This secret NATO HTA mine-tracker was tested and filmed at Cellina river bed test site near Aviano NATO air base. It is using the coanda effect with jet propulsion which was first demonstrated in the fifties by John Frost with Avro VZ-9-AV Avrocar. For a closer look at the exact place it was hovering on the video go to Google: then choose "Maps" and enter cordinates in "Search maps: 46.13701,12.683201 Then choose "satelite" and zoom in. The Nato cameraman was filming from the east river side.
It was launched at coordinates 46.140872,12.678566 and flew 2 miles south then 2 miles west and landed safely at Aviano Nato air base.
It is clearly visible in front of the Experimental Flight Hangar at Aviano Nato Air Base: Go to Google Maps and enter cordinates in "search maps": 46.040591,12.606849
Then choose "satellite" and zoom in.
if this video were fake its a hell of a job to do so many keframes to animate the ufo and keep it in syncro with the foreground movement, im a visual effects producer and i know what im talking about CGI (computer generated images) are so hard to give them a real look, even in expensive movie productions sometimes you can tell they are not real sometimes they look cheesse, this one looks great
This isn't an Italian Air Force video. This is an evident hoax shown on TV during the program "Studio Aperto".
The blobs of light which show an apex of beam angles were made by anti-aircraft shells
Initially the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but it was later suggested to be a lost weather balloon, a blimp, a Japanese fire balloon or psychological warfare technique, staged for the benefit of coastal industrial sites, or even an extraterrestrial aircraft. The true nature of the object or objects remains unknown.
Pilots of the 4th Interceptor Command were alerted but their aircraft remained grounded. The artillery fire continued sporadically until 4:14 a.m. The objects were said to have taken about 20 minutes to have moved from over Santa Monica to above Long Beach.
Editor Peter Jenkins of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner reported, "I could clearly see the V formation of about 25 silvery planes overhead moving slowly across the sky toward Long Beach." Long Beach Police Chief J.H. McClelland said[1] "I watched what was described as the second wave of planes from atop the seven-story Long Beach City Hall. I did not see any planes but the younger men with me said they could. An experienced Navy observer with powerful Carl Zeiss binoculars said he counted nine planes in the cone of the searchlight. He said they were silver in color.

It definitely seems to block the searchlight beams. The small light circles around it - are they supposed to be air bursts from the artillery? Never heard anyone describe them as lights on the craft. In fact the newspaper articles didn't describe it as anything.
Normally, they'd scramble some jets, and they alerted a squadron, but they remained grounded. They were described as 'objects' (note the plural) and they were moving but slowly.
To me theories they were balloons seem silly. Balloons don't block searchlights or fly in echelon.
I have a bit of suspicion that someone knew what they were - thus the decision not to scramble some planes. It seems strange to just start a barrage before identifying what was flying.

The number and variety of reports, pretty much all of which are conflicting, indicate that there's a very good chance there was nothing in the air over LA that night but AAA bursts and searchlight beams. The reports were coming from a panicked populace. Remember the Halloween broadcast of War of the Worlds? People were reporting Martians in their backyard!

Then we have the classic 'zoom off' into the distance. To me, there's several 'tells', though it is pretty well done.
