New H I 21-cm spectra in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud covering a stretch of 14 deg along declination -67 deg, and thus extending well outside the boundaries on the sky of that galaxy, show unambiguously that the high velocity interstellar absorption first seen in satellite UV spectra originates in gas not associated with the Magellanic Clouds. In particular, the gas component seen near +70 km/s is presented in all recorded profiles. The gas at about +140 km/s is more localized but is seen outside the boundaries of the LMC at the same velocity as on the face of the galaxy.
