Observation in Guerin, Seville (November 30, 1980, 21:00)

Event Description:

At nine o'clock in the evening, when it was time to close the gates separating the fenced enclosure, which contained about 200 year-old bulls, at the La Caldera ranch within the municipal borders of Guerena, Seville (dedicated to the cultivation of fighting bulls), the keepers of the said property, Ms. Josefa Acuña and her son Diego Vidal, noticed a powerful a glow similar to daylight. 

It came from the area immediately adjacent to the "tentadero" [a pen used during tienta to decide whether bulls are suitable to become fighting bulls, be used for breeding or be sacrificed — Wikitonary] on the territory. They noticed a pyramidal object on the ground — an object endowed with a series of intermittent white lights on the left side, the main central light and red lights larger than the white ones on the right side.

Mother and son observed this phenomenon, regularly entering and leaving the house. The event lasted three hours, although they could not say for sure, since after this time interval they stopped leaving the house, and did not know what had become of the object.

The UFO did not disturb the 200 year-old bulls in the area, nor the guard dogs, which were particularly aggressive towards members of the GEIFO group during the visit to the object.

Moreover, with flashlights and camera flashes, GEIFO members forced these bulls to panic, putting themselves at risk.

The next morning — although the exact relation to the observation is unknown — one bull was found dead and the other wounded, although it is said that fights between them are quite common.

Case No. 004

Case Name:

Sighting at Gerena, Seville (30 November 1980, 21:00 hours)

Description of the Event:

At nine o'clock in the evening, when it came time to close the gate that separated the fenced enclosure in which some 200 yearling bulls were kept, at the "La Caldera" ranch within the municipal limits of Gerena, Seville (devoted to raising fighting bulls), the keepers of said property, Mrs. Josefa Acuña and her son Diego Vidal, became aware of a powerful glow similar to that of daylight. It came from the area immediately adjacent to the "tentadero" [An enclosure used during the tienta to decide if the bulls are fit to become fighting bulls, used for breeding, or to be sacrificed - Wikitonary] on the premises. They became aware of a pyramidal object on the ground - an object endowed with a row of intermittent white lights on its left side, a main central light, and red lights larger than the white ones on the right side.

 Mother and son observed the phenomenon, going in and out of their home on regular intervals. The event lasted three hours, although they could not say for sure, since at the end of that time period, they stopped going out of the house, and did not know what became of the object.

The 200 yearling bulls in the area were not disturbed by the UFO, nor were the property's guard dogs, which were particularly aggressive toward members of the GEIFO group during the visit to the site.

Moreover, with our flashlights and camera flashes, GEIFO members caused these bulls to stampede, placing us in jeopardy.

The next morning - although the precise relationship to the sighting is uncertain - one bull was found dead and another wounded, although it is said that fights among them are quite common.
 

Points to Consider:

The length of  time that the object remained in the landing area.
