CIA-UAP-D022, Objet volant non identifié signalé près de Porto Rico, 1965
Description officielle
Ce dossier contient des notes de service de la Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) échangées entre le directeur adjoint chargé des activités spéciales (AD/SA) et le directeur adjoint chargé du renseignement scientifique (AD/SI) au sujet d'un incident impliquant prétendument un aéronef non identifié à proximité de Porto Rico. L'AD/SI était alors chargé d'analyser les avancées scientifiques étrangères et les menaces technologiques, telles que les capacités soviétiques en matière d'armes nucléaires, chimiques et de missiles balistiques. L'AD/SA gérait les opérations de reconnaissance aérienne classifiées de la CIA, y compris le déploiement d'aéronefs avancés tels que l'U-2 et l'A-12 OXCART. Ensemble, ces bureaux permettaient aux États-Unis de recueillir des renseignements essentiels sur des territoires contestés tout en évaluant avec précision les capacités techniques des adversaires étrangers pendant la Guerre froide. Les notes de service font référence à un incident survenu le 19 novembre 1964, au cours duquel un aviateur de la marine américaine a décrit avoir observé un objet non identifié « en forme de delta, de la taille d'un chasseur à réaction ». Le pilote a estimé visuellement la vitesse de l'objet à Mach 3 (environ 2 200 mph). Une piste radar correspondante, provenant d'un système AN/SPS-49 embarqué à bord d'un destroyer lance-missiles de la marine américaine présent dans la zone, l'USS Gyatt, a mesuré la vitesse de l'objet à 3 800 nœuds (environ 4 373 mph). Les notes de service indiquent que, selon l'AD/SI, l'objet pouvait être associé à des activités étrangères de collecte de renseignement, citant les essais de missiles actifs menés dans l'AFWR (Atlantic Fleet Weapons Range) comme constituant une cible de reconnaissance intéressante. L'AD/SA et l'AD/SI ont également écarté l'hypothèse d'un aéronef expérimental national, tel que le YF-12A OXCART, comme attribution possible.
✦ Résumé IA
Un ensemble de mémorandums de la CIA de six pages, classifié Top Secret, traité sous le système de contrôle BYEMAN au sein du compartiment du projet OXCART, concerne un objet non identifié détecté par radar et observé visuellement près de Porto Rico entre le 18 et le 24 novembre 1964, principalement le 19 novembre, impliquant le destroyer USS Gyatt et un pilote de chasse F-8C de la Navy opérant près de l'Atlantic Fleet Weapons Range. Le pilote a décrit l'objet comme étant en forme de delta, de la taille approximative d'un avion de chasse, avec des performances et une vitesse estimées à plus de Mach 3. Un câble du Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier, au CINCLANTFLT avait identifié l'objet comme un YF-12A, mais un mémorandum du 1er février 1965 de l'Assistant Director (Special Activities) indique que la CIA a persuadé l'Office of Naval Intelligence qu'il ne s'agissait ni d'un YF-12A ni d'un appareil Lockheed similaire, et demande à l'OSI d'analyser le film radar original de la Navy. Un mémorandum de suivi du 11 février 1965 de l'Office of Scientific Intelligence, signé par Donald Chamberlain, conclut que l'analyse détaillée du radar n'a révélé aucun UFO à haute altitude et à très grande vitesse, et que l'objet du 19 novembre était probablement un chasseur à aile delta dont les performances de montée étaient nettement supérieures à celles du F-8C, notant les essais de missiles programmés sur le polygone comme une cible de reconnaissance potentiellement attrayante, mais sans trouver de preuve d'activité de MiG-21 soviétiques depuis 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.

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.
