Summary

DOS-UAP-D002 is a 20 November 1963 Department of State airgram, number A-628, from Amembassy Rio de Janeiro providing a negative report on a UFO reportedly sighted near Salvador, Bahia. Referencing the earlier Embtel 94 of 14 November 1963, it relays that Consul Harold Midkiff replied by telegram that the story of a strange object descending in the Conde, Bahia region appeared to have been fabricated in Rio and that no such object was seen by anyone in the area. Two newspaper clippings from Salvadoran journals substantiated the denial. The message notes that the Brazilian Ministry of Aeronautics categorically denied any strange object in the Conde area.
