Background

At 3:00 a.m. on January 6, 1961, Luis G. Ferré Casas, his mother and his sister noticed a bright, disk-shaped object on a mountain. The mountain was about one mile from an estate at Torroja del Priorat, Tarragona, Spain. They watched the object for 20 minutes. Then they grew tired and went to bed. The case was published by Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos in Flying Saucer Review Case Histories in 1974. 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.
