On the public record, and still open. A claim, paper, or film — not a finding that it was ours, and not a finding that it was not.

Santiago Pulido Romero saw a low-flying object and three tall helmeted men inside holding levers; the craft responded to his car lights.

What was claimed

Santiago Pulido Romero, driving to his father's farm at dawn, saw a low-flying object with a rounded base and cone-shaped tower. When he flashed his headlights, it approached rapidly. Through windows or openings he observed three tall helmeted men inside holding control levers. The object maneuvered in response to his lights before departing.

What is on the record

This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.

At approximately 5:30 a.m. on June 14, 1974, 46-year-old Santiago Pulido Romero was driving toward his father's farm near Medellín, Spain, when a strong light caught his attention. He observed an unusual object flying at low altitude (around 100 meters), described as round on the bottom with a cone-shaped tower on top. When he switched on his car headlights, the object rapidly approached him at high speed. He turned the lights off, and it moved away. This interaction was repeated. Through what appeared to be windows or openings in the craft, he clearly saw three very tall men, over two meters in height, wearing helmets and appearing to hold onto control levers or instruments. The men seemed stationary. The witness, described as a balanced family man and outdoorsman, reported the event to the press shortly afterward. The case was published in Spanish newspapers and investigated by ufologists, appearing in Flying Saucer Review. No physical evidence was reported, but the detailed interaction and description of occupants inside the craft were emphasized.

Could this have been ours?

The known sky, that night.

Satellites were already up. The station was not. Starlink was not.

Always

Aircraft, balloons, meteors

Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.

The known sky

None of the above land

Stations, trains, and planets do not set down in a field or leave a body. This file is a ground report. The known sky still has to be named. It does not answer the claim.

Orbit · Space — the desks for lights that are already named.
