What the record resolves

A suit

The record carries a garment, a helmet or an enclosure. The body inside it is not described.

A metre tall, grey suits, leather-like helmets, and not confirmed as official-record wording.

The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

UNVERIFIED

No document is attached yet. The retrieval is open work.

What is not settled

The weakest provenance in the Iberia/Italy set. A research lead, not a documented case. First formal investigation was 1972, eighteen years after. The official documents repeatedly invoked have never been produced. Requires the 1954 register of the Stazione Carabinieri di Bucine.
