AI-Generated Summary
This document details the 1979 sighting of an unidentified aerial object by the crew of flight AF-530 near Mallorca, Spain. It includes the original incident report, correspondence from the National Control Service, and a transcript of the radio communications.
On February 14, 1979, the crew of flight AF-530, departing from Palma Airport, reported an encounter with an unidentified object near Andraitx. The crew initially communicated to the Air Control Center (ACC) that they had crossed paths with a meteorite. Upon further inquiry, the crew described the object as a very bright white ball with green reflections. The object passed beneath their aircraft, moving from left to right in a southwest-to-northeast direction, before appearing to stop at approximately their 3 o'clock position. The control tower confirmed that they had also observed something unusual in the area of the mountains. The incident was documented in file 790214, which included a transcript of the radio communications between the flight crew and the Palma control center. In May 1995, the Mando Operativo Aéreo (Air Operational Command) reviewed the file and determined that there were no aspects of the report that necessitated continued classification, leading to its declassification.
La observación consistió en una bola blanca con reflejos verdes, muy brillante, que, por la zona de la sierra, les cruzó por debajo, de izquierda a derecha, sentido SW-NE, cuando se establecían en la A-29 en dirección a REUS.
