MEMORANDUM FOR: Major O'Keefe
SUBJECT: Location of UH-1H
1 June 1981
The following information was acquired through debriefing of an undeveloped
source concerning the location of a missing UH-1H helicopter.
1. Source was asked to provide azimuth and distance, as best he could,
from the following geographic coordinates to the crash site.
040
23'
40"
5/0790
25'
20" W;
202?, approximately 30 km

040
21'
30"
S/079?
24'
00" W,
3600 or 1.80?, approximately 20 km
The above azimuths relate to true north.
2. When asked about a terrain feature known as "Piedra Blanca", source
described a large hill/mountain with a white stone face. Source felt that
the crash site was located within 3 kilometers of "Piedra Blanca" on the
backside of a hill (see sketch).
3. Source felt that the UH-1H had to make an alteration in its course due
to extreme weather conditions. Due to decreased visibility and unfamiliar
terrain, source feels that the pilots of the UH-11-I were lost.
NOTE: All information provided in this memorandum is unconfirmed and unevaluated.
