On May 13 , 1969 at the Reus Air Force Base near Tarragona, in the province Catalonia, air traffic controllers saw a "glowing ball with spots" hanging motionless. They ordered a nearby light aircraft to approach the UFO in order to identify the object. When the plane went to approach, the "ball" disappeared.

An agile light aircraft that was in the area was ordered to approach the UFO, in an attempt to identify what it was. But as soon as the plane came closer to it, the light disappeared in the blink of an eye.
