5 Compelling UFO Cases
theweeklyrambler.com/5-compelling-ufo-cases/
Hey all. You may have noticed last week that there were no blogposts. I decided to take
that week off for a number of reasons. The first is it was my birthday on Monday so I
decided to just relax a bit, but on top of that I at the same time was busy with my health
and social care course and also a young film event programming group I am a part of (so
it wasn’t really a full week off).
This week is still kind of busy but I am going to try and get two blogposts up anyway,
although they will probably be shorter blogposts again. From next week things should
start calming down and I should be able to focus more on my larger blogposts again,
including continuing the government system series.
2/16
Lately I have been in a rather paranormal mood again for whatever reason. I feel a
certain hungry nostalgia for it and so I have been listening to some podcasts on the
paranormal over the last week. I love to be fascinated by these things, although I have to
admit I am a lot more sceptical now a days, but still maintain a fairly open mind
nonetheless.
This blog has stepped back from the paranormal focus it originally had mostly because I
felt like other places were already largely covering the paranormal and I did not really
know what difference I could bring to it here that would bring people over from more
popular paranormal blogs.
But I also did say that I would still do blogposts on paranormal stuff now and again as well
when in the mood for it, and right now is one of those times. So, today I thought I would
look into five compelling cases of UFOs. We have already done some blogposts on UFOs
before, and to me it is always very interesting.
I love to consider that there may be something out there, that already knows we exist
here and are observing us. One of the big reasons I am an X-Files fan is because of its
alien focus. At the same time UFOs to me are also fascinating because there is the much
more likely possibility that they are experimental military technology, in some cases.
I understand that the vast majority of UFO cases are simply just usual objects and things
that are being mis-identified due to distance, poor visibility and optical illusions. Some are
also hoaxes as well unfortunately. But still, I like to consider that at least some of them
may be experimental technology or even possibly alien observers. Some go as far as to
say that some of these craft are experimental reverse-engineered alien technology, this I
am much more doubtful of.
I really do not think we would have the ability to take down an advanced alien space craft
and even if we did, we would probably not have any understanding of it whatsoever.
When something is reverse-engineered it is not done on technology that is far removed
from our own and is not a big leap and bound scenario. It is basically taking a concept
that was already likely being worked on anyway, but allows working on that concept to be
much faster.
I reckon if we caught alien technology by some miracle, there would be nothing close to it
that exists in our own technology that would enable us to do anything useful with it. It
would be far beyond our understanding and perception, and would probably not match
anything currently being worked on. If anything, the alien technology would take
generations to have any useful value, if at all.
Westall School UFO Sighting – Australia, 1966
3/16

I chose this one as it reminded me of a similar compelling case that took place at a school
in Zimbabwe that I have featured on one of my blogposts in the past. It is always much
more extraordinary when a sighting of a UFO is a mass sighting, and not just seen by one
or a few people. It makes it much harder to simply discount it, are that many people really
making such a huge mistake?
I mean, it is not impossible. It could be people become suggestible to what others are
seeing and it just spreads like that. But we still nonetheless do not know what they have
seen. And this case seems to also go beyond just being a simple sighting. Let’s dive
in…
This case took place in 1966 in Melbourne, Australia at the Westall primary and high
school. It has been reported that over 300 children and a number of staff witnessed UFOs
in the air, flying over the school and then apparently landing in a nearby field, although
accounts vary on what exactly happened. So, quite reminiscent of the incident in
Zimbabwe, although the children were not traumatized by alien occupants.
The claim of how many UFOs were seen seems to vary with anywhere from one, two, or
three that were seen. This may be grabbed on to by skeptics to discredit the story, but we
also have to remember that memory simply is not the best thing in the world and very
often becomes distorted over time. I know I question my old memories from childhood
and other similarly years old memories. The general consensus seems to be that there
was at the least one UFO.
Perhaps the most uniform account comes from a teacher who witnessed the event and
was interviewed. Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher at the school during the incident.
He described how a child in hysterics ran into his classroom and gave attention to a flying
4/16
saucer outside the school.
At first Greenwood ignored him thinking the child was acting deranged, but eventually
caved to going out to have a look when the child continued to insist. Upon going out he
noticed that a group of children were watching something over to the northeast in the sky
and upon looking himself he describes seeing the object.
