Spanish Air Force F-86-F Sabre UFO Encounter 1954
UFO Sighting Witnesses:
Capt Juan Alfonso Sáez-Benito Toledo
Lt. Luis Carbayo Olivares, both F-86F Sabre pilots of the Spanish Air Force, 102nd Fighter Squadron
Ground Radar of Escuadrón de Viligancia Area #1 (EVA-1) (No. 1 Air Surveillance Squadron) in Calatayud, Zaragoza.
UFO Sighting encounter Summary:
During a "Red Eye" air defense exercise two F-86-F pilots from Zaragoza air base observed one bright grey egg-shaped UFO flattened in the upper portion with two porthole-like windows. The UFO Sighting seemed to be flying at a speed of 800 km per hour at an estimated altitude of 27,000 to 33,000 feet. Radar at Zaragoza tracked the UFO for about 25 minutes. Elements of the US VI Fleet participated in the Red Eye exercises, but there is no information regarding any contact with this UFO. Spanish results of Red Eye exercises are still classified.
The two pilots were extensively debriefed about their encounter, but when the Spanish Air Staff began declassifying their UFO Sighting files in 1991, inquiries about this case were met with the response "FILE MISSING". Most of the information about this case comes from witness interviews long after the event.
