Algeria: Four physicians and a diplomat watch an oval light sweep the ground with a beam
At 7:30 p.m. one evening in late October 1976, four physicians and a diplomat in an undeveloped region south of Algiers, Algeria, watched a bright oval light dart silently around the sky for an hour, sweeping the ground with a faint downward beam.
Background
At 7:30 p.m. four physicians and a diplomat in an undeveloped region of Algeria south of Algiers watched a bright oval light on the horizon heading toward them. The object cast a faint beam downward, sweeping the ground, as it darted silently around the sky. It was bright when in motion but faint when it stopped. After an hour it faded, leaving a glowing space in the dark sky. Eberhart cites the "Foreign Forum" column in International UFO Reporter (April 1977). 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.
