Material on Eloy Gutierrez Menoye

Central Intelligence Agency · 2026-03-17 · 53 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This Central Intelligence Agency file on Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, approved for release in 2026, collects cables, trace requests and index cards from 1965 to 1971. They follow his capture during an infiltration of Cuba from the Dominican Republic around December 1964 and his Havana television appearance, which JMWAVE judged demoralizing for exiles. Other cables cover an Army intelligence (ACSI) operation linked to him and letters he later smuggled out of Cuban prisons. The file does not discuss UFOs.
