Declassified UFO / UAP Document
Expediente Número: 840111 - Avistamiento de Fenómenos Extraños (Villanubla, Valladolid)
AI-Generated Summary
A 1984 military report detailing a visual sighting of an unidentified object near Villanubla, Spain. The incident resulted in a scramble of an Ala 14 interceptor, which failed to locate the object, later attributed to a weather balloon.
On January 11, 1984, the Valladolid Control Tower reported a visual contact with a static object located approximately 10 nautical miles southeast of Villanubla at an altitude of 14,000 feet. The military unit 'Pegaso' was notified, but they reported no corresponding radar contact. Despite the lack of radar confirmation, a scramble order was issued to Ala 14. The interceptor aircraft reached the target area but failed to identify or intercept the object, eventually returning to base after reaching its 'Bingo' fuel state. The official military assessment concluded that the object was likely a weather balloon. The documentation consists of the original message (MSGID) sent by the General Chief of MACOM to JEMA and a subsequent declassification summary dated January 17, 1996, which states that no further investigation was conducted and that the matter no longer required classified status.
