Sighting of Strange Phenomena (UFO Files) — MACAN NOV92

This document file, designated MACAN NOV92, serves as an administrative record regarding the declassification of UFO (OVNI) sighting reports held by the Spanish Air Force. The file documents the internal process initiated by the Air Force Chief of Staff (JEMA) in 1991 to centralize and review documentation concerning unidentified aerial phenomena. The correspondence tracks the flow of information between the Mando Operativo Aéreo (MOA), the Mando Aéreo de Canarias, and the Central Library of the Air Force. The file includes a summary of sightings recorded by the Alert and Control Group, specifically noting radar detections by units such as EVA-8 and EVA-21, and instances where military aircraft (Mirage F-1) were scrambled to intercept unidentified radar echoes. The final determination, dated September 1997, concludes that there is no longer any justification to maintain the 'Classified Material' status for these records, leading to their formal declassification. The document provides a historical list of radar contacts spanning from 1989 to 1992, detailing specific dates, locations, and the nature of the detections.
