Zarazua Ingore supported Captain Javier's decision to abort the flight path and perform an emergency landing at Manises Airport in Valencia after the unidentified objects matched the aircraft's altitude changes and maintained close proximity despite evasive maneuvers. The incident occurred on a flight carrying 109 passengers from Salzburg to Las Palmas with a refueling stop at Mallorca.
