2006 saw a lower number of UFO news published in Italian newspapers.
For the third consecutive year, the Eco della Stampa (Press Echo) agency collected less than 600 newsclippings (containing the word “UFO”) and that last year had the minimum figure (516 items) in the descending curve after 2002, while the average number of UFO news per year had remained around 1,000 all through the ‘90s.
The Press Archive of the Italian Center for UFO Studies has been collecting all news items published in our country since 1946. Tables of the monthly distribution for the whole collection are available on CISU webpage www.cisu.org/ecotot.htm.

Spanish ufologist Rafael Farriols died in Barcelona, on 27 December 2006.
Born in 1928, a renowned businessman and an active ufologist since the ‘60s, he had long been known as a dedicated collector of any documentation about the “Ummo affair” (the hundreds of letters sent by self-proclaimed aliens to Spanish ufologists for decades), a subject Farriols organized the very first congress upon, in 1971.
In 1969 he wrote with Antonio Ribera a book titled “Un caso perfecto” (A Perfect Case) about a complex series of sightings and photographs taken near Madrid in 1967, and a translation was published in Italy, too.
