Reflections on a Historic UFO Encounter in 1979 Spain: Declassified Documents and Eyewitness Accounts
In the annals of aerospace and ufology history, few incidents capture the imagination quite like the mysterious events that unfolded off the coast of Motril, Granada, Spain, in November 1979. Recent declassified documents and firsthand testimonies shed light on a compelling UFO encounter involving military personnel, extraordinary phenomena, and unexplained technological interference. This article explores the details of this remarkable event, providing a comprehensive overview rooted in official records and eyewitness accounts.
The Context and Initial Warning
On a chilly November evening, around 6:45 p.m., the Spanish Air Force received an alert concerning an unidentified object detected near the southern coast of Spain. Civilians had reported sightings of intermittent lights along the shoreline of Motril, and military radar corroborated these observations with sporadic flashes recorded on monitors.
Responding promptly, a fighter jet was scrambled from Albacete with the mission of investigating the mysterious activity. For approximately nine minutes, the pilot searched the area, but initial efforts yielded no tangible results. According to declassified military reports, the aircraft then returned to base after unsuccessful visual contact.
An Unusual Sighting and Radio Anomalies
As the aircraft approached the vicinity of Motril, the pilot reported observing three intense lights arranged in the shape of an isosceles triangle. When attempting to approach these luminous phenomena, a peculiar incident occurred. The radio communications were suddenly disrupted by the voices of children emanating through the aircraft’s radio system, audibly asking, “Hello, who are you? Hello, hello.”
This moment, officially documented in the Spanish Air Force report numbered 0130, stands out as a perplexing element. It suggested a possible direct interaction or interference from the unidentified object, adding a layer of mystery to the encounter.
The Encounter with the Triangular Lights
As the pilot drew closer, the lights appeared to merge with a large craft—comparable in size to a prominent structure on the Madrid skyline—hovering horizontally, seemingly melting into the craft itself. These visual sensations were accompanied by the ongoing radio voices, intensifying the surreal nature of the event.
Notably, the pilot described a close proximity to the craft, which was both visually and acoustically extraordinary. The voices persisted for at least 30 seconds even after radio silence was established.
