According to the publisher Flying Disk Press, photographs of the "humanoid alien" and "the control panel inside the flying saucer" are being published for the first time in an English-language book.
Mirrored black and white images inside the cab with seats, control panel and other objects.
The photo also features an image of a man wearing sunglasses who is believed to be none other than a real alien.
According to sensational claims in the book "UFO Contacts in Italy" in the chapter dealing with so-called aliens and abductions in the country, this flying saucer landed in Francavillia, Italy on the Adriatic coast.
Dr. Roberto Pinoti, 73, author of a book due to be published on February 1, spoke about what really happened.
According to him, “Two people were admitted to the UFO and took a series of pictures. The diameter of the UFO was approximately 24 meters, and the central cabin was 10 meters.
"These rare and sensational UFO photographs, as well as two photographs of the alleged extraterrestrial pilot … have been published for the first time."

These events took place back in October 1957, but until now this story has never been told outside of Italy.
He added: “Most of the information in this book is being published for the first time in English.
“The book contains a whole host of UFO and alien incidents in Italy, but certainly one of the most unusual incidents is this 1957 film.
“This is the only case I know of that there are photographs inside a UFO.
“What was destined to be called the 'Affair of Friendship' began near Pescara between 1956 and 1957.
“A group of local residents seem to have engaged in periodic and regular contact with humanoid extraterrestrial 'friends' wishing to help humanity.
"These creatures have built underground bases on Earth, and in Italy the most important would be in the central zone of the peninsula along the Adriatic coast near Pescara."
It is alleged that the "contact" in the area has continued for 20 years, and even the Italian diplomat Consul Alberto Perego witnessed these events.
Skeptics immediately appeared and began to tell everyone that these photographs and the "Case of Friendship" were another hoax.
Publisher Phillip Mantle said: “Roberto Pinotti is an aerospace journalist, author and chief Italian scientist in ufology, with a degree in politics and sociology from the University of Florence.
"He is the only living founder of the Italian Centro Ufologico Nazionale (CUN), one of the oldest and most respected private research organizations of the UFO, established 50 years ago."
He was previously an officer in the NATO III Army's missile brigade.
He claims to have collaborated with the Italian intelligence community as a UFO consultant and received important white papers from the Italian Ministry of Defense.
