The case known as "the Incident at Shag Harbor".

In the night of 4 October 1967 the officers of the Royal canadian mounted police (RCMP) and six civilians witnessed an incredible spectacle. Earlier in the evening was received a lot of eyewitness accounts of the alleged plane crash.

eleven people independently of each allegedly witnessed in the night sky lights and the contours of a large object with a length of 60 feet (18,288 m), which is then crashed into water in Gulf of Maine and disappeared in the ocean. Original people, as they should from their posts, suggested that witnessed the crash of conventional aircraft, and immediately called the representatives of the canadian police, whose representatives arrived at the scene, reportedly after 15 minutes after the event.

Police immediately sent a request to the Rescue coordination centre in Halifax to obtain information about the aircraft that might have fallen in the area, and organized a search-and-rescue mission, joined by the canadian coast guard and local fishing vessels.

However, there was found no survivors, nor any wreckage of the alleged aircraft. The next morning centre in Halifax reported that no military or civilian aircraft, which could fly in the region is missing. Finally fruitless search was completed on 9 October.

The official history of the searches ends at this point, however, there is anecdotal evidence that subsequently in the region of the canadian and American military conduct secret search operation.

Original news

Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia
October 4, 1967

On the night of October 4, 1967, officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and six civilians witnessed an incredible, yet unexplainable, sight. Earlier in the evening, the RCMP had received many phone calls from residents reporting that an airplane had crashed into Shag Harbour. Both the RCMP and locals had rushed to the shore of the harbour, but what they encountered there was far from a conventional aircraft.

Witnesses reported seeing an object 60 feet in length moving in an easterly direction before it descended rapidly into the water, making a bright splash on impact. A single white light appeared on the surface of the water for a short period of time. The RCMP, with help from local fishermen and their boats, endeavoured to reach the object before it sank completely.

Local fishermen remember travelling through thick, glittery, yellow foam to get to where they saw the object. Bubbles from underneath the surface of the water appeared around the boats. The crews attempted to search the area for evidence of survivors, but found no one.

The Department of National Defence (DND) conducted an underwater search of the area, but failed to locate any evidence of an object.

The crashing of the unidentified flying object into Shag Harbour is still discussed today, with many articles appearing on the Internet. There is no trace of the RCMP reports of this sighting in the files. The Department of National Defence has identified this sighting as unsolved, and the only documentation that exists in the files is a DND memo.
