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.”
