    Hi all:
    
    I have been reading a Spanish Army report concerning a *rare*
    observation which took place on October 13, 1968 at approximately 22:30
    CEST (20:30 GMT) from the town of Los Barrios (province of Cadiz, Spain
    / 36.1830N, 5.5000W), near of Strait of Gibraltar.
    
    By reading the description of the observation and date, it looks like
    that object could have been some stage of the Apollo-7 Launch Vehicle
    (Saturn-IB). As far as I know, lunar flights which were launched by
    Saturn-V rockets made a pass near of some locations in the province of
    Cadiz during the Earth orbital insertion, and I think the flight of
    Apollo-7 might have followed that trajectory also (please, correct me if
    I am wrong).
    
    Could anyone tell me where can I get the elsets for the Apollo-7 launch
    vehicle? Thanks very much in advance.
    
    Clear (and not too cold) skies ;-))
    Oscar.-
