AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

This document contains book reviews on UFO literature and a report of a radar-tracked UFO sighting by the Spanish submarine Tonina in May 1980. The sighting occurred off the coast of Almería and was not visually confirmed by the crew.

This document consists of two distinct sections. The first is a book review column titled 'FSR Bookshelf - 12' by Janet and Colin Bord. The reviewers discuss several publications, including Dr. Harley D. Rutledge's 'Project Identification,' which details 105 sightings in Missouri during 1973. The reviewers express skepticism regarding the interpretation of these sightings as controlled displays, suggesting instead that they may be light phenomena or reactions to the witnesses themselves. The column also mentions other books, such as John Taylor's 'Science and the Supernatural' and a work by an author named Benton, which the reviewers criticize for relying on dubious sources regarding 'Inner Earth' theories and alleged government cover-ups involving figures like Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Archbishop of San Francisco. The second section is an article by Juan José Benítez, translated by Gordon Creighton from the Spanish newspaper 'Diario de Mallorca' (February 4, 1981). This article reports on a UFO sighting involving the Spanish submarine 'Tonina' on May 26, 1980. According to the report, the submarine was in a state of alert off the coast of Almería, near Cabo de Gata, when its radar detected an object moving at approximately 300 knots. Although the object was tracked on the radarscope and passed within 1.8 miles of the submarine, it was not seen visually by the crew. The object moved from the south-west to the north-east before turning and vanishing.

The object passed at a distance of only 1.8 miles from the submarine and yet, to the astonishment of everyone aboard her, not one of them saw it with the naked eye.
