Spain: U.S. Investigated Strange Sightings in Madrid

Having reached the first half of the 20th century, Madrid became one of the red-dotted locations on the world map of unidentified flying objects, the ones commonly known as UFOS. This is how it is reflected by the Project Blue Book website, regarding certain files declassified in early 2014 that the study of eight cases in Spain under the auspices of the U.S. Army. Four of these were in Madrid.

The files, a minimum number among the 140,000 collected in the website, make reference to strange objects seen in the region, particularly over the Torrejón de Ardoz air force base, used by U.S. forces until 1992. The first of the sightings goes back to August 1955, when a high-ranking U.S. official saw a white, balloon-shaped object to the north. According to the report, it changed shape twice, from spherical to disk-shaped and vice versa, before vanishing into the horizon.
