Black cigar shaped object spotted over Morocco
This incident happened an afternoon during the summer of 2014.
I was playing soccer at a holiday residence near the town of M'Diq, in northern Morocco. While I was having a quick break, I spotted a black spot about 10 nautical miles away from my position, at an altitude of approx. 5000 feet and below the horizon. I was an aviation enthusiast at the time and it was clear to me that it wasn't a common aircraft. I also knew that the airspace where I spotted the object was restricted due to the King's property below it (T-VFR AREA E) and no aircraft were allowed to fly through it (except the Moroccan Air Force I believe).
While I was trying to make myself believe what my eyes were registering, a bunch of guys spotted it as well, confirming that it wasn't just my imagination. The black cigar-shaped object moved steadily on an eastbound direction towards the Mediterranean Sea and with no signs of acceleration or abrupt movement disappeared. It felt like a very well done fade out filming transition. Nobody said nothing and we kept playing soccer like it never happened.
I'm currently a commercial pilot and I can, even more, confirm than the shape and directional movement of the craft was something that I have never seen. Weirdly enough I tend to forget this incident. I remember times where the UFO subject popped up on conversations and I couldn't remember nor share the incident. It feels like my brain tries to erase and hide this incident as if it was a traumatic experience...
Another thing that I wanted to add is that that area of Morocco, between the cities of Tangier, Tetouan, and Ceuta is known for UAPs sightings. Since I was a kid I heard my elders sharing stories of 'stars moving rapidly' or 'stars dividing into little stars' and steady floating lights at night. I was always very skeptical and I always thought that they may have spotted military aircraft from the nearby USAF and RAF bases of Rota and Gibraltar, but after my own experience, my perception changed radically.
As I mentioned, I'm very skeptical and the UFO matter, even with my experience, is still something that I find a hard time to believe and support. I remember judging colleagues at my air operation sharing their sightings experiences thinking that they are crazy, and that might be the reason why my brain just wants to eliminate that memory, to probably protect me from judgment and to be seen as a crazy person. I feel weird/scared to write this down and share it but I want to help people that believe and fight for the truth about this matter. Good luck
