Background

The crew of a US Air Force C-5A Galaxy transport, flying at 500 mph at 37,000 feet, encountered a UFO over Moula Idris, Saudi Arabia. An RAF officer on detachment was flying the aircraft. He described the object as looking like two saucers joined together, surrounded by red, green and yellow and flying at 75,000 feet. Eberhart cites Good, Need to Know, and questions whether the place is Moulay Idriss Zerhoun in Morocco. 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.
