Circle over Tenerife, CANARY I · Spain
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We are in Tenerife on holiday and last night at about 18.50 we saw a very very large fast moving green flashing light, moving from the south west of the island. At first we thought it was the space station. It then came to a complete halt over the top of mount Teide, it's stopped still there for about 2 seconds before shooting back the same direction and stopped over the top of Playa de las Americas for about 5 seconds. It all happened so fast that by the time I got my phone out all I managed to get was a very distant photo. It made no sound.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Spain declassified its air force UFO files in the 1990s; later records answer to the transparency law. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
