Background

Incident Details On April 4, 1974, two young witnesses aged 12 years observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon in A Estrada, located in Galicia, Spain. The object displayed distinctive characteristics including a metallic appearance and complete absence of audible sound during the encounter.

Observation The craft maintained a stationary position approximately 30 to 40 feet above ground level for several seconds before accelerating and departing the area. The brief duration and controlled movement pattern suggested deliberate maneuvering rather than natural atmospheric phenomena.

Documentation This sighting was catalogued by Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos in his comprehensive research compilation documenting Type I UFO events across the Iberian Peninsula, establishing it as part of the broader investigative record.
