Documents / Official release
This Clinton Presidential Library release holds NSC cables in a folder filed under "Flying Saucer or UFO" and dated February 1995 to May 1996. The withdrawal sheet shows three cables were withheld, among them "UFO Sighted" and "Paranormal Phenomena". The released cables include a US Embassy Baku media roundup and an FBIS summary of Peruvian television that mentions a UFO congress in Curitiba. An FBIS translation of Cuban radio reports a landed oval object near Torriente, Matanzas, and three objects seen over Sancti Spiritus in October 1995.

He watched the object for five minutes: [Zarate] I then looked at the grass over here. It was not too clear; it was a bit dark where I was standing. I said: Man, I must be hallucinating.
