MOONDUST: POSSIBLE RETURNED SPACE OBJECTS

This document is a classified telegram issued by the United States Department of State on December 1, 1976, concerning the recovery of two pieces of metal in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The objects were discovered on November 2, 1976, and were suspected to be space-related. According to the report, the items were shipped to Dr. Leger at the Directorate General of Intelligence and Security, specifically the Directorate of Scientific and Technological Intelligence in Ottawa. The U.S. government expressed interest in these objects, noting they might originate from a non-U.S. satellite. The telegram instructs the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa to obtain detailed photographic coverage of the objects and to secure full reports regarding any examinations conducted by Canadian authorities. Furthermore, the USAF Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the CIA's Office of Weapons Intelligence indicated a potential interest in participating in the examination of the recovered material. The embassy was requested to assess the feasibility of such participation and to report back to the Department of State in accordance with previous reference guidelines.
