This declassified Navy intelligence report, found among National Security Agency records, was prepared by LCDR J. Giacomuzzi at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay and dated 13 August 1968. It describes a UFO that numerous personnel aboard ships and on the base saw on 11 August 1968. The object glowed brightly and left what looked like a spiral trail of smoke or vapor. The report suggests it may have been the decaying Cosmos 234 satellite, and it says crew members aboard USS Barry and USS LaSalle photographed it.
