Strange metallic cylinder-shaped UFO with 'sombrero shaped cupola', Spain
Location: Pedrosa del Rey, Valladolid, Spain
Date: July 21 1975 Time: 1900
Farmer Emiliano Velasco Baez was working his fields on his John Deere tractor in an area known as Parcel 21 when suddenly a strange sound attracted his attention. Thinking that the motor had been damaged he was about to stop the tractor when he saw only about 20 meters away from and hovering about 80 cm from the ground, a very bizarre looking object. The craft then began to slowly turn towards the witness and at this point he was able to observe it in detail. He described it as a metallic cylinder with a sombrero shaped cupola on top, and a V-shaped support on the bottom. He saw what appeared to be a window and a door on the object. The objects trajectory took it to only about 3 meters from the witness. At this point a deafening whistling sound invaded the area. While performing one of its turns the witness felt and saw a beam of light that apparently struck him and his tractor drilling a perfectly round hole on the rearview mirror of the tractor. Now somewhat scared Emiliano accelerated his tractor and quickly drove away from the area. Years later after suffering from numerous ailments that only began to afflict him after the encounter with the unknown object Emiliano Velasco Baez died. His wife always attributed his death to the UFO encounter.
