//((REPORT BY 'CANDIDO DOMINGUEZ FROM MATANZAS))
((TEXT)) THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, A GROUP OF MATANZAS RESIDENTS,
*YOURS TRULY INCLUDED, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE UNIDENTIFIED
*FLYING OBJECTS, UFO'S, OVER MATANZAS CITY. SHORTLY BEFORE 1900, I
HEARD MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS ON THE PORCH SHOUT: DADDY,
LOOK, FIREWORKS. I WALKED OUT ONTO THE PORCH AND OBSERVED THE
STRANGE PHENOMENON. THE FIRST THING I SAW WAS A VERY BRIGHT WHITE.
BALL FOLLOWED BY LIGHTED TAIL, SOMETHING LIKE A COMET. LATER THE
LIGHTS MULTIPLIED AND I SAW SIX OR SEVEN OF THEM LINED UP, EACH WITH
A TAIL THAT FOLLOWED A NORTH-TO-SOUTH TRAJECTORY. THESE LIGHTS
REMAINED VISIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS.
YESTERDAY I LEARNED THAT A GROUP OF SPECIALISTS FROM THE
TERRITORIAL METEOROLOGY SECTION OF THE CUBAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
ALSO VIEWED THE STRANGE SIGHT FROM VARIOUS AREAS OF THE CITY. ONE OF
THEM, JESUS GOMEZ, SAW IT IN JOVELLANOS, 42 KM SOUTHEAST OF
MATANZAS.
(ORESTES GRIBAO), WHO IS A METEOROLOGIST AND FOR YEARS HAS BEEN
*STUDYING UFO'S, WATCHED THE PHENOMENON IN THE VERSAILLES
NEIGHBORHOOD. (GRIBAO) SHOWED SEVERAL PEOPLE A BOOK THAT HA8 A
PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN IN 1913 FROM THE TORONTO OBSERVATORY, CANADA. WE
ALL AGREED THAT WHAT WE SAW ON 21 DECEMBER IN MATANZAS IS ALMOST
IDENTICAL TO WHAT THE 60-YEAR-OLD PICTURE SHOWS. UNDOUBTEDLY, THIS
WILL BE A SUBJECT OF MUCH INTEREST TO YTHOSE WHO STUDY THE
*EXTRATERRESTRIAL UNIVERSE.
