Soubré object over the town
On the same evening as the Danané sighting in September 1954, an object was reported arriving fast over the horizon at Soubré, Côte d'Ivoire, hovering over the town for several minutes and then climbing away.

The account
The head administrator of Soubré was among the witnesses. The two towns are about 250 km apart, which the press took as confirmation, although it can also mean that both saw the same distant object in the sky.
The sceptical view
Two reports of a light on the same night, far apart, point to one astronomical or atmospheric source rather than a low craft.
