SHORTLY BEFORE 1900, I HEARD MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS ON THE PORCH SHOUT: DADDY, LOOK, FIREWORKS. I WALKED OUT ONTO THE PORCH AND OBSERVED THE STRANGE PHENOMENON. THE FIRST THING I SAW WAS A VERY BRIGHT WHITE BALL FOLLOWED BY LIGHTED TAIL, SOMETHING LIKE A COMET. LATER THE LIGHTS MULTIPLIED AND I SAW SIX OR SEVEN OF THEM LINED UP, EACH WITH A TAIL THAT FOLLOWED A NORTH-TO-SOUTH TRAJECTORY. THESE LIGHTS REMAINED VISIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS. YESTERDAY I LEARNED THAT A GROUP OF SPECIALISTS FROM THE TERRITORIAL METEOROLOGY SECTION OF THE CUBAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ALSO VIEWED THE STRANGE SIGHT FROM VARIOUS AREAS OF THE CITY. ONE OF THEM, JESUS GOMEZ, SAW IT IN JOVELLANOS, 42 KM SOUTHEAST OF MATANZAS. (ORESTES GRIBAO), WHO IS A METEOROLOGIST AND FOR YEARS HAS BEEN *STUDYING UFO'S, WATCHED THE PHENOMENON IN THE VERSAILLES NEIGHBORHOOD.
