Some rather excitable commentators on Spanish social media have been going on about a "ghost plane" overflying their towns around midnight. The 'unusual sound' seems to be feeding their concerns, although the 'plane was cruising at FL 25, so they must have sensitive ears!

For non-Spanish speakers, it turns out to be an AN12 cargo making 4*week flights from West Mids (article says London -close-) to Morocco. Seems that the noise of 4 turboprops has spooked the natives.
