Cigar-shaped UFO seen over Haifa

Summary

In January 1952, four men in Haifa observed a flying object shaped like a cigar emerging from the clouds. The object was quite low, moving at high speed, and had three bright lights—one at each end and one in the center. The sighting lasted between 80 and 90 seconds before the object disappeared after changing direction. Although multiple witnesses confirmed the event, insufficient detailed information prevented a conclusive evaluation. Authorities requested further data, including details of another sighting on December 30, 1952.

The testimony was published in the local Jerusalem Post, adding credibility to the report. However, there was no physical evidence or photographs to support the sighting. The visual nature of the testimony and the detailed description of the object suggest it could have been an unusual aerial phenomenon, though conventional explanations such as planes or balloons cannot be ruled out. The case remains open and unresolved.
