Italian Air Force OVNI archive, 1991–2000 (summary table)
The Italian Air Force's published table of the OVNI reports it holds from 1991 to 2000, the sequel to the 1972–1990 table, one page per report (some 110). Each gives the place, date, time, shape, colour, direction, speed, motion, altitude, weather and who made the report, then the finding ("riscontri"). Most entries up to 1997 carry the same finding as the earlier table: on the basis of the data in the archive, the event was catalogued as O.V.N.I. Most later ones say that the data gathered from the Air Force's offices showed no link with known activity or phenomena, so the event is catalogued as O.V.N.I.
The table names no witnesses. As in the earlier table, "O.V.N.I." records that no explanation was found, not extraordinary performance or origin; some entries name the likely cause (a firework, a planetary conjunction) and still catalogue the event as O.V.N.I.

Facts and claims
- documented Most reports in the 1991–2000 table come from private citizens; a handful come from Air Force personnel or the Carabinieri. Air Force personnel reported, among others, three luminous bodies at Amendola (Foggia) on 23/06/1991 (p. 4), a grey lenticular object at Cisterna di Latina on 09/02/1994 (p. 27) and several white luminous spheres at Trapani on 23/01/1995, two of them circling a third that stayed still (p. 44). Each was catalogued as O.V.N.I. Source: doc-am-archivio-ovni-1991-2000.pdf
- documented Some later entries name a likely conventional cause and still file the report as O.V.N.I.: a green luminous trail reported by Air Force personnel at Fiumicino on 06/01/1997 coincided with a firework rocket said to have been launched from a beach near Rome (p. 71), and two parallel lights seen from Castelferro (Alessandria) and Aviano on 23/02/1999 coincided with the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus (p. 108).