He said that the UFO was hovering close to a powerline and described it as round and
silver, the size of a car, and a metal rod sticking up off the craft into the air. More children
and staff gathered to watch the strange spectacle, and soon even planes joined,
apparently five of them, which began playing cat and mouse with the UFO.
Greenwood said that he was amazed at how well the planes were able to fly, and
surprised none of them crashed into each other, considering how erratic they were flying
while in pursuit of the UFO. The UFO was able to easily keep away from the planes by
slowly accelerating forward, then rapidly accelerating, then stopping and repeating again
whenever the planes tried to get close.
This strange affair went on for around 20 minutes and by this time over 300 children and
a number of staff had gathered to watch the show. Eventually the UFO shot away and
vanished within mere seconds, the headmaster of the school soon came out and ordered
everyone to go back inside. Greenwood does not seem to mention the UFO landing, like
some others do, and there seems to be just one UFO in his account.
Greenwood claimed that the headteacher had watched the spectacle from inside the
school, as he was too scared and disturbed by it, so much so he waited for it to go away
before coming out to order them in.
Greenwood also said the headteacher attempted to squash anyone discussing or talking
about the incident, reportedly even lecturing to students that they would be severely
punished for talking about it, and that staff could be fired for doing the same.
There were rumors that officials and men dressed in black were silencing witnesses as
well. Greenwood claims that some of those he talked to about the incident, who had also
experienced seeing the UFO, would later refuse to speak any more about it, as if
someone had gotten to them and told them to be silent.
There are also a few other bits that don’t exactly match up with this account. Specifically,
the part about the UFO (or UFOs) landing in a nearby field/reserve, and that students had
ran towards the area in an attempt to investigate before the UFO lifted off and darted off,
Greenwood did not mention any of this. Witnesses also claimed that a circle of scorched
grass was left where the UFO had actually landed (rather than just shooting off); others
claimed there were more than just one of these markings.
Other witnesses also do not recall seeing any planes chasing the UFO.
5/16
Another witness was Shaun Matthews, who was not a student or staff member of the
school, but a young boy whose family leased land at the Grange reserve for horses (an
area where some claimed the UFO/UFOs landed for a short time). He claimed to be there
during the sighting, saying he saw the object come across the horizon and drop down
behind pine trees (on the reserve), he did not know what it was but said it was not any
kind of light aircraft typical of the area (due to a nearby airport).
He said the object eventually flew off. He also claimed that there was a circle indentation
cooked or boiled into the area where the UFO had apparently landed, and that kids from
the school soon descended on the area to investigate whatever had landed there. So
again, this account does not exactly match up with Greenwood’s.
Matthews said the object was about the size of two family cars, silvery but with a sort of
purple hue to it, and fairly bright. Matthews though says he did not see any planes tailing
the UFO. He did say that some police and other officials interviewed his mum but that is
as much as he remembers. He also does not remember any burning of the landing site,
which some people claimed authorities did after the incident.
Others have said that the UFO never landed and merely hovered over the reserve. So, it
does seem there are a number of conflicting accounts of what actually happened.
Unfortunately, that does seem to be the case a lot of the time. But I think it is certain that
something strange was still nonetheless seen on that day. Some say it may have simply
been an experimental aircraft, rather than anything out of this world.
My final conclusion is that they did see something, but that it was likely only one UFO. I
think if anything it could have just been, as some say, an experimental craft. We all know
how over years and years such events can become exaggerated either due to dramatic
effect or false memories (or even a mix of the two), and I think that is probably what has
happened with the claim of additional UFOs.
As for the planes chasing the UFO and the UFO landing… this I am more unsure of
whether to discount or not, considering one of the main witnesses claimed it happened,
while another could not recall any planes, and one mentions a landing while another does
not. You would think it would be something everyone could recall… but here we are.

The Levelland UFO Case – USA, Texas, 1957
6/16
Image by Michal Jarmoluk from Pixabay
I found this one case to be amusing as all I could imagine was a giant luminescent egg
causing a general disturbance in the area. This one egg was certainly out to become one
of the most compelling eggs of all time. But enough of that, let’s actually get to what
apparently happened…
So… it all begun in November 1957 in Levelland when the sheriff’s department received a
call from a terrified man reporting that he and his friend had seen what they described as
a 200-foot-long rocket rise up from a field and barrel towards their truck on a country
highway 4-miles west of Levelland in West Texas.
