Mysterious Fires in Sicily

In 2004, a town in northern Sicily experienced mysterious

spontaneous fires that officials purportedly suspected were the
result of alien activity. Now the mysterious fires have returned.
The fires are appearing in Canneto di Caronia, a town on the
northern coast of Sicily. In 2004, the town had to be largely
evacuated and dozens of experts were flown in to investigate.
The power company cut off power to the town in order to stop
the fires, but they continued.
Scientists, electrical engineers and the military all tried to figure
out why the fires were starting, but no one could figure it out.
According the UK newspaper The Telegraph, one scientist was
amazed when he saw an unplugged electrical cable burst into
flames.

Eventually the fires subsided, but the Italian government spent

years investigating them. According to The Telegraph, the
investigation cost over $1 million, and included dozens of experts,
including a NASA scientist. The newspaper also claimed that the
officials concluded the most likely cause was aliens.
Now the fires have apparently come back. According to the UK
newspaper Metro, the mayor believes them to be caused by
unknown electromagnetic radiation. However, locals believe
they may be caused by ghosts, witches, secret U.S. military tests
of radiation weapons, poltergeists, rogue microwave transmitters,
or perhaps even a young person with pyrokenetic powers, like in
the Stephen King book made into a blockbuster
movie, Firestarter.
A local council member, Vittorio Alfieri, has been investigating the
fires. He says one television has burst into flames five times. He
believes it is caused by an entity which moves from one house to
another.
He said in an interview, A house on the ground floor caught fire
then it was the turn of objects on the first floor. Consequently,
the fire moved to the nearby house. It was like it was moving.
In 2004, the Vaticans chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth said
he thought the Canneto di Caronia fires were caused be demons.
He said, Ive seen things like this before. Demons occupy a
house and appear in electrical goods. Lets not forget that Satan
and his followers have immense powers.
Last year Discovery TV posted a vignette on the fires for their TV
show The Unexplained Files. In it, they interview Antonio
Spinnato, a local who suspects UFO sightings in the area are
related to the phenomena. He says he caught UFOs on film
following military helicopters.
