Did the OSS “scoop up” the Magenta UFO at the end of the war in Italy? If so, it was likely done with the help of this man, a communist resistance fighter by the name of Cino Moscatelli.

The logic here is very simple.

Grusch claims the crash material was taken from an airbase by the OSS in 44/45.

Top researchers such as Pinotti are convinced the craft was stored at the SIAI Marchetti airbase, probably at the HQ in Sesto Calende.

Cino Moscatelli is known to have worked closely with the OSS, and, with the help of the OSS, took Milan before the arrival of the Allied Army.

Finally, I found an article where it is stated that the partisan forces (led by Moscatelli) capture the Marchetti facility (and it comes out that Marchetti himself had been working with the resistance, and thus with the OSS).

“A National Liberation Committee was established in Sesto Calende and a similar body took control of the aeronautical industries of SIAI-Marchetti.” [Google translation]

Conclusion:

This hardly settles the matter, but I think it’s a good start.
