AI-Generated Summary
A sighting of a luminous red sphere with four jet engines and wings occurred in Safi, Morocco, on February 1, 1966. Military authorities concluded there was insufficient data to identify the object.
On February 1, 1966, at 1930Z, multiple witnesses in the Sidi Ouassel district of Safi, Morocco, observed a luminous, unidentified object. The witnesses, who were located in front of a restaurant at the intersection of Portugal Avenue and Sidi Ouassel Road, reported that the object appeared as a red sphere equipped with four jet engines and four wings. According to the accounts, the object traveled at a very high speed at a very low altitude, moving toward the south. The witnesses described the event as 'fantastic,' noting that the object was bright enough to illuminate the entire district as it passed overhead, creating an effect similar to broad daylight. The report indicates that the meteorology station in Safi also confirmed the passage of a luminous, unidentified object. The official military evaluation, recorded under Project 10073, concluded that while the object was likely an aircraft, there was insufficient data to provide a definitive identification or evaluation.
