Narratives:

[Ref. lg1:] LUIS R. GONZALES MANSO:

Luis R. Gonzalez Manso notes in his FirstHumCat catalogue that on April 17, 1950, in Salamanca, Spain, at dawn, an elliptic flying saucer was seen over the city, and as a curious detail, the witness added that he "observed some silhouettes like people around the flying saucer."

Luis Gonzales indicates that his sources are a personal communication by Juan C. Victorio Uranga, and El Adelanto de Salamanca, for April 23, 1950.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Salamanca, Spain, on April 17, 1950, at midnight, a witness reported seeing a hovering disc-shaped object over the city. Through a transparent section on the craft he was able to distinguish several "human-like" figures moving around.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Luis Gonzalez Manso, First-Humcat.

Points to consider:

The information available for now is totally insufficient.

[ar1] talks of a transparent section according to source [lg1] but there is no such mention in [lg1].
