Background
At 4:00 p.m., Félix Galarraga and Gerardo Izuesta saw a red, balloon-like object about 7–10 feet in diameter land near Oiartzun, Spain. Galarraga rushed toward it, but the object rose and sped away. From a separate location, the brothers Miguel and Martín Arraspio also saw the object descend. Eberhart notes that it was possibly another Radio Free Europe balloon carrying leaflets. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
