The incident occurred on May 4, 1966, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Not only was the UFO fragment recovered but the CIA could not determine the “country of origin.” Was it extraterrestrial? The document was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The document reads:
“The report concludes that the fragment was originally part of an electrical component and was constructed of a 0.010-inch-thick laminate of silicon steel.”
Was the object man-made? It is not clear. The CIA could not determine the country of origin.
The records are labeled ‘Poor Original’, indicating that the record they are publishing is the ‘best copy available.’ Despite that, there are some other things that can be deciphered outside of the “unknown country” origin. The physical material of some kind was obtained from a UFO that “fell to Earth” in Kerekere, Democratic Republic of Congo. Its measurements were 2”x 2”x 1” and it comes from some kind of 'electrical component.' In the “conclusions” section of the report, the experts thought it was an electrical component of some kind, but there was nothing that could be used to identify the country of origin. They were also able to determine that the surface appearance and the ‘microstructure’ of the part point to exposure to excessively high temperatures, about 2800+ degrees F. The CIA analyzed the fragment and obtained a chemical breakdown of what it was composed of, which includes carbon, manganese, silicon, nickel, etc.
The CIA had numerous photos of the artifact, whatever it was. However, being a 'Poor Original,' it is almost impossible to distinguish any detail of them.
Could it have simply been a fallen piece of space junk, either a satellite or other type of rocket component? Regardless, they were unable to fully identify it. The inability to determine the source could lead to the belief that it could be an artificial object of extraterrestrial origin.

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.
Featured in this edition:
A young Evanston, Illinois man is at a local self-storage facility. While there, he hears banging sounds and eventually investigates. He encounters a white fleshy red-eyed insect-like humanoid. He is frozen in place and terrified by this unknown monstrosity!
A Chicago woman is at her father's apartment. She is on the balcony taking a break when she observes a 'Glimmer Man' in the tree below her. There is another witness as well. She believes that the entity still inhabits the area and that she occasionally experiences a feeling of dread when visiting her father.
A Lawrence County, Kentucky woman tells her son about a hairy humanoid creature that would come down from the mountain and into her backyard at night. She has seen it twice. She describes it as an 'alien ape man.' Also, two Oklahoma feral hog hunters are set up in a field and using thermal scopes. The eyewitness observes an 8-10 foot tall hairy biped with a dog-like snout literally grab a large hog and rip it in half!
I will describe these incidents and others in detail and answer all questions.
