Jorge Luis Sucksdorf talks about the Manises UFO incident on episode 55 of «La Huella OVNI».

This event happened in Spain in the late 70s.

Sucksdorf says is important to notice that some questions may have no answer yet. Now, let’s talk about the case.

On November 11, 1979, something big happened in Spain related to UFOs.

Manises UFO Incident

A plane with 109 people had to land quickly at the Manises airport in Valencia. This was because of a UFO.

The pilot tried to talk to the control centers in Barcelona and Madrid, but they couldn’t see the UFO. But there were bright lights getting closer.

A long time ago, Jorge looked into this story closely and got permission to make a TV show about it.

UFO Crash Risks

In the show, Jorge talked to important people like Ramón Zuazo Nagore, who was helping to fly the plane.

Ramón talked about red lights that moved in strange ways near the plane. To be safe, they landed in Manises.

At the airport, Salvador Tomás, who was in charge of safety, saw a strong light at the back of the plane when it landed.

After the plane landed, the strange light stayed in the sky. Because this was a big deal, they sent Fernando Cámara in a fast plane to look.

Trying to Get Close to the UFO

In the show, Jorge tells about Fernando Cámara trying hard to get close to the UFO.

The UFO moved very fast and in surprising ways, going really quickly from still to fast.

Cámara tried hard but couldn’t get close.

He had to stop near France because he ran out of fuel.

Light from the Ocean

There was a big report about this, saying a strange flying thing moved across the sky.

People looked into it, but couldn’t figure out what happened. In 1980, they talked about it in a big meeting, but didn’t decide anything.

At the end of the show, Sucksdorf showed a picture by José Climent from the Balearic Islands. It showed a bright ball coming out of the sea, making the Manises story even more strange.

In short, the show talks about what happened with the UFO, how they tried to follow it, and how they still don’t have answers. The Manises story is one of the most puzzling UFO stories in Spain.
