Spain

29 Dec 1976 27 may 1977, many residents of Alicante have seen unidentified flying objects in the sky.



None of the cases of observations of Alicante, recorded in 1976 and 1977, was not specified in the materials declassified by the Ministry of defence of Spain in 2016, but they were so widely known that later had a significant presence in the pages of INFORMACION and other print media.



The first event took place on December 29, 1976, and the next day the newspaper came with the headline: "UFO over Alicante?", adding that "he was seen by many".



News on page 5 was headed, "did UFOs over Alicante?", Adding that many of the testimonies coincide in time and the description of the strange object. This is the full transcription of this information in the article Piruli Arteries.

"Again, unidentified flying objects become news. Despite the care with which these items were discussed recently in the media, and despite the fact that the incident could be a joke related to the date [NOTE. - In Hispanic countries on 28 December, the equivalent of April fool's Day], we should tell you that several people, including members of our editorial Board, claim they saw a strange object flying with high speed over the bars five minutes to 14 on Wednesday.



Resident of the district of Vistahermosa was the one who gave us the detailed information. He saw - at a specified time and not very high in the air - a strange spherical object emitting a powerful green light. The light that they radiated was so intense that perfectly illuminated the landscape a greenish tinge, as if it were dawn. Strange object over Vistahermosa, crossed the capital and was lost for the visible cloud between Tabarka and Cape Santa Pola. It all happened in a matter of seconds.



The airport also received a lot of calls asking whether the phenomenon in its vicinity. The technical group responsible for the study of weather phenomena, have not added any additional information. It seems that no one in the control tower didn't pay any attention to it, and no radar observations that provide a technical account of the passage of the strange object, which exceeded the speed of sound.



In addition, the newspaper of Murcia "Línea" published a report that many people, especially those who drove down the highway, also saw the phenomenon over the city about two o'clock, and that the broader area was "lit like it was daylight "within a radius of twenty or thirty kilometers, according to them. All the features of the description were also similar".

On page 15, the headline proclaimed: "a Strange red disk was seen around midnight" and dobavleno that "several people witnessed the transit, which lasted three minutes."

Spain: Concerning the Two UFOs Seen 42 Years Ago in Alicante



On 29 December 1976 and 27 May 1977, many residents of Alicante saw unidentified flying objects in the sky.



Neither of the cases of sightings over Alicante recorded in 1976 and 1977 appeared in the files declassified by the Spanish Ministry of Defense in 2016, but they were so widely-known that they went on to have a significant presence on the pages of INFORMACION among other print media.



The first event took place on 29 December 1976, with this newspaper running as a headline the next day: "A UFO over Alicante?", adding that "it was seen by many people."



The news item on page 5 bore the title: "Did a UFO Fly over Alicante", adding that many eyewitness accounts 'coincided on the time and description of the strange object. This is the full transcription of that information in an article by Pirula Arderius.



"Unidentified flying objects are news yet again. Despite the caution with which thse subjects have been dealt with lately in the news media, and despite the fact that the incident could be a prank associated with the date [NOTE - In Spanish-speaking countries, the equivalent of April Fools Day is December 28], we must put on display the accounts of a number of people, a member of our Newsroom among them, who claim having seen a strange object flying at high speed over Alicante at five minutes before 2 a.m. yesterday, Wednesday.



A resident from the Vistahermosa district was the one who furnished us with the most detail. He saw - at the indicated time and not very high in the air - a strange spherical object that gave off powerful green flashes. The light it irradiated was so strong that it illuminated the landscape perfectly with a greenish tinge, as though it was daybreak. The strange object passed by Vistahermosa, crossed over the capital and became lost behind an apparent cloud between Tabarca and Cape Santa Pola. It all happened in a matter of seconds.



The airport also received many calls, asking if the phenomenon had been identified in its vicinity. The technical team in charge of probing weather phenomena did not add further details. It appears that no one in the control tower paid any attention ither, and there was no radar to provide a technical account of the strange object's transit, which exceeded the speed of sound.



Moreover, Murcia's "Línea" newspaper published a sidebar informing that many people - particularly those driving along the highway, had also seen the phenomenon over the city around two o'clock in the morning, and that a broad area had been "illuminated as though it were daylight" in a radius of twenty or thirty kilometers, by their estimation. All description characteristics were also in agreement."



On Page 15, a headline proclaimed: "A Strange Red Disk Was Seen Around Midnight", with a subtitle adding that "several people witnessed the transit, which lasted three minutes."

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
