CIA-UAP-D022, Objeto volador no identificado reportado cerca de Puerto Rico, 1965
Descripción oficial
Este archivo contiene memorandos de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA) intercambiados entre el Subdirector de Actividades Especiales (AD/SA) y el Subdirector de Inteligencia Científica (AD/SI) sobre un incidente que presuntamente involucró una aeronave no identificada en las cercanías de Puerto Rico. El AD/SI era entonces responsable de analizar los avances científicos extranjeros y las amenazas tecnológicas, como las capacidades nucleares, químicas y de misiles balísticos soviéticas. El AD/SA administraba las operaciones clasificadas de reconocimiento aéreo de la CIA, incluido el despliegue de aeronaves avanzadas como el U-2 y el A-12 OXCART. Juntas, estas oficinas permitían que Estados Unidos recopilara inteligencia crítica sobre territorios en disputa y, a la vez, evaluara con precisión las capacidades técnicas de los adversarios extranjeros durante la Guerra Fría. Los memorandos hacen referencia a un incidente ocurrido el 19 de noviembre de 1964, en el que un aviador naval de EE. UU. describió haber observado un objeto no identificado con “forma de delta, del tamaño aproximado de un caza a reacción”. El piloto estimó visualmente la velocidad del objeto en Mach 3 (aproximadamente 2200 mph). Una traza correspondiente de un sistema de radar AN/SPS-49 a bordo de un destructor de misiles guiados de la Marina de EE. UU. presente en la zona, el USS Gyatt, midió la velocidad del objeto en 3800 nudos (aproximadamente 4373 mph). Los memorandos indican que, en opinión del AD/SI, el objeto pudo estar razonablemente asociado con actividades extranjeras de recopilación de inteligencia, citando las pruebas activas de misiles dentro del AFWR (Atlantic Fleet Weapons Range, o Campo de Pruebas de Armamento de la Flota del Atlántico) como un objetivo atractivo de reconocimiento. El AD/SA y el AD/SI también descartaron aeronaves experimentales nacionales, como el YF-12A OXCART, como una posible atribución.
✦ Resumen IA
Un paquete de memorandos de la CIA de seis páginas, clasificado Top Secret, manejado bajo el sistema de control BYEMAN dentro del compartimento del proyecto OXCART, trata sobre un objeto no identificado rastreado por radar y observado visualmente cerca de Puerto Rico entre el 18 y el 24 de noviembre de 1964, principalmente el 19 de noviembre, con la participación del destructor USS Gyatt y un piloto de caza F-8C de la Marina que operaba cerca del Atlantic Fleet Weapons Range. El piloto describió el objeto como de forma delta, de un tamaño aproximado al de un caza a reacción, con un desempeño y una velocidad estimados en más de Mach 3. Un cable del Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier, al CINCLANTFLT había identificado el objeto como un YF-12A, pero un memorando del 1 de febrero de 1965 del Assistant Director (Special Activities) afirma que la CIA persuadió a la Office of Naval Intelligence de que no se trataba de un YF-12A ni de una aeronave similar de Lockheed, y solicita que la OSI analice el filme de radar original de la Marina. Un memorando de seguimiento del 11 de febrero de 1965 de la Office of Scientific Intelligence, firmado por Donald Chamberlain, concluye que el análisis detallado del radar no encontró ningún UFO de gran altitud y velocidad ultra alta, y que el objeto del 19 de noviembre fue probablemente un caza de ala delta con un desempeño de ascenso significativamente mayor que el del F-8C, señalando las pruebas de misiles programadas en el polígono como un posible atractivo de reconocimiento, pero sin hallar evidencia de actividad de MiG-21 soviéticos desde Cuba.

Detailed analysia of the radar photography of 19 Novemoer i7o4d and review of agesaciated currespoadence indicate that there was, aa f6ct, no Bigh altitude ultra-bigh-speed UFO north of Fuerte Bics cuifing the io-24 Novemoer 1964 period. There were, however, appareatly valid tracks and/oy observations of unidentifiea aircrait in the viciaily of the Atlantic Fleet Weapon Ranges on 16, 1/7, 18, 14, and 24 Novemoer 1944. 2. Relative to the laciceat duriug the evening of 19 Novemwer, the Us Navy F-s8C pilet wae aisle tu distinguish the object aa a delta shape about the gise of a jet fighter, reported it 2a having much bigher performance, and estimated object speed te be in excess of Mach 3. The USS Gyatt raported « radar track ia excess af Jd00 Kaste. 4, Daving this incident, radar photographs were takea of the SPS-49 radar ¥?1 preseniatiog.

OSI and OSA, we believe, received similar information regarding a UFO in the vicinity of Puerto Rico during period 18-24 November 1964, As you can see by the cable originated by the Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier, to Commander in Chief Atlantic Fleet, date time group 01/2048Z December, CINCLANTFLT was informed that UFO identified by CO Ramey as being YF-12A. We think ONI finally convinced, through our efforts, that UFO in fact not YF-12A or similar category Lockheed Aircraft. 2. Navy has provided, at our request, pertinent traffic on this subject, as well as original radar film, Attachment 1, with accompanying prints of same, Request OSI, possibly in conjunction with OEL, evaluate the radar photography to determine if any further information can be gotten through a thorough scientific analysis of the material relative to a high speed, high altitude UFO. 3. Request on completion of OSI study that the attached documents, film and prints be returned to the TCO/BCO/OSA for return to Navy. ACK C.
