UFO Sightings in Gallarta (Biscay) in 1977

Summary

In February 1977, in the mining area of La Florida in Gallarta (Biscay), several sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were reported, prompting official military attention and the creation of a formal file. The testimonies include detailed descriptions of an object shaped like a flattened mushroom, ascending vertically at high speed and leaving a brief trail. One witness, a naval engineer, claimed to have observed it from a distance of one kilometer, estimating its size to be between 20 and 25 meters in diameter. No noise was heard, and the object disappeared within seconds. Another witness, his father-in-law, reported multiple appearances, including encounters with apparent extraterrestrial beings. Although authorities found no conclusive physical evidence, the file documents the testimonies and investigation attempts, including meteorological analysis and examination of ground traces. The case was declassified in 1995 but remains an unsolved mystery.
