Confrontation at Talavera Real, Spain 1976

Location. Talavera La Real AFB Badajoz Spain
Date: November 12 1976 Time: 01:45 a.m.
Jose Maria Trejo and Juan Carrizosa Lujan were on sentry duty when they heard a very loud, penetrating whistle that continued for 5 minutes, stopped, and then started again. As it stopped for the second time, they saw a light in the sky, “like a flare,” which lit up a wide area beneath it, in the direction of Badajoz. After 15-20 seconds this light vanished. A third sentry, Jose Hidalgo, joined them; accompanied by a guard dog, and they went to search the fuel stockpile area. They had gone about 1000 ft when they experienced a localized “whirlwind,” which alarmed them and caused them to load their rifles. Then, hearing a sound as of branches being broken in the direction of some nearby eucalyptus trees, they loosed the dog. He dashed off toward the trees, but after a few seconds staggered back, as though sick, and whimpering. 4 or 5 times they got the dog to go to the trees, but each time he came back in the same way. Then Trejo glimpsed a greenish light out of the corner of his eyes, and turning around, beheld a luminous humanoid figure at least 10 ft tall, only 50 ft away. The luminous figure seemed to consist entirely of small points of light—along its periphery; these luminous points were more intense. The small head seemed to be covered with a sort of helmet. The body was thick. The arms seemed to be crossed. Legs and feet could not be seen. Trejo tried to fire his rifle, but was unable to; he felt a sensation of weakness, and collapsed to the ground. The other two men, a little farther away, caught sight of the entity at this moment, and fired at it. Between them they fired 40-50 shots. At the moment the firing began, the apparition vanished. The other two men helped Trejo to his feet, and at this time all 3 heard the whistle again, from the direction of the eucalyptus trees; it lasted for 10-15 seconds, and then ceased. At dawn 50 men searched the area. They found nothing; in particular, they could not find a single cartridge case. Moreover, the adobe wall of the base, which was just behind the being, showed not a single bullet-pock. A few days after the incident, Trejo lost his vision, and then fell unconscious. Hospital tests showed nothing abnormal. About 2 weeks later he again lost his vision for about 15 minutes. He was hospitalized for a month and during that time suffered from severe headaches.
