UFO Sightings in Reus and Barcelona 1967

Summary

In September 1967, the Spanish skies witnessed several sightings of unidentified flying objects that caught the attention of the Spanish Air Force. On two consecutive days, the 10th and 11th of September, British crews reported strange phenomena during their return flights to England. One incident occurred 80 nautical miles northwest of Barcelona at an altitude of 16,000 feet, while another was recorded 65 nautical miles north of Reus. These sightings not only drew the attention of the pilots but were also detected by the radar at the Paracuellos Control Center, where an unidentified echo with almost no speed was observed. The official report from the Spanish Air Force highlighted the need to investigate these phenomena and considered the possibility of establishing a dedicated UFO analysis center. Although the document was archived without concrete action, its content reflects the official interest in these mysterious aerial events.
