Caravelle">Supercaravelle</a> was the first aircraft involved in the incident. Flight JK-297 had taken off from <a href="/wiki/Salzburg" title="Salzburg">Salzburg</a> (<a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>) with 109 passengers on board, and had made a refuelling stop on the island <a href="/wiki/Mallorca" title="Mallorca">Mallorca</a> before setting course towards <a href="/wiki/Las_Palmas_de_Gran_Canaria" class="mw-redirect" title="Las Palmas de Gran Canaria">Las Palmas</a>. </p><p>Halfway through the flight, at about 23:00, Pilot Francisco Javier Lerdo de Tejada and his crew noticed a set of red lights that were fast approaching the aircraft. These lights appeared to be on a collision course with the aircraft, alarming the crew. The captain requested information about the inexplicable lights, but neither the military radar of <a href="/wiki/Torrej%C3%B3n_de_Ardoz" title="Torrejón de Ardoz">Torrejón de Ardoz</a> (<a href="/wiki/Madrid" title="Madrid">Madrid</a>) nor the flight control center in <a href="/wiki/Barcelona" title="Barcelona">Barcelona</a> could provide any explanation for this phenomenon. </p><p>In order to avoid a possible collision, the captain changed altitude. However, the lights mirrored the new course and stayed about half a kilometer away from the plane. Since the object was violating all elementary safety rules and an evasive maneuver was deemed impossible by the crew, the captain decided on going off-course and made an emergency landing in Manises' airport. This was the first time in history in which a commercial flight was forced to make an emergency landing because of a UFO. </p><p>The flight crew reported the lights abandoning the pursuit just before the landing took place. However, three new UFO signals were detected by the radar, each one with an estimated diameter of 200 meters. The objects were seen by several witnesses. One of the UFOs passed very close to the airport runway, and emergency lights were lit by the land crew in case the object happened to be an unregistered flight experiencing difficulties. </p><p>Given the lack of answer to all communication attempts, a <a href="/wiki/Mirage_F-1" class="mw-redirect" title="Mirage F-1">Mirage F1</a> took off from the nearby airbase of Los Llanos (<a href="/wiki/Albacete" title="Albacete">Albacete</a>) to identify the phenomenon. The pilot, Spanish Air Force captain Fernando Cámara, had to increase his speed to mach 1.4 just to be able to get visual contact with what he perceived to be a truncated cone shape displaying a changing bright color, but despite his initial efforts the object quickly disappeared from sight. The pilot was informed of a new radar echo, which indicated that another object might be near Sagunto (Valencia). </p><p>When the pilot was close enough, the object accelerated and disappeared again. This time, though, the UFO seemed to respond and the fighter had its avionics scrambled - its electronic flight systems were jammed and the on-board alert system in the F1 warned Captain Cámara as if he was being locked-on by a continuous wave missile radar. At last, and after a third contact attempt, the UFO finally disappeared, heading for Africa. After an hour and a half of pursuit, and due to fuel shortage, the pilot was forced to return to the base with no results. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Possible_explanations">Possible explanations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Manises_UFO_incident&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Possible explanations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The public impact of the incident was such that in September 1980 it reached the <a href="/wiki/Cortes_Generales" title="Cortes Generales">Cortes Generales</a> (the Spanish Parliament). The High Chamber representative <a href="/wiki/Enrique_M%C3%BAgica_Herzog" class="mw-redirect" title="Enrique Múgica Herzog">Enrique Múgica Herzog</a> publicly asked for an official explanation, but a UFO sighting was dismissed and the incident was attributed to a series of freak optical illusions. </p><p>The full official report, declassified by the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish Air Force">Spanish Air Force</a> in August 1994, states that the Supercaravelle JK-297 pilot Javier Saenz de Tejada, the land crew in Manises' airport and the Air Force Captain Fernando Cámara might have been misled by <i>"flashes emitted from a distant chemical industry complex"</i> (about 100 miles away from Manises) <i>"and some stars and planets"</i>. Although this possibility has been much debated and repeatedly rejected by everyone involved, it stands as the only non-UFO-related explanation. </p><p>The on-flight difficulties experienced by the fighter were not mentioned in the public release. The electronic system failure on board the Mirage F1 could nevertheless be explained by the fact that the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Sixth_Fleet" title="United States Sixth Fleet">United States Sixth Fleet</a> was stationed in the area, and was making use of a powerful electronic warfare equipment while awaiting the outcome of the <a href="/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis" title="Iran hostage crisis">Iran hostage crisis</a>. The F1 combat pilot, Fernando Cámara, rejected such a possibility saying that the Sixth Fleet was too far and furthermore his systems got jammed when he tried to lock the UFO with an IR missile. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Bibliography">Bibliography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Manises_UFO_incident&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Bibliography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239549316">.mw-parser-output .refbegin{margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents>ul{margin-left:0}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents>ul>li{margin-left:0;padding-left:3.2em;text-indent:-3.2em}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents ul,.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents ul li{list-style:none}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents>ul>li{padding-left:1.6em;text-indent:-1.6em}}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-columns ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .refbegin{font-size:90%}}</style><div class="refbegin" style=""> <ul><li><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFBenítez1980" class="citation book cs1"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Juan_Jos%C3%A9_Ben%C3%ADtez&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Juan José Benítez (page does not exist)">Benítez, Juan José</a> (1980). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=l8-mPQAACAAJ"><i>Incidente en Manises</i></a>.
