I have had a triple sighting of similar clouds here in Spain. I did send in a poor hurried report to you, but have re typed it with more accurate information. I have since the original report, been able to give the height of the mountain to the east, over which two of the clouds came, so low, that I only saw them as the rounded the top, and there was no space between the mountain and the lower cloud. They continued across the valley at this height. Linda Franklin.
Thursday 8th August 2004. Mazarron, Murcia, Spain.
Between 13.45 and 14.00. Hot day, temperatures in high 20’s C, light breeze, enough to stir the leaves, clear blue skies. No clouds to the north, east or south, Clouds forming to the south west, up and over the distant hills, and moving to the west. These hills start at about four miles south, and run down the coast southward.
Walking the dog up the road, in a northwest direction I noticed a bright white cloud ahead. It caught my notice, as there were no other clouds visible in the sky. It was intensely white.
I walked to within 150 yards of the end of this road, where at the end there are a line of trees, all about 40 to 50 feet high. This cloud seemed to be very close behind the trees and low. Half of it was below the top quarter of the trees, the remainder in clear view. It was swirling like clouds do, changing shape and forming tails that broke off into small pieces of cloud, move away, and seemed to go back into the main cloud. Then the cloud seemed to evaporate a little and re build it’s self again. I watched for two or so minutes, and it disappeared totally. I turned back to home, but glanced back about 15 seconds later and the cloud was back again in the same spot.
On reaching home, I took my binoculars and went up onto the roof of the block of apartments. I estimate the deck to be about 65 feet high.
There are three blocks in a row all of about the same size, from the roof you can only see the roof of the next block. There sure enough was the cloud, but it must have been higher than it’s original position as it appeared to be a few feet higher then the top of the roof of the next block, and was quite close. It was doing as I previously described, shrinking, fading enlarging and disappearing. It did not drift in any direction, but remained in roughly the same spot, suddenly to vanish completely.
There were no other clouds in the sky remember. Suddenly a round cloud, appeared over the top of the hill to the west, a mile from here, it looked about half an inch across, remained stationary there for about a minute, then vanished.
The cloud re appeared in the original spot above the building within seconds of this.
The cloud evaporated again, and the round cloud appeared over the same hill slightly to the right and lower than before. It changed shape, ending up seeming to stand on end in a curved line, and just vanished.
It reappeared over the end of this line of hills three miles away to the north, remaining stationary. It did not appear to change shape, and seemed a little bigger than when it was closer.
I then noticed a large cloud appearing from behind the line of hills to the north, in direct line with the round cloud. It came slowly in a straight line, stopping a distance away from the round cloud. Neither moved as I watched for about a minute.
When the cloud came over the hill it must have been very low, as I only saw it as it came over the top. It seemed flat. Both the circular and the flat cloud remained stationary during the rest of the sighting.
When I glanced back in the to centre of the valley to my amazement there were ten or more small clouds over various parts to the west of the valley, some below and some above the top line of the hills to the north. These cloudlets changed shapes, evaporated or grew larger, some starting with a small dot of white, and developing into small clouds about the size of my little finger nail. The cloud over the roof was back again in the original position.
I became aware of a large cloud coming over the hills to the east, eight miles or more from here. It too must have been very low, as I only saw it as it came over the top of the hill. It slowly came in a straight line across the middle of the valley, between me and the hills that run north to east, four or five miles away.The hill is between 1500 and 1800 meters high. It was followed about 15 seconds later by an identical cloud, at the same height as before, and on the same flight line as the first. They were travelling at the same slow speed and kept the same distance. The first one at its closest point was between me and the hills to the north east, and would have been about two or two and a half miles from me at this point, and there was about two inches of sky between its bottom edge and the tops of the hills It seemed to be about 14 inches long and about half this width. These clouds looked like two slices of bread, they seemed rectangular in shape, the front edges being straight. I was not able to see he backs. Both the tops and the bottoms were flat, as were the sides. There was not movement within the clouds, and they appeared a little bumpy, so that a quick glance from below they would look like clouds. The first cloud reached a point almost level with me and all four clouds simultaneously began to evaporate,
There was not a cloud to be seen. After a few minutes the original cloud re appeared.
I had to leave at this point. Sighting lasted 25 minutes. On the roof.
At 18.00 hours I had to go out, and the cloud was once again over the trees at the end of the road. I did not have time to observe it, and it was gone when I returned an hour later. There were no other clouds in the sky anywhere.
I would like to add the following points.
The area was heavily populated with Holliday makers, most of whom would have been on the beaches, with their backs to the clouds. However one beach faces the hill to the east, over which the clouds appeared, and they would have passed directly overhead. There was no report of anyone having seen them.
Assuming that they had travelled in an straight line before I saw them, they would have passes between the city of Cartagena, and St Havier air base/airport.
Cartagena is the H.Q of the Spainsh Navy, and their are radar stations one the hills surrounding the city, and St. Havier is the Airforce Training base, and a civil airport. Even they would have shown up on the screens. My Spanish is not good enough to make enquiries. The one that travelled from the North would have passed close to the Army tracking Station thirty miles from here.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