The two men were so scared that they were about to be in a head-on collision that they
threw themselves out of the truck and into a ditch. The UFO though narrowly missed
hitting the truck, flying right over the top of it, a loud banging sound like a blast following
and rocking the truck. The engine of the truck then died and its lights went out, but only
for a moment before the truck’s engine resumed and the lights turned back on, the UFO
slinking out of sight.
Naturally the sheriff’s department were very skeptical of the report, but soon after this a
wave of reports would come in from others in the area about sightings of the same or
possibly other UFOs, including a number of egg-shaped ones (those pesky eggs!). Many
of the other reports also reported the UFO causing their vehicle engines to temporarily
stop and their lights to go off.
Eventually any doubt that the Sheriff (Weir Clem) had would be extinguished when he
himself claimed to have seen a or the UFO along with his Deputy at 1:30am. Levelland’s
fire marshal, Ray Jones, also soon had an encounter with a UFO that left his vehicle
temporarily facing difficulties with the motor.
7/16
An explanation offered by the air force and Project Blue Book is that it could have been
caused by electrical storms and the illusive ball lightning, although skeptics doubt this due
to the sheer size of the reported UFO. Plus, electrical storms don’t often cause this much
chaos. Others have also disputed by saying no electrical storm actually occurred on the
night in question.
History.com says that the real-life inspiration for a UFO making electronics in a car go
haywire in the Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie actually comes from the
Levelland UFO incident.
A newspaper column from the Leominster Daily Enterprise a few days after the incident
also talked of the egg-shaped UFO being spotted in neighboring New Mexico as well, and
that it also stalled a number of vehicles there.
I think it’s obvious in this case that we cannot deny that something strange did indeed go
down in Levelland and New Mexico, but whatever it was is hard to determine. Could it
have just been some kind of weather event or atmospheric phenomena… or was it some
kind of experimental craft or something out of this world?

The Canary Island UFO Sighting – 1976

Another interesting UFO sighting comes from the Canary Island’s as authorities were
unable to find an explanation for it and remains officially unexplained until this day. Many
people reported seeing the UFO. The whole event lasted over 40 minutes, and the UFO
was seen in multiple locations across the island. It was seen by both civilians and military
personnel.
The UFO was first spotted by a Spanish Navy corvette the Atrevida near Punta Lantailla,
Fuerteventura Island, quite the mouthful. They described seeing a bright yellow light
moving above the horizon which they originally believed was an aircraft that had its
landing lights on.
But things got stranger when they were unable to pick up a radar signature from the
object. The UFO eventually stopped glowing yellow and soon what is described as a
luminous rotating beam replaced it and lasted for around two minutes.
8/16
It got stranger yet as a glowing halo begun to appear around the UFO and it then begun
to split into two, a smaller piece that split away from the bottom and moved out of view,
and a larger piece from the top which climbed away in what was described as a rapid and
irregular spiral pattern. The halo seemed to persist for some time following the separation
of the objects, and that it lit up the water and nearby land, before eventually
disappearing.
The whole crew of the ship saw this incident. This alone is compelling enough
considering navy personnel and officials witnessed this unexplained event. But it would
not end there.
Next to get a taste of this strange UFO were the residents of the island from around
9:30pm local time. Sightings were reported in Grand Canary, Tenerife, La Palma, and La
Gomera. One of the strangest sightings would be recounted to the Spanish air force by a
doctor called Francisco Padron Leon, as well as by a taxi driver and woman.
According to his account he was riding a taxi from his home to see a patient in Las Rosas
on the island of Grand Canary. He said he saw a sphere glowing blue that seemed to be
hovering close to the ground ahead of the taxi.
He went on and approximated the hovering sphere to have a radius of 30 meters and that
it was sufficiently transparent to be able to make out the UFO’s occupants. He said that
he could make out two occupants within the transparent UFO working on consoles,
describing them as 2 and a half to 3 meters tall, and that they were wearing red clothes
(although another source claims the taxi driver said they were dressed in red, not the
doctor). He then claimed the sphere expanded significantly, rose up, and then shot away
in the direction of the island of Tenerife.
