UFOs · August 1952

A CIA foreign-document report, distributed in August 1952, compiling newspaper accounts from Tangier and Algiers of unconventional aircraft over Spain, Tunisia, and French Morocco. One dispatch, dated 21 May, describes a strange object flying at high speed from the direction of Prat Airport, about 2,000 meters above ground, and leaving a wide smoke trail. The report marks the information as unevaluated.
