The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

UNVERIFIED - summary wording only at https://www.manuelcarballal-ovnis.com/2019/08/los-expedientes-ovni-de-la-guardia-civil.html

No document is attached yet. The retrieval is open work.

What is not settled

The primary report has not been produced publicly. Everything rests on a researcher's transcription of a 1983 summary. Burned vegetation in a Castilian field in May has mundane explanations; no independent trace analysis known.
