[FPSPACE] Mars-96 Impact Location -- Any Russian official source EVER admitted it was Andes Mountains?

[Bart Hendrickx]

In April 1999 there were reports about debris having been found in
Argentina. See this article in Novosti kosmonavtiki :

http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/content/numbers/197/36.shtml

And for what it’s worth : last year Quest magazine carried an interview with
NASA’s Thomas C. Duxbury, who witnessed the Mars-96 launch at Baikonur. He
claims that a US team was sent to the Andes to look for debris, or at least
that was the plan :

“After I return[ed] to the US, I received a call from a colleague working
for an Atomic Energy Commission contractor in Nevada. He wanted to know if I
had any idea why his company was putting together a crew to go down to the
Chilean Andes. The Russians were sticking to their story that the debris
fell safely into the Pacific Ocean, but the US was sending a crew to look
for something in the Andes
”.
