VALENCIA, Spain — The pilot of
a Caravelle jetliner carrying 109 pas
sengers made an emergency landing
to escape pursuit from four unidenti
fied flying objects described as
bright red spheres larger than stars.
Transportation Ministry officials
Monday said the incident began
when the Spanish plane was flying
over the Mediterranean island of Ibi
za Sunday en route to Tenerife in the
Canary Islands.
The director of Valencia airport
said the crew of the Caravelle de
scribed the four flying objects as
bright red balls three times larger
than stars and shooting sparks.
The crew said after the objects
“pursued” them for some four hours,
they decided to abort their long
flight south to the Canary Islands off
the West coast of Africa.
They said the objects peeled out of
sight some 30 miles away from
Valencia, on Spain’s eastern
Mediterranean coast.
