Case description

A cattleman near Vejer de la Frontera reportedly experienced a motorcycle failure on a lightly travelled road at about 3 p.m. on July 20,1982. Seeing what looked like a tanker truck about a hundred metres away, he approached on foot. At roughly thirty metres he noticed two unusually large, human-shaped figures standing in the road. The figures allegedly wore shiny, armour-like metallic outfits and round transparent helmets compared to crystal. One stood near a wire fence and appeared to be watching cattle in an adjacent field. Both then returned toward the object with movements the witness compared to astronauts walking on the Moon. They entered through an open hatch, after which the object reportedly rose and departed silently northward. Ground marks were claimed, but their measurements and verification are not provided in the retrieved account. The earliest cited publication is Diario de Cádiz of August 5,1982, later discussed by Ballester Olmos and Fernández Peris. Those authors called for a non-journalistic investigation at the site; the retrieved source does not establish that such follow-up occurred. Detailed facial anatomy and a specific entity classification are therefore unwarranted. The illustration preserves the metallic armour, clear helmets, roadside setting and tanker-like first impression without inventing biological features.
