UFO Journal Article:
“A ‘VALENTICH TYPE’ OF CASE
OFF PUERTO RICO”


By Jorge Martín, Editor of EVIDENCIA OVNI (Puerto Rico) and Flying Saucer Review Consultant
Volume 43, No. 4, Winter 1998
(Flying Saucer Review, London, UK)

José Alberto Pagán Santos (aged 22) (pilot) and his friend José Luis Maldonado Torres (both Puerto Rican citizens) disappeared during a flight from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico on the evening of 28 June 1980:


Quote from the article:
“Lt. (José) Pagán (the father of José Alberto Pagán Santos) went off with Carlos Busquets to the F.A.A. (Federal Aviation Administration, U.S.) and demanded that he be permitted to listen to the tape. The Federal Authorities at first refused to comply but finally, in deference to his own position as a police officer, permitted him to hear it.

The tape made a profound impression on Lt. Pagán, because it confirmed that the two young men had reported that a strange flying object was harassing them and blocking them off from their course towards San Juan. After three messages, the communication had ceased, and the plane and the two young men had vanished.

The U.S. Federal Authorities at the F.A.A. in Isla Verde refused to let Lt. Pagán have a copy of the tape, and requested him not to speak about the affair.”
