French Equatorial Africa: Missionary and Five Companions Observe Four Motionless Discs
On November 22, 1952, in French Equatorial Africa, a missionary and five companions witnessed four motionless discs that 'lit up like suns' for 20+ minutes, then formed a square pattern before departing. Objects also seen over Syria and Iran.
Background
A CIA IFDRB distributed August 18, 1953, related a November 22, 1952 account. A missionary and five companions in French Equatorial Africa had had a close encounter. Driving at night, they had witnessed four motionless discs overhead that lit up like suns when in motion but were silvery when stationary. Over 20 minutes the four moved about the area, seemingly performing tricks, then hovered momentarily before leaving non-uniformly.
Later the six witnesses saw four objects forming a square at cloud level. One lit up vivid red and rose vertically; the other three joined it to form a square again. Luminous aerial objects were seen in the same time period above Homs, Syria, and the oil fields at Abadan in west-central Iran.
