Background

A round, glowing object was seen approaching and then hovering above Danané by many people, among them the Catholic priest Fr. Myard, the local chief of police, a Dr. Mariani, a businessman named Sory Diallo and a group of women. At 9:05 p.m. the object moved again, changed from a circle to an ellipse and flew away. 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.
