Initial data
August 16, 1968 in the Cuban newspaper has published an article entitled "a Strange object South of Havana province" El Mundo. There was reported that:
"Our office received many phone calls indicating interest in the flight of the strange object over the southern areas of the province of Havana. Many of them agree that this phenomenon was observed at about six-thirty in the morning on Friday".
At the same time, the first rocket with multiple return warheads (MIRV) was launched from Cape Kennedy. He was known as "Poseidon" with a range of 4800 miles. The missile is much heavier than the Polaris missile.
This newsroom contacted the Department of astronomy of the Cuban Academy of Sciences, who reported that the detected object is irrelevant to any atmospheric phenomenon and what its origin is, however, not established.
On the website inexplicata.blogspot.com also listed:
I add only two things: first, the object coincided in time and not in space with the launch from Florida (USA). Just look at the map of the Caribbean to understand how difficult it is to see an American rocket for its flight path. Also, why the UFO was not visible over the Cuban capital? Perhaps he was flying too low to be seen in Havana? Maybe it was detected by radar?
This author is convinced that it was a solid object and not of any anomalies in this area in the South-West of Cuba when it was possible to show that he had to be visible from the North, if it really was a rocket launched at the same time as the UFO, as required by the geographical latitude. The North will be the most suitable area. It wasn't a phenomenon in the upper atmosphere or in barium or sodium cloud (artificial) or some Northern lights, which sometimes can be seen on our archipelago.

Original news
Cuba: A UFO South of Havana (1968)
Those of us who approach UFO research in a responsible manner must not forget what the year 1968 meant within the world UFO context. August occupied a special place within the dissemination of the phenomenon in Cuba.
There was another sighting during that season which was added to others in the Caribbean at the time.
16 AUGUST 1968 - Bearing the suggestive title "Strange Object South of the Province of Havana", Cuban newspaper El Mundo reported the following:
"Our newsroom has received many phone calls showing interest in the flight of a strange object over the southern reaches of Havana Province. Many of these callers agree that the phenomenon was seen around six thirty in the morning on Friday.
"At that same time, the first multiple reentry vehicle warhead (MIRV) missile was launched from Cape Kennedy. It was known to experts as "Poseidon" with a radius of action of 4,800 kilometers. The rocket is far heavier than the actual Polaris missile.
"This newsroom contacted the Department of Astronomy of the Cuban Academy of Sciences, which reported that the object sighted bore no relation with any atmospheric phenomenon, and that its origin was nonetheless undetermined."
I am adding only two things: first, the object coincided in time, but not space, with the launch made from Florida (USA). It will suffice to look at a map of the Caribbean to realize the difficulty in seeing the American missile due to its flight trajectory. Moreover, why was the UFO not visible over the Cuban capital? Was it perhaps flying too low to be seen in Havana? Was it perhaps detected by radar?
This author is convinced a solid object was involved and not an anomaly witnessed from a given area in the Cuban southwest, when it could be shown that it ought to have been visible from the north, had it indeed been a rocket launched at the same time as the UFO sighting, as required by geographic latitude. The north would be the most appropriate area. It was not a phenomenon in the upper atmosphere, nor barium or sodium cloud (artificial) or some Aurora Borealis of the sort that is sometimes visible from our archipelago.
Nothing further was said, and it remains a mystery to this very day.
Hypotheses
Booster, the rocket and tracks
For UFOs often take stages of rockets, parts of space ships burning in the atmosphere, the launches of various missile technology for military purposes, etc., and traces from them. They attract attention mostly in the dark, but in the day time have a greater aura of mystery.
Formation of the track of the launch vehicle occurs in the tropopause (the layer between the troposphere and stratosphere), which sharply reduced the vertical temperature gradient. The emergence of the so-called "jellyfish" influenced by water vapor, which are subject to enhanced condensation.
