First pic of ‘alien’ taken inside bizarre space craft

Shocking photos are being released for the first time claiming to show a ‘human-like’ alien inside an actual space ship.

The grainy black and white photos captured in Italy are being published in an English Language book for the first time, according to UFO blog Flying Disk Press.

The book UFO Contacts in Italy, which is about so-called alien contact and abductions in the country and authored by Dr Roberto Pinotii, 73, is due to be published on February 1.

In it, staggering claims are made about a flying saucer that landed in Francavillia, Italy on the Adriatic Coast.

“Two men were allowed to enter the UFO and take photographs,” Pinotii claims.

“The diameter of the UFO was 24 metres, that of the control cabin was 10 metres.”

The photos appear to show a sort of control panel, and a human-like form wearing a mask of sorts.

Roberto Pinotti is an aerospace journalist and author and the main Italian scholar in ufology, with a degree in politics and sociology from the University of Florence, according to the Express.

The extraordinary events are said to have happened in October 1957, but the story has never been told outside of Italy until now.

Sceptics say the pictures and the case are just another elaborate hoax.
