Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos

A Spanish researcher, Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos turns up again and again in the archive's files. He worked with the Spanish Air Force on declassifying its UFO files. On the Green Man of Talavera la Real he proposed hallucinatory delirium in one soldier, spread by hysteria and fear. In 2001 he and Ricardo Campo Pérez traced the glowing Canary Islands spheres to Poseidon C-3 missile launches. In 2020 he co-authored FOTOCAT Report #3 on the Antarctic sightings of 1965. He also published the Argentine Navy's form from the Trancas case.
