AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

A 1981 citizen report of a UFO in Alicante was reviewed by the Spanish Air Operational Command in 1995. The military concluded the file was opened in error and subsequently declassified it.

This document file (810625) concerns a letter sent to the JEMA (Chief of the Air Staff) on June 25, 1981, by a private citizen in Alicante. The citizen reported observing an unidentified flying object while on their terrace. The witness described the object as a 'flying machine' that made no sound. The file includes the original correspondence and an internal assessment by the Air Operational Command (Mando Operativo Aéreo) dated November 2, 1995. The intelligence officer reviewing the file in 1995 determined that the case should never have been opened as a formal investigation. The officer argued that the witness's primary intent was not to report a sighting, but rather to suggest that the military capture one of these objects for study. Consequently, the intelligence officer recommended that the file be declassified, noting that it should have been handled as routine correspondence regarding UFO topics rather than being treated as classified material.

Esta carta no debiera haber generado la apertura de un expediente ya que aún tratándose de un posible avistamiento, la intención del comunicante no era ya en sí la notificación del suceso sino la recomendación de apresar uno de esos objetos para su estudio.

Official Assessment

The intelligence officer concluded that the file should not have been opened, as the correspondent's intent was not to report a sighting but to recommend the capture of such objects for study.
