 .'fr SMDNE-'iSAILiN OBJECT OUR BSA -- Tangier, Espana, R2 May 52
 Barcelona, 21 May -- As I crossed Jose Antonio Avenue: on my, way to the
 newspaper office, I saw a strange. object flying at high speed from the direc-
 tion of Prat Airport, about 2,000 meters above ground, and leaving a wide smoke
 ,:.trail. It did not look like an aircraft (neither Prat nor Sabadell airport ad-
 ' itted any knowledge of the object), and unlike the so-called flying saucers,
 .1t was proceeding in a straight line, without emitting flashes of light or re-
 volving on an axis.  The object seemed to me to be rocket-shaped, and the smoke
 came out of two points close together, merging into a single streak.
 J r colleagues at the office saw the smoLs but not the object.  Over Beda-
 lona, about 10 kilometers-away, the object stopped trailing smoke, disappeared
 for a few seconds, and reappeared, again emitting smoke, several kilometers
 farther away.  The newspaper office vas soon flooded with telephone calls from
 people who had seen the object.  A friend of ours took the picture of the smoke
 trail.  -- Valentin Garcia
 The picture shove a diagonal stripe of diaiaishing width and lighter in
 shade than the sky over the dark bulk of a building cornice.  It is attributed
 to Francisco Andreu.  The caption says that the picture was taken "on 17 May,"
 although the report is dated 21 My
 UNISUAL OBJECT OVER TUEIBIA -- Algiers, Echo d'Alger, 4 Jun 52

 ject traveling at dizzy speed from west to east and emitting a pale green light.
