Location: Near Cordoba, Spain

Date: May 16, 1966

Time : 7:30 AM

Farmer Manuel Hernández was leaving home towards the countryside, walking on the rural road of Los Morales, when he spotted a strange discoid object about 100 meters away. The object was metallic, with a prominent edge that reflected intensely the golden light of the morning sun. Curious, Hernandez approached with caution, until he became a few meters from the ship, which was approximately 3 meters in diameter.

Without any warning or noise, and without any opening becoming visible, several unusual creatures suddenly appeared close to the object. The beings flew around the disk and flew over the neighboring field, moving in an unnatural way.

Frightened by fear, Hernández began to move away quickly, but he still managed to notice important details: the creatures were small, with gray-greenish skin, and had features on their backs that resembled wings, giving them a slightly bird-like appearance. Their faces were indistinct, and they wore dark uniforms combined with transparent glass helmets that completely covered their heads.

Terrified, Hernández ran to his home and immediately reported what had happened. Later, he returned to the location accompanied by relatives, but both the object and the beings had disappeared without any trace.