Additional information from the doctor is that he did not feel afraid but felt instead a sense
of peace and that he wanted to go to them. He also said that the morphology of the tall
figures was strange and it looked like they were sitting even while standing. He said they
had elongated necks; their hands were arrow-tip shaped and due to this seemed to be
gloved.
It is claimed that the taxi driver and several residents in the area also witnessed this
sphere. The taxi driver was interviewed as well according to one of the sources I looked
at. He also claimed to see the figures inside the UFO, saying they were dressed in red
similar to a diver. Drawings depict this red outfit as some kind of suit that covered the
head with a hole for the face.
The taxi driver also described the occupants as thin and Swedish-looking. The taxi driver
also said he was not really afraid, but instead more curious. He also describes the UFO
as having transparent glass. According to a taxi driver they were outside some house and
told staff to also come out and see the object, it around this time moved and left colourful
smoke.
9/16
There was also another witness, a woman who lived in a nearby town, she recounted that
she was home and her TV was off. She said that when she looked outside of her window,
she saw a large transparent blue ball and noted two figures inside of it, saying they
looked like men. She panicked at the sight of this, closed her window, and then prayed.
An investigation into the UFO incident was unable to match it with any known man-made
object or natural phenomena. Although the investigating officer doubted some of the
civilian reports, due to how unusual they were, he nonetheless did not rule the incident as
a whole as a hoax due to the trained military personnel witnesses.
One possible explanation is that the phenomena was the result of an at-the-time
classified US submarine-launched Poseidon ICBM tests. Of course this does not explain
the sightings of the strange beings.

The St. Clair Triangle UFO – USA, Illinois, 2000
Image by Stefan Keller from Pixabay
This sighting is a bit more modern than the others, although is still over two decades old
now, crazy right? This sighting, like others on this list, is more exciting as it was also
witnessed by police officers.
Interestingly the man to first sight the aircraft described it as a big flying house, which
must have been freaky to witness. It was later sightings, such as from police officers, that
describe it as some kind of triangular shaped craft.
It all begun on January 4 2000, so not long after the new millennium had begun, and the
worries of Y2K were behind. The first sighting took place in Highland, Illinois. It was
reported by Melvern Noll, a 66-year-old who owned a miniature golf course. It was this
miniature golf course he had gone to as to make sure the pipes on the premises had not
frozen during the cold winter night.
th
10/16
He had only just exited his vehicle when he witnessed a bright object in the sky that he
would report as looking like a flying house with windows on the top and bottom, with red
and white lights. He would report this to a police dispatcher who would then forward it on
to Ed Barton, a police officer in Lebanon, Illinois.
Barton was naturally not fully believing in the report, he initially enquired on whether the
dispatchers were pulling some kind of joke on him, and when realizing they were not
joking, he wondered whether the person who had reported it was drunk. He nonetheless
went to the area to investigate and also soon witnessed a bright light in the sky. He drove
towards the object before pulling over and exiting his cruiser.
Barton reported it as a huge object in the sky that was triangular shaped, longer than it
was wide, and had three white lights and one red light. The object eventually sped away
to the southwest toward Shiloh, Illinois.
Seeming to confirm it had sped off in that direction, police officer David Martin in Shiloh,
who was looking out for the object, also reported seeing something similar and that after
slowly hovering along it sped away in the same direction at incredibly fast speed, he said
it had three big bright lights on the bottom and did not make any sound. It would then be
reported by a third police officer, Craig Stevens, in Millstadt, who apparently took a
polaroid camera shot of it.
Stevens described the object as huge and moving slowly for its size, that it was arrow-
shaped and concave at the rear. He described three bright lights on the rear, one
centered and the other two at the left and right-most sides. He also described a strobing
light along the concave area, and a red blinking light was on the bottom.
They show the polaroid photo on one of the documentaries I linked below, you cannot
really tell much from it due to the poor quality and darkness due to it being the early
morning, but three white anomalies are present. All in all, this photo doesn’t really tell us
much more about the incident.
Next to see it was a police officer in Dupo called Matt Jany, he ended up reporting seeing
a similar object. Initially he had pulled up to the side of the road and got out of his cruiser
to scan the skies for the object that had been reported by other officers, before seeing it
he joked with another officer in the area about what he was doing.
Jany got back in his cruiser and drove about a quarter of an hour before he eventually
spotted something in the sky. He said it was not like any plane he had seen before and its
lights were quite bright. A nearby airport reported at the time that there should not have
been any aircraft in the area. Jany reported that the object eventually turned back to the
East.
