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

The control case, not a mystery. Included because it shows what a real Spanish service report looks like and what the Air Force does when the answer is mundane. Stated conclusion: probable weather balloon.
