Morocco (BBU)
At approximately 9:35 p.m., the control tower at
Nouasseur
informed the C-47 number 9181 that had observed
the object
earlier, that GCA radar had detected four objects on
their screen
and there were only three aircraft known to be in the
area. Shortly
thereafter, Nouasseur tower requested that the C-47
number
9181 return to vicinity of where the unidentified
object was last
seen. Upon returning to Nouasseur, the object (light)
was still
visible on the ground and still
exhibiting the same
irregular fluctuation in intensity. This was
reported to Nouasseur
tower. During this time the C-47 was advised that the
Airdrome Officer
at Nouasseur was directing a ground party to
the vicinity. The C-47 flew a circular
pattern around where
the object was and turned on their landing lights and
even dropped a
flare to help guide the
ground party to the location of the light. The
C-47 circled
the location for approximately 45 minutes at
altitudes as low as
1000 feet. At around 10:15 p.m., the
light was no longer visible. At 11:09 p.m., Port
Lyautey picked up
an unidentifed object between 5,000 and 9,000 feet
over Casablanca,
approximately 15 miles north of Nouasseur Air
Base, on their radar
and believed that it is a jet aircraft. CZ Flight
Service said we do
not have any jet aircraft flying in the area. Possible
nuclear
connection (see report below).Detailed reports and documents (36) docs/530325frenchmorocco_docs.htm 530325frenchmorocco_ncp_wilson.htm |
