Expediente Número 820819 — Avistamiento de Fenómenos Extraños, Blanes (Gerona), 19 de Agosto de 1982

This document is an official file (Expediente 820819) from the Spanish Air Force's Central Library, detailing a UFO sighting that occurred on August 19, 1982, in Blanes, Gerona. The report consists of a summary prepared by the Air Force's Intelligence Section and the original letter sent by the witness to the Air Force Headquarters on October 28, 1982. The witness, a 41-year-old resident of Blanes, reported observing a large, cylindrical, disc-shaped object at 22:30 hours while on the terrace of his apartment. He was accompanied by seven other people. Using 16x50 binoculars, the witness described the object as having a diameter between 50 and 100 meters, with a smooth upper surface and a lower section containing habitations. The object rotated clockwise and featured 7 or 8 illuminated rectangular panels. The witness noted that the object moved at a constant altitude and speed, similar to a commercial aircraft, and performed maneuvers that allowed him to see both its top and bottom. During one rotation, he observed a perfectly marked empty triangle. The witness provided detailed, speculative theories regarding the object's propulsion, suggesting it might use a magnetic antigravity field or electric energy. He also included five hand-drawn figures illustrating the object's appearance from different perspectives. The Air Force intelligence assessment concludes that the incident does not warrant continued classification as 'classified material' and notes that no further investigation or follow-up correspondence with the witness was ever conducted. The file was officially declassified on December 22, 1995.
