UFO Sightings in Morocco and Africa, 1952

Summary

During the summer and autumn of 1952, multiple witnesses in Morocco, Spain, and North Africa reported unidentified flying objects. In Marrakech, a luminous disk appeared suddenly in the sky, followed by a smaller one heading southwest. In another incident, five people in Moulay Bousselham observed a reddish object with blue edges moving rapidly. These sightings, published in local newspapers, described a variety of phenomena: from bright disks to cigar-shaped objects leaving luminous trails.

The sightings extended beyond Morocco. In Algeria, a railway agent observed an object moving at high speed, while in Spain, professors and residents reported oval and luminous objects. In South Africa, two meteorologists confirmed the presence of objects that did not resemble weather balloons. In a notable case, a pilot described a close encounter with a blue-green object moving at great speed. These events, though unresolved, generated widespread interest and were documented by local media.
