The Manises UFO incident took place on 11 November 1979, forcing a commercial flight of the Spanish company Transportes Aéreos Españoles, with 109 passengers, to make an emergency landing at the Manises' airport in Valencia, Spain,[1] when they were flying over Ibiza.[2] After the emergency landing, a Spanish Air Force Dassault Mirage F1 took off from Los Llanos Base in order to intercept the mysterious object.[3]
It is the most famous UFO sighting in Spain.[4]
