UFO reported in Cairo in 1956

Summary

In July 1956, a UFO report was received from Cairo, Egypt. A civilian photographer captured images of seven objects arranged in a circle. Two of them were identified as birds by their wings, while the other five were considered possibly birds, although their flight posture hid the wings. Additionally, three spots on the film were attributed to scratches or abrasions. Despite the lack of written information, the photographic material was analyzed.

The official evaluation concluded that the objects were likely birds, and not unexplained phenomena. However, the international nature of the case and the absence of additional data led to a careful review. The analysis found no evidence of unidentified objects, suggesting the phenomenon was natural, though intriguing.
