UFO sighted in French Morocco in 1954

Summary

In March 1954, an unidentified object was observed near Nouasseur, French Morocco. Several military pilots reported encounters with a luminous object performing maneuvers near their aircraft. Despite multiple observers including air crews and radar, no photos were taken and the data was considered insufficient for a clear evaluation. Researchers suggested it could have been a ground reflection due to a thermal inversion, but balloon or astronomical explanations were not ruled out.

The report, classified under Project 10073, was archived in the ATIC database. Although multiple sightings were recorded, including a stationary target on radar, no definitive conclusion was reached. The case remains an unresolved mystery, with incomplete data and no clear explanation. The file is kept as part of the historical records of unidentified aerial phenomena.
