I found this little jewel, I just love old school UFO stories. As usual, very difficult to corroborate but delightful for sure.



El Conquistador was a 4 pages newspaper edited between 1910 and 1919 in the Spanish city of Orihuela.



In April 27 of 1918, #188, page 3, the paper reports an interesting incident, here is the translation :



"By some countrymen our very early risers have expressed the great surprise and even the horror that have felt this morning, seeing descending from the sky describing large Zic Zac, two luminous lightbulbs as if they were warships, which evolved to the height of the population's lands; ascending and forming spiral circles around the saw of the castle, separating from each other, one circling around Callosa and the other by the Cruz de la Muela and losing sight making Zic Zac.

They must have been airplanes even though no noise was noticed from the engines or the black silhouette that the artifact was supposed to present".
