Critics including Antonio Ribera and Jesús Beorlegui argued in El secreto de Urantia (Obelisco, 1988) and in Interviú-era coverage that large passages of J. J. Benítez's Caballo de Troya saga derive from The Urantia Book and Ummo letters without attribution; Benítez denies plagiarism—making the dispute a textual-criticism and Spanish media case, not proof of USAF time travel.

On the night of 11 November 1979 TAE flight JK-297 diverted to an emergency landing at Manises (Valencia) after red lights appeared to pace the Super Caravelle; a Mirage F-1 scrambled from Los Llanos, the file was later declassified (Aug 1994), and Socialist deputy Enrique Múgica carried the case into the Cortes in 1980.

The 2004 Nimitz "Tic Tac" encounters, AATIP/UAPTF/AARO institutional trail, and ODNI reporting created an official UAP paper path—document the sensors and bureaucracy without importing cartoon aliens.

In TVE's Planeta Encantado, the Mirlo Rojo episode presented alleged secret lunar alien structures via a claimed CIA source; skeptical journalist Luis Alfonso Gámez and others showed the footage was commissioned CGI, while a 2007 honor judgment awarded Benítez damages without forcing article deletions—a media-fabrication case, not lunar-base proof.

On 7 September 1974 journalist J. J. Benítez attended a 'programmed' UFO sighting on the Chilca sands of Peru while covering IPRI (Instituto Peruano de Relaciones Interplanetarias) for La Gaceta del Norte; the episode fed Ovnis: S.O.S. a la humanidad (1975) and sits at the root of the Sixto Paz Wells Misión RAMA contactee line he helped broadcast to Spain.

In 1979 J. J. Benítez packaged Spanish witness storms into Tempestad en Bonanza and related Televisión Española Operación OVNI collaboration—capturing his hinge from newspaper investigator to mass-media ufologist on the eve of the Manises book and the Caballo era.

Two Canary Islands mass-sky events—22 June 1976 and 5 March 1979—entered Spanish Air Force expedientes and popular ET lore; J. J. Benítez defended the 1979 night as multi-witness UFO activity while later reporting and declassified materials often favour missile or launch-plume readings.

In late Francoism Spanish UFO coverage fell under reserved/classified handling—commonly dated December 1969 in secondary ufology summaries—creating the secrecy climate that J. J. Benítez later attacked in Materia reservada (1993) and Franco: censura ovni (1999), and that the 1976 Galarza leak and 1990s declassification appear to breach in stages.

On 20 October 1976 Spanish Air Force chief of staff Lt. Gen. Felipe Galarza handed journalist J. J. Benítez twelve UFO dossiers at Air Headquarters in Madrid; Benítez serialized them in La Gaceta del Norte and published Ovnis: Documentos oficiales del gobierno español (1977).

Between roughly 1992 and 1999 Spain's Ministry of Defence and Air Force declassified about eighty UFO dossiers (~1,900 pages, cases 1962–1995) now in the Biblioteca Virtual de Defensa; J. J. Benítez denounced the process as wholesale manipulation aimed at Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and MOA/MAC officers favoring prosaic closures.

Groom Lake's Area 51 hosted U-2 and A-12/Oxcart flight test programs long denied in public; a CIA history of the U-2 acknowledges the site, separating that documentary base from UFO folklore layered on top.

From about 1966, Spanish recipients received elaborate letters purporting to come from UMMO (a planet tied to Wolf 424 folklore); J. J. Benítez later devoted book-length attention including El hombre que susurraba a los «ummitas» (2007), while critical literature identifies José Luis Jordán Peña as principal hoaxer—making Ummo Spain's premier contactee mail culture as documentary social history.

Spanish ufology split between J. J. Benítez's maximalist ET journalism and the Fundación Anomalía / Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos documentation style that closed celebrity cases with prosaic toolkits—Manises as Escombreras flares and planets, declassification as transparency rather than cover—creating a usable historiography node for The Archive.

From Jerusalén (1984) through Belén (2022), J. J. Benítez's twelve-volume Caballo de Troya saga relates a USAF time-travel operation to first-century Palestine via Maj. Jasón and Project Swivel—marketed with intermittent 'inspired by real facts' claims while also labeled a novel; Archive value is the documented literary-contactee phenomenon and reception, not verified DoD history.

J. J. Benítez's 1983 book El Ovni de Belén applies UFO hermeneutics to the Matthean star and Nativity tradition—later echoed in Caballo de Troya 12: Belén (2022)—a documented Spanish interpretive claim inside Catholic-vs-ufology culture wars, not an astronomical proof that the Magi tracked a spaceship.

In 1980 J. J. Benítez published Los astronautas de Yahvé, reading Yahweh encounters and Old Testament wonders as astronautic theophany—a documented paleocontact thesis that prefigures his later interview line of Jesús as 'gran extraterrestre' and the Caballo de Troya theological science fiction.

The U.S. Navy quietly patented technology for a UFO-like aircraft that can "engineer the fabric of spacetime" to ignore the laws of physics.

The 1947 Roswell incident involved the recovery of extraterrestrial craft and beings, subsequently concealed through decades of government disinformation.

On the morning of April 14, 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg, one of the most important cities in the Holy Roman Empire, witnessed something so strange that it would be remembered for centuries.

Marine explorers found a massive, 200-foot-wide disc-shaped object sitting at the bottom of the Baltic Sea that instantly cuts off all electronic equipment whenever divers get close to it.

Long before humans launched a single satellite into space, astronomers and the U.S. Navy detected a massive, dark object orbiting Earth in a retrograde polar orbit—something human technology couldnt achieve at the time.

In October 2017, astronomers detected a massive object speeding out of our solar system. Named ʻOumuamua (a Hawaiian word meaning a messenger from afar arriving first), it was traveling far too fast to be bound by the Sun's gravity. It was the first confirmed interstellar object in human history—meaning it came from a completely different star system.

An anomalous, metallic object passed incredibly close to Earth in 1991. It adjusted its speed, orbited the Earth like a satellite, and flashed a rhythmic signal at us—leading astronomers to openly speculate that it was an active alien probe before the military classified the data.
