AVISTAMIENTO DE FENOMENOS EXTRAÑOS (EXPEDIENTE NÚMERO: 750114)
AI-Generated Summary
This document details a 1975 radar sighting of unidentified mobile echoes at Talavera Air Base, Spain. The report concludes the event was likely caused by false radar returns and recommends declassification.
On January 14, 1975, a G.C.A. controller at the Talavera Air Base in Spain observed 7 to 8 unidentified mobile radar echoes between 19:15Z and 19:40Z. These echoes, which were detected between radials 120 and 160, exhibited unusual speed variations, ranging from the speed of a conventional aircraft to that of a jet. The objects were not visually identified, and the radar equipment could not determine their altitude, though it was estimated to be above 25,000 feet. The incident coincided with the arrival of a VIP flight (EC-BXV) carrying the Minister of Agriculture. The pilot of the VIP aircraft confirmed he was not being escorted, and the Defense Command later confirmed there were no military exercises scheduled for that night. Subsequent analysis by the intelligence officer in 1993 concluded that the data was insufficient and that the incident was likely caused by false radar echoes, such as 'Second Around Time' responses or atmospheric temperature inversions common in January. The file was subsequently declassified.
Del estudio del Expediente y ante la imposibilidad de la confirmación del avistamiento por parte de otro radar e incluso visual, podría catalogarse el suceso como de aparición de ecos falsos.
