The record
An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.
- Ejercito del Aire, Estado Mayor Seccion de Inteligencia; Guardia Civil assisted Expediente OVNI 740320 - Avistamiento en Aznalcollar (Sevilla) (opens in a new tab)
The document is attached to this entry.
What is not settled
Single primary witness; two other people present saw nothing. The file states no marks were found at the approach point. A 200m object at four metres altitude unseen by anyone else in a populated district is the strongest argument against.