There were also a number of civilian accounts of the UFO as well in the area with
sightings going on for over an hour before they ceased.
11/16
Even my little explanation here of what happens does not really do it justice and listening
to the original dispatches between officers who are investigating and then seeing this
thing is quite extraordinary to hear, certainly worth a listen to in order to get the full
perspective.
Overall, the main points are that the object seemed to be very large, triangular in shape,
silent (although one of the officers reported it made a low frequency buzzing), moved
unusually when taking into account usual physics and the size of the object, and was able
to suddenly move at an incredible rate of speed to reach nearby towns in seconds. It is
estimated that the object would need to reach well over 3,000mph to achieve this
distance in such short time.
Scott Air Force Base was nearby to the sightings and the UFO supposedly came within 1
mile of the base. The air force base claimed it did not see or detect any UFO, although it
did also say that the base no longer used radar and that its control tower personnel were
not on duty at the time.
People though debate if the air base was telling the truth as a military cargo plane had
been up in the air around the time of the UFO sightings, making it unlikely they would not
have some kind of detection system or any personnel in the control tower.
Explanations include it possibly being a B2 bomber (although the shape would not be
exactly correct as well as the lack of noise) or that it may have been an advertisement
blimp (which was suggested by the Federal Aviation Administration). Another popular
unofficial explanation is that it could have been some kind of experimental aircraft testing
out some kind of prototype electric propulsion system.
Electric propulsion is something that the federal government and air force has been
looking and researching into for decades although it is believed to be a very, very long
way away from reality if it ever becomes reality at all.
A massive amount of power would also be needed to be able to sustain such a large
aircraft as the one reported has been approximated as much as the entire US power grid
currently uses.

Shag Harbour UFO Crash – Canada, Nova Scotia, 1967
12/16
Photo by J5255 from Wikimedia Commons. CC BY-SA 4.0. Source.
Despite this one basically being Canada’s version of Roswell and it being described as
Canada’s most famous UFO incident; I’d be damned if I could find many articles on it. All I
could really find was a 47-minute documentary about it on Youtube on a channel called
Ocean Digital Entertainment.
So, I cannot really say how credible much of the information from the documentary is, but
then again, I can’t really say how credible anything on this list is because it’s all pretty
much unexplained. So, that’s the beauty of it, I guess.
Still though, I thought this was compelling enough to put on this list when you take into
account that Canada’s military got involved in investigating the incident, and that there
seems to be numerous sightings of the UFO itself in the area it took place.
The very short story of what happened is some UFO appeared in the Nova Scotia area
and eventually came crashing down into Shag Harbour. Let’s dive deeper…
Chris Styles was one of the witnesses during the incident, he was only 12 at the time and
it had a profound effect on him that would shape his future into investigating the incident,
collecting witness testimony and also writing books. When he made the sighting of the
strange object, he described feeling terrified and like he should not be there (he had run
out to view it).
He described a huge orange sphere that was tracing the shoreline from his vantage point
at Dartmouth in Nova Scotia, around 158 miles from Shag Harbour. After the sighting
Styles got a call from his grandfather who lived in Shag Harbour, his grandfather
described seeing lights in the sky and said that one of them had crashed into the waters
near Shag Harbour.
13/16
Laurie Wickens, a Shag Harbour resident who is now a fisher, was one of the first
witnesses (aside from his grandfather) that Styles talked to following the incident.
Wickens and some of his friends were driving home from a dance when they looked into
the sky and saw some flashing lights.
He described how one light after the other would turn on and then all turn off and repeat.
Although the lights were different to any plane they had seen before they still assumed it
must be a plane. Wickens noticed that the craft was flying strangely and believed it to be
in trouble, they then lost sight of it behind a hill as it crashed into the water.
They assumed it to be a plane crash and so contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, who are the national and federal police agency of Canada, to report it. He was the
first to report the crash in Shag Harbour.
The RCMP very quickly arrived at the scene where already a number of locals had
gathered to try and see what had happened. The locals there described seeing a pale-
yellow light that looked to be as much as 8ft above the water’s surface, and although it
was moving in the direction the tide was going, it seemed to be propelling itself faster
than the tide was moving.
