This Central Intelligence Agency memo, dated 9 February 1978, went from the Chief of the Minneapolis Office to the Chief of the Domestic Collection Division. It passes on a caller's report that might relate to the Soviet satellite that fell in Canada on 24 January 1978. The caller said that on 27 January, while crossing a bridge on his way to work, he saw an odd object coming down in the sky. No description was obtained, and the office said it would pass the information to the Air Force.
