During the 1970s, much like in other parts of the world, Spain experienced an apparent surge in UFO sightings, many of which also featured encounters with strange humanoid entities. Just one of these took place at the Talavera le Real Air Force Base in Badajoz, Spain, and featured three military personnel who encounters just such a humanoid entity. Just why Spain experienced such a wave of sightings is uncertain. Perhaps it is its location near the Mediterranean Sea, or perhaps it is due to reasons we are yet to understand…

The Talavera Le Real Air Force Alien Incident – One Of Many 1970s Spanish UFO Encounters By Marcus Lowth July 23, 2021 March 27, 2022 31 min read Expert Opinion Posted inAliens, Encounters According to an account that appeared in the February 1978 edition of Flying Saucer Review (Vol. 23 No. 5), a case of paralysis during an apparent UFO and alien encounter occurred on 12th November 1976 at Talavera le Real Air Force Base in Badajoz, Spain near to the border with Portugal. The incident was not only witnessed by three military personnel but also resulted in severe (if temporary) health problems for one of them. The Talavera le Real Air Force Base Alien encounter is one of the most intriguing on record It also featured the apparition and disappearance of a strange, glowing humanoid entity, one that appeared to defy logic and physics as it faced the barrage of military fire from the soldiers involved. Indeed, the Talavera Le Real Air Force incident is one of the most detailed and remarkable on record. The fact is during the 1970s, as we shall examine, particularly the mid to latter part of the decade, UFO sightings in Spain were almost a regular occurrence, with sightings being witnessed by people in the street as they went about their daily lives, to airline pilots who held the lives of others in their hands as they witnessed such strange objects thousands of feet above the ground. And what’s more, many of these incidents also involved strange humanoid beings that would appear to be the occupants of these equally strange aerial vehicles. The report of the Talavera Le Real Air Force incident entered the public arena in the previously mentioned Flying Saucer Review courtesy of UFO investigator Juan Jose Benitez (and was transcribed by Gordon Creighton).

They would describe it as at first sounding like “typical radio interference” which suddenly changed to an “acute, penetrating whistle” that was “so piercing” it caused significant pain in their ears. Each was now alert to the real possibility of an intruder and so began to scan their surroundings. The whistling sound continued for around five minutes before suddenly coming to a stop. They would undertake a search of the perimeters, not finding anything untoward and no signs of a breach of security. However, only moments after this patrol was carried out, the bizarre whistling sound began once more. They would describe this second whistling as being “so sharp and so penetrating” that they feared it would drive them mad or that their “eardrums were going to be ruptured”.

This time, however, when the sound came to a stop a bright light was immediately visible overhead lighting up a large part of the ground below. This unnerving glow lasted for around 20 seconds before it vanished, sending the area back to the darkness of the early morning hours. Shortly after, a third soldier, Jose Hidalgo, joined the two bemused men outside, with him was one of the military Alsatian guard dogs. He had also seen the magnificent glow and was preparing to conduct a tour of the perimeters of the base. The two soldiers agreed to join him, and on their way made their way to a small hut where the guards and the corporal slept. They would wake Corporal Pavon and inform him of the potential situation unfolding. He would immediately order a full search of the area, which the three soldiers would undertake. As they set out, the entire area was completely silent and still once more. Searching Of The Perimeters To begin with, the search was quiet and uneventful. In fact, the three soldiers took a certain amount of solace from the fact that the...
