Case Histories for the Year 1939
By Angel Carretero – Andalucía Misteriosa
A UFO Lands at Zahara de los Atunes (Cádiz)
Date: July 1939
In the summer of 1939, several children looking after cattle in Zahara de los Atunes (Cádiz) witnessed a flying object measuring some 18 meters in diameter. When the UFO flew over them at low altitude, they had a sensation of heat. The object landed some 30 meters away, kicking up a dust storm. A door opened and two beings emerged – one tall and slight, the other short and stocky, lighting their way with a sort of flashlight, despite the fact that it was noon. After stepping some 20 paces from the UFO, they made an about face and re-entered the object. The entire event lasted 15 minutes.
Some witnesses and researchers state that the imprint was visible on the ground up to the year 1980.

A UFO Lands at Finca Los Majales, Sierra del Retín (Cádiz)
Date: Summer 1939
M. Jimenez Junquera, a child at the time, and in the company of five other goatherds, was known for his honesty. He told researchers in 1990 – having kept his experience a secret for forty years – about an object measuring between 15-20 meters in diameter, flying at low altitude and giving off intense heat and wind, metallic-looking and issuing an unpleasant whistling sound, that caused a stampede among the goats as it landed 30 meters from the eyewitness, who was standing on a small mound. The object looked like two soup bowls joined at their lips, surmounted by a conical dome with an antenna. Its perimeter featured a row of lights grouped two by two in red, yellow and green, with a “belt of lights” under each pair. A door opened and two occupants wearing coveralls and moving rigidly (as though in a plaster cast) descended to the ground. From their brows to the waist, horizontal blue lines crossed their moldy green outfits. Their faces were concealed by the coveralls and features were not discernible, but two round dark holes occupied the place of the eyes.
The entities wore belts and two “suspenders” to hold a large “suitcase” from which emerged a thin, silvery antenna. One of the beings was tall and slight, the other somewhat shorter and heavier.
