UFO Sighting on a Ship Near the Canary Islands

Summary

In December 1985, an officer on duty aboard the ship "Manuel Soto" recorded an unexplained sighting during the early morning. Initially, he thought it was the star Antares, but after checking its position, he dismissed this possibility. The object remained motionless for a few minutes before suddenly moving toward the ship at high speed. When it reached its zenith, the officer described a silhouette that did not resemble any known aircraft or helicopter. The object emitted bright white and red lights, without producing any noise. Other crew members also observed it, but no conventional explanation was found.

The report was passed between military branches, including the Air Force and Navy, but no alternative explanations were found. Eventually, the file was declassified and not considered a significant UFO case. Despite the lack of conclusions, the officer's testimony and official records add a touch of mystery to this maritime event.
