2. The observations of May 6, 1966~ we have reaSOn to belie~'E',
were lhose caused by the break-up of a SoViet spacecraft, probably
of Cosmos 117. On lhe other hand, the US fragments found in Rio Near c
had reentered on April 29, IB66 . · .
3. In order to be forthcoming, and in appreciation of the
Brazilians! cooperatiye attitude, NASA will forward to CNAE a share
of the fragments found. However, a share of the fragments had
to be broken up for analytical purposes, and a small share :s b~ing
kept by NASA. In this connection it is recalled that ilia UN resolution"
cited in Deptel 1833 sent Curitiba 11 (May 26, 19'66), clearly states th"lt
the title remains with the country of ori.gin. .
4 . Dr. Mendonca will also be interested in the enclosed ~olor
photographs of the sl'here that was retrieved by the BraZilian
fi::3hermen. The sphere was a pa,rt of the service module of the
AS 20i Apollo test, a. controlled, sub-orbital re-entry tf'st which
re';eulered, as planned, in mid-Atlantic.
