Laketi, Republic of the Congo: Apostolic vicar and others watch a luminous globe maneuver

At 7:35 p.m., Monsignor Émile Élie Verhille, Apostolic Vicar of Fort-Rousset (modern Owando, Republic of the Congo), and others saw a UFO over the Laketi Mission in the Mossaka District; he reported it in a Brazzaville newspaper. A luminous globe arrived from the north and headed toward Laketi; it suddenly stopped, rose and fell, stopped again, gyrated and seemed to shake. A noise like that of an airplane engine was heard until the moment the object stopped. Through binoculars it showed a dark mass in the center with light rays of unequal length coming out of it alternately. After 15 minutes of maneuvers it shot back over the northern horizon. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
