Some citizens of Savona and Loano reported having sighted and filmed some luminous spherical objects both during the day and at night. According to ufologist Angelo Maggioni, some of these sightings involve gray metallic spheres that "appear to absorb sunlight, surrounded by luminous energy that masks their precise shape" The association excludes "conventional explanations such as airplanes, drones or natural phenomena", focusing instead on the origin and reason for these presences in Ligurian.
