Case description

Two bank officials reportedly encountered an unusually tall green figure beside the road while driving between Gines and Seville in January 1969. Ballester Olmos’s catalogue describes a biped approximately three metres high. The observers were said to have suffered a strong fright and did not wish to discuss the incident publicly. The short account does not give their names, an exact day, the duration or their viewing distance. It also provides no detailed face, clothing, movement sequence or physical interaction. Green is the reported overall impression, without evidence specifying whether it was skin, clothing or an effect of the light. No craft appears in this account, so a disc, landing or boarding scene would be an addition. Ballester’s 1976 compilation lists the report as case 99, citing José Darnaude and the investigator’s files. That traceable reference is more useful than treating the compact wording as a complete eyewitness statement. Other Gines-area aerial sightings have different dates and details and should not be merged solely because of the locality. The record preserves the anonymous motorists’ claim while leaving the unreported anatomy, vehicle identity and exact observation conditions unresolved.
