A CIA foreign-document report compiling newspaper accounts of unidentified flying objects over Spain, French Morocco, Algeria, Tangier, French West Africa, and the Union of South Africa from July to October 1952. One item, from Rabat's L'Echo du Maroc of 17 July 1952, says that at 2100 hours many people in Marrakech saw a large, luminous disk. The report marks the information as unevaluated.
