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.

MET WITH CAUTION AT THE IRANIAN EMBASSY IN BAKU, WHICH ASKED FOR COPIES. THE GOI'S PERMISSION PRESUMABLY WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER DISTRIBUTION. "SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGNS" AND MONOPOLIZED DISTRIBUTION --- 13. THE AZERBAIJANI OFFICIAL MEDIA HAVE PUBLISHED RESULTS OF "SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGNS" (A TERM INHERITED FROM THE DECADES OF THE SOVIET PERIOD WHEN EVERYONE FROM SCHOOL CHILDREN THROUGH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY, WAS OBLIGED TO SUBSCRIBE TO APPROPRIATE PUBLICATIONS). ACCORDING TO NAZIM NOVRUZOV, CHIEF OF "AZERMATBUATYAYIM" (AZERBAIJANI PRINTED MEDIA DISTRIBUTION) PRODUCTION UNION, "AZERBAIJAN MUALLIMI" (AZERBAIJANI TEACHER), THE WEEKLY ORGAN OF THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, HAD THE BIGGEST NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS OBTAINED IN THIS WAY: 13,656 OF THE CIRCULATION OF 15,728. IT IS FOLLOWED BY "AZERBAIJAN," THE OFFICIAL DAILY (3,613 OF 26,282), "MUBARIZ KESIKDA" (ON GUARD) OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS (2,792 OF 13,003) AND "MADANIYYAT" (CULTURE) OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE (2,222, WHICH IS ALMOST ALL ITS CIRCULATION). 14. THE IMPRESSION FORMED BY THE REPORT THAT THESE MIGHT BE AMONG THE MOST POPULAR PUBLICATIONS IN AZERBAIJAN IS FALSE. THE MINISTRIES SIMPLY OBLIGED THEIR PERSONNEL TO SUBSCRIBE. MINISTER OF EDUCATION LIDIYA RASULOVA SIGNED ONE SUCH DECREE, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN "AZERBAIJAN MUALLIMI." THE "REQUEST" WAS ADDRESSED TO ALL THE MINISTRY'S VASSALS, STARTING WITH THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION OF THE NAXCIVAN AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC DOWN TO HIGH SCHOOL DIRECTORS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. THE MINISTER ASKED THEM TO "TAKE NECESSARY ACTION IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR" SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND RESULTS WERE TO BE TELEPHONED. 15. "QASID" (COURIER) COMPANY, THE BAKU BRANCH OF "AZERMATBUATYAYIM" WHICH ENJOYS A CONSIDERABLE DEGREE OF INDEPENDENCE, BECAME THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE "EKRAN-EFIR" (SCREEN-ETHER) WEEKLY AND HELPED RESTART THE LATTER'S PUBLICATION, WHICH HAD BEEN SUSPENDED LAST YEAR DUE TO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.
