AI-Generated Summary
A 1969 sighting report of a bullet-shaped object in Becerrea, Spain, was investigated by the Spanish Air Force. The military concluded the event was likely an optical illusion caused by sunlight reflecting off granite rocks.
This document details a UFO sighting report (Expediente 690402) filed by an anonymous witness regarding an event on April 2, 1969, at kilometer 476 of the Madrid-Ferrol road, between Becerrea and Lugo, Spain. The witness, while driving alone at 20:00, observed a bullet-shaped object approximately 2 meters in diameter and 5 to 6 meters in length. The object was described as having a surface composed of multi-colored scales (gresite) and was illuminated in a strange manner. It remained stationary near the ground. The witness continued driving to find a safe place to stop, but upon exiting the vehicle, the object was no longer visible. The Spanish Air Force's Intelligence Section evaluated the report and concluded that the sighting was likely an optical illusion caused by sunlight reflecting off granite rocks, which are common in the area. The report notes that the witness's claim of a 'vertiginous ascent' lacks supporting evidence and is considered implausible. The document includes the original letter from the witness, dated April 15, 1969, and a transmittal letter from the Subsecretariat of Civil Aviation to the Air Force General Staff. The file was subsequently declassified.

El fenómeno observado sugiere una ilusión óptica originada por el reflejo del sol en una roca granítica.
El objeto desapareció probablemente debido a la pérdida de la línea de visión del testigo al detener el vehículo o a la pérdida de la reflexión solar al cambiar su posición. La sugerencia del testigo de un ascenso vertiginoso se considera poco verosímil.
