the flood of 4 November 1966

But in the catalogue of the famous Florentine bookshop "L. Gonnelli e Fili", founded in 1875, the message of the treatise Barzini marked "extremely interesting." It preserved an extract from the treatise, which States:

"In the evening of day 31 month March year 1676 in the sky of Tuscany appeared luminous body in the form of a plate or sack of grain, and maybe a bundle, but having a rounded shape, which in the blink of an eye moved from the Adriatic to the Mediterranean sea. At the same time there was a few explosions..."

The compiler of the catalogue left in the fields marked "Absolutely certain that the description of the UFO, the expression "plate" is used for the first time in the world."
