14 November 1979: ‘Whatever the objects were, they were certainly interested in my piece of metal,’ the pilot said
A Spanish Caravelle jet aircraft on a charter flight from Salzburg to the Canary Islands was forced to make an emergency landing in Valencia because, the pilot claims, it was buzzed by UFOs.
This story was confirmed yesterday by the pilot of the plane, Captain Javier Lerdo Tejada, in Arrecife, the capital of the Canary Island of Lanzarote. “What I saw,” he said, “was an unidentified flying object.”
