What the record resolves

A silhouette

A shape, a height, a number of figures. Nothing that resolves a body.

Two metres, arms and legs, face not seen.

The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

The document is attached to this entry.

What is not settled

EXACTLY the trap the Spanish expedientes set. The file states the Salamanca events were never investigated because they were never reported in writing to the Regional Air Command. The official document is only the folder it sits in.
