Case description

A report from Tossa de Mar in April 1968 concerns a 25-year-old technician who was driving a bus carrying tourists. HUMCAT gives the time as 19:00 and leaves the day unspecified. The Atlas's noon time conflicts with that entry; a precise day cannot be supplied from the located sources. The driver and his passengers reportedly watched a bright circular object descend into an area of pine trees. The passengers fled, while the driver stayed. He then saw a tall man beside the object holding a brilliant ball in one hand. The figure went around the craft, after which it flew away. This short sequence is the substance of the HUMCAT case, which cites DATA-NET volume V, number 3, March 1971, page 16, and Ballester Olmos's catalogue of 200 Type I events. Some later vehicle-interference compilations also mention a stopped watch. That detail should be distinguished from the more limited HUMCAT summary, which does not give an instrument examination or establish a mechanism. The account likewise provides no clear face, unusual anatomy, clothing color or spacecraft structure beyond its bright circular appearance. The reconstruction therefore shows a tall humanlike figure carrying a light, rather than adding a conventional Grey alien, and uses an evening setting while acknowledging the time disagreement.