Locals described the object leaving a wide trail of yellow foam behind it as it moved along
the water’s surface. Wickens described how the object just disappeared, not by sinking or
any other natural or known means, but that it just vanished.
Many of the people there though, including the RCMP, still assumed it was a plane crash.
The authorities soon contacted local fisherman to help with search and rescue efforts,
one of whom was Lawrence Smith.
Smith and his crew were one of the first fishing boats to set off to the scene, others soon
joining him. But when they got there, they did not find what they expected, there was no
visible wreckage, simply just the foam.
This yellow foam stretched for half a mile in length, Lawrence described that there was a
smell like sulphur. Although foam can occur along the coast and on the sea sometimes,
the fishermen did not recognize this foam as being normal at all. The sheer amount of it
was very strange, and it dissipated differently to normal foam, and its density was off, as
well as of course the smell.
Lawrence, who has been a fisherman for 45-years, said that he had never seen foam like
that in all the time he had fished there.
The RCMP soon contacted the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax who put out an
urgent call to both military and civilian sources. They asked for any possible information
on missing aircraft anywhere across the eastern seaboard. A Coastguard Cutter from
Clark’s Harbour was also dispatched to Shag Harbour to help with search and rescue
efforts.
14/16
By the time Cutter 101 arrived the strange foam had disappeared. The search continued
to try and find any signs of what could have hit the water, and also see if there were any
possible survivors. It was soon reported that no commercial, private or military aircraft in
the area were missing, seemingly ruling out the possibility of a plane crash.
Could this have been a lie? If it were for example some kind of experimental craft that had
crashed, but that had somehow managed to recover itself (via the strange way it
vanished), then the military could easily just lie about any plane/craft having known to
have been out there.
Officers of the RCMP had witnessed the event unfold alongside locals and initially they
had been quite cooperative with the media and others seeking more information, but
eventually they started to become more distant about the event according to those trying
to dig deeper into the mystery.
Wickens had asked one of the RCMP officers for more information who informed him that
they had identified the object as a UFO, but did not say much more than that. In my own
opinion it could simply be that they did not really have much more to say about it.
Navy divers did go to the area two days following the incident to investigate underwater in
Shag Harbour. The water in Shag Harbour is shallow but has a strong current, so there
was the possibility that any wreckage could have been swept out into the sea, but if it had
not been then it should be easy to find.
The dive investigation lasted two and a half days, after this they apparently left with some
package that they put into a military vehicle they had with them.
When asked by locals what they had removed the divers apparently said they were
simply markers that had been placed there for orientation. Many do not buy this.
Documents released from the diving investigation claimed they did not find anything.
Independent investigators would later discover military documents on archive that
showed a great interest in the Shag Harbour incident, which referenced it as a UFO on
numerous occasions.
Wilford Eisnor, a photographer, was another witness to the UFO crash. He and two of his
friends were burning an old boat on a place called Mason’s beach east of Shag Harbour.
It was during this that Eisnor noticed some lights in the sky. At the time he had his camera
on him as he planned to take some pictures of the burning boat.
Eisnor got out his camera and snapped a photo of what he was seeing, being possibly
the only person to have taken any known photo of the UFO incident. The photo again
does not show too much in my opinion, it is mostly dark due to the time of day, visible are
some lights, a small red one at a point, and then two larger lights red and purple behind
that made a triangle shape.
15/16
A military radar station, called Barrington, located 13-miles from Shag Harbour, would
soon become a primary interest of independent investigators of the UFO incident, who
wondered if the station had detected anything strange during the incident in question.
Officials though claim that the station did not record anything unusual.
But it seems the documentary managed to get hold of and interview an anonymous
whistleblower who claimed to formerly work at the station during the incident, who
claimed that they did in fact know of the unusual incident but they were sworn to
secrecy.
The whistleblower claims he was informed by his commanding officer what had happened
that night. Apparently, he said that the object had entered the atmosphere over
northwestern Canada, having ‘wobbled’ through the atmosphere. He was also told the
object had almost hit a plane over Quebec.
He was also told the object had crash landed in Shag Harbour but that there was another
UFO tending to it, and both objects had then moved. The UFOs then apparently came to
rest off the coast of a top-secret military base 30 miles from Shag Harbour. The military
base in question was a joint Canadian-American one that operated during the Cold War
and had the purpose of detecting submarines.
