Sighting Description: Una segnalazione di un aereo militare che era precipitato in mare, aveva fatto pattugliare tutto il tratto di mare di fronte a Viareggio da parte di un dragamine e di alcuni motoscafi privati. Successivamente, nel pomeriggio, le operazioni di ricerca vennero sospese ed il comando dell’aeroporto di San Giusto dichiarò che si era trattato solo di una falso allarme.
