Summary

In March 1952, a German report mentioned sightings of unidentified flying objects over uranium mines in the Belgian Congo. According to the article, two glowing disks appeared in the sky, displaying movements impossible for the technology of the time: they zigzagged, rapidly ascended and descended, and emitted unusual sounds. A pilot tried to pursue one of them and estimated it was traveling at a speed of 1,500 km/h. The report detailed that the objects had a diameter of between 12 and 15 meters, with a stationary central core and a fiery outer rim.

The pilot, Pierre, described that the objects did not appear to be inhabited due to the extreme conditions. The report, considered unevaluated, even included a schematic of how the supposed "flying saucers" functioned, with jet propulsion and radar systems. Although all this could be speculation, Pierre's testimony, as a reputable officer, added a touch of credibility to an event that remains mysterious to this day.
