◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
The Meknès Bright Spot
At 13:00 on 7 June 1952 a bright spot crossed the sky over Meknès in French Morocco so fast that T-33 jets near the air base looked "very slow by comparison", one of two witnesses said. It trailed white smoke without a sound, flew a parabola, stopped and vanished towards Ifrane. The CIA knew it from an Echo d'Alger item it collected. This is the record of what was reported, not a verdict on what flew over Meknès.
