AI-Generated Summary
This document is a declassified 1968 Spanish military report regarding a UFO sighting by an Iberia airline crew. It includes the original flight communication transcripts and an intelligence assessment concluding there was insufficient data to identify the object.
On November 4, 1968, at 18:23Z, the crew of Iberia flight IB-249, a Caravelle aircraft traveling from Barcelona to Alicante, reported observing an unidentified aerial phenomenon. The crew described a very large light accompanied by two smaller lateral lights. According to the transcript of their communications with the Barcelona Control Center, the object performed various maneuvers, including a descent, followed by the light extinguishing, then ascending and re-illuminating. The object was eventually lost from sight towards the Mediterranean. The Barcelona Control Center confirmed they had no radar contact with the object, noting that its estimated position was outside their radar range. The official intelligence assessment, dated November 20, 1992, concluded that there was insufficient data to form a reliable hypothesis regarding the nature of the phenomenon. The report suggested that the observed behavior—specifically the descent and the light's disappearance—could potentially be explained by a ventral light, such as landing lights, which might become obscured when viewed from a higher altitude. The file was ultimately declassified and marked as 'unclassified'.
