◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
The Conde Sphere
On the night of 8 November 1963 a Rio de Janeiro radio station reported that a large metal sphere had fallen in the centre of Conde, in Bahia, Brazil, with a human body inside wearing heavy clothing marked with undecipherable inscriptions. The report reached the US space council and the State Department. The US consul in Salvador found the story "apparently fabricated in Rio", and reporters who rushed to Conde found no one who had seen any object. This is the record of a report and its investigation, not of an event.