This base apparently locates the now nearby underwater UFOs and dispatches divers to
investigate. These divers seem to have witnessed one of the UFOs rendering the
apparent assistance to the other UFO, and that they may have even seen actual alien
occupants. Officials who had conducted the operation apparently believed it to initially be
a Soviet submarine.
Apparently, the operation was though disrupted by an actual Soviet submarine that turned
up in the area and during this the apparent underwater UFOs moved out of the area, lifted
off out of the ocean and flew away.
This last part is a lot of conjecture. It is unlikely we will ever know exactly what happened.
I do not necessarily buy into it being extra-terrestrial myself as the documentary was
pushing towards.
But I for sure think something happened at Shag Harbour and those strange things were
also seen in other areas of Nova Scotia. It is certainly compelling and leaves you to
wonder.

5 Compelling UFO Cases

  • 1. 1/16 Post author By Charlie March 31, 2022 5 Compelling UFO Cases theweeklyrambler.com/5-compelling-ufo-cases/ Hey all. You may have noticed last week that there were no blogposts. I decided to take that week off for a number of reasons. The first is it was my birthday on Monday so I decided to just relax a bit, but on top of that I at the same time was busy with my health and social care course and also a young film event programming group I am a part of (so it wasn’t really a full week off). This week is still kind of busy but I am going to try and get two blogposts up anyway, although they will probably be shorter blogposts again. From next week things should start calming down and I should be able to focus more on my larger blogposts again, including continuing the government system series.
  • 2. 2/16 Lately I have been in a rather paranormal mood again for whatever reason. I feel a certain hungry nostalgia for it and so I have been listening to some podcasts on the paranormal over the last week. I love to be fascinated by these things, although I have to admit I am a lot more sceptical now a days, but still maintain a fairly open mind nonetheless. This blog has stepped back from the paranormal focus it originally had mostly because I felt like other places were already largely covering the paranormal and I did not really know what difference I could bring to it here that would bring people over from more popular paranormal blogs. But I also did say that I would still do blogposts on paranormal stuff now and again as well when in the mood for it, and right now is one of those times. So, today I thought I would look into five compelling cases of UFOs. We have already done some blogposts on UFOs before, and to me it is always very interesting. I love to consider that there may be something out there, that already knows we exist here and are observing us. One of the big reasons I am an X-Files fan is because of its alien focus. At the same time UFOs to me are also fascinating because there is the much more likely possibility that they are experimental military technology, in some cases. I understand that the vast majority of UFO cases are simply just usual objects and things that are being mis-identified due to distance, poor visibility and optical illusions. Some are also hoaxes as well unfortunately. But still, I like to consider that at least some of them may be experimental technology or even possibly alien observers. Some go as far as to say that some of these craft are experimental reverse-engineered alien technology, this I am much more doubtful of. I really do not think we would have the ability to take down an advanced alien space craft and even if we did, we would probably not have any understanding of it whatsoever. When something is reverse-engineered it is not done on technology that is far removed from our own and is not a big leap and bound scenario. It is basically taking a concept that was already likely being worked on anyway, but allows working on that concept to be much faster. I reckon if we caught alien technology by some miracle, there would be nothing close to it that exists in our own technology that would enable us to do anything useful with it. It would be far beyond our understanding and perception, and would probably not match anything currently being worked on. If anything, the alien technology would take generations to have any useful value, if at all. Westall School UFO Sighting – Australia, 1966
  • 3. 3/16 Image by Thomas Budach from Pixabay I chose this one as it reminded me of a similar compelling case that took place at a school in Zimbabwe that I have featured on one of my blogposts in the past. It is always much more extraordinary when a sighting of a UFO is a mass sighting, and not just seen by one or a few people. It makes it much harder to simply discount it, are that many people really making such a huge mistake? I mean, it is not impossible. It could be people become suggestible to what others are seeing and it just spreads like that. But we still nonetheless do not know what they have seen. And this case seems to also go beyond just being a simple sighting. Let’s dive in… This case took place in 1966 in Melbourne, Australia at the Westall primary and high school. It has been reported that over 300 children and a number of staff witnessed UFOs in the air, flying over the school and then apparently landing in a nearby field, although accounts vary on what exactly happened. So, quite reminiscent of the incident in Zimbabwe, although the children were not traumatized by alien occupants. The claim of how many UFOs were seen seems to vary with anywhere from one, two, or three that were seen. This may be grabbed on to by skeptics to discredit the story, but we also have to remember that memory simply is not the best thing in the world and very often becomes distorted over time. I know I question my old memories from childhood and other similarly years old memories. The general consensus seems to be that there was at the least one UFO. Perhaps the most uniform account comes from a teacher who witnessed the event and was interviewed. Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher at the school during the incident. He described how a child in hysterics ran into his classroom and gave attention to a flying
