UFO Sighting in Alicante from 1981

Summary

In June 1981, an individual in Alicante observed an unidentified flying object passing over their terrace. The person wrote a letter to the Air Force General Staff, not only to report the sighting but also to suggest capturing one of these objects for study. Although the file was opened, the intelligence officer considered there were no reasons to keep it classified. The document was declassified in 1995, but it did not include images or detailed descriptions of the phenomenon.

The file number 810625, although brief, reflects how even in the 1980s, interest in UFO sightings generated formal communication with military authorities. Despite the communicator not seeking a technical analysis, but rather a reflection on the possibility of studying these objects, the case was archived as a simple correspondence. These types of records, although seemingly anecdotal, are valuable for understanding public perception and institutional reactions to the unknown.