  • 4. 4/16 saucer outside the school. At first Greenwood ignored him thinking the child was acting deranged, but eventually caved to going out to have a look when the child continued to insist. Upon going out he noticed that a group of children were watching something over to the northeast in the sky and upon looking himself he describes seeing the object. He said that the UFO was hovering close to a powerline and described it as round and silver, the size of a car, and a metal rod sticking up off the craft into the air. More children and staff gathered to watch the strange spectacle, and soon even planes joined, apparently five of them, which began playing cat and mouse with the UFO. Greenwood said that he was amazed at how well the planes were able to fly, and surprised none of them crashed into each other, considering how erratic they were flying while in pursuit of the UFO. The UFO was able to easily keep away from the planes by slowly accelerating forward, then rapidly accelerating, then stopping and repeating again whenever the planes tried to get close. This strange affair went on for around 20 minutes and by this time over 300 children and a number of staff had gathered to watch the show. Eventually the UFO shot away and vanished within mere seconds, the headmaster of the school soon came out and ordered everyone to go back inside. Greenwood does not seem to mention the UFO landing, like some others do, and there seems to be just one UFO in his account. Greenwood claimed that the headteacher had watched the spectacle from inside the school, as he was too scared and disturbed by it, so much so he waited for it to go away before coming out to order them in. Greenwood also said the headteacher attempted to squash anyone discussing or talking about the incident, reportedly even lecturing to students that they would be severely punished for talking about it, and that staff could be fired for doing the same. There were rumors that officials and men dressed in black were silencing witnesses as well. Greenwood claims that some of those he talked to about the incident, who had also experienced seeing the UFO, would later refuse to speak any more about it, as if someone had gotten to them and told them to be silent. There are also a few other bits that don’t exactly match up with this account. Specifically, the part about the UFO (or UFOs) landing in a nearby field/reserve, and that students had ran towards the area in an attempt to investigate before the UFO lifted off and darted off, Greenwood did not mention any of this. Witnesses also claimed that a circle of scorched grass was left where the UFO had actually landed (rather than just shooting off); others claimed there were more than just one of these markings. Other witnesses also do not recall seeing any planes chasing the UFO.
  • 5. 5/16 Another witness was Shaun Matthews, who was not a student or staff member of the school, but a young boy whose family leased land at the Grange reserve for horses (an area where some claimed the UFO/UFOs landed for a short time). He claimed to be there during the sighting, saying he saw the object come across the horizon and drop down behind pine trees (on the reserve), he did not know what it was but said it was not any kind of light aircraft typical of the area (due to a nearby airport). He said the object eventually flew off. He also claimed that there was a circle indentation cooked or boiled into the area where the UFO had apparently landed, and that kids from the school soon descended on the area to investigate whatever had landed there. So again, this account does not exactly match up with Greenwood’s. Matthews said the object was about the size of two family cars, silvery but with a sort of purple hue to it, and fairly bright. Matthews though says he did not see any planes tailing the UFO. He did say that some police and other officials interviewed his mum but that is as much as he remembers. He also does not remember any burning of the landing site, which some people claimed authorities did after the incident. Others have said that the UFO never landed and merely hovered over the reserve. So, it does seem there are a number of conflicting accounts of what actually happened. Unfortunately, that does seem to be the case a lot of the time. But I think it is certain that something strange was still nonetheless seen on that day. Some say it may have simply been an experimental aircraft, rather than anything out of this world. My final conclusion is that they did see something, but that it was likely only one UFO. I think if anything it could have just been, as some say, an experimental craft. We all know how over years and years such events can become exaggerated either due to dramatic effect or false memories (or even a mix of the two), and I think that is probably what has happened with the claim of additional UFOs. As for the planes chasing the UFO and the UFO landing… this I am more unsure of whether to discount or not, considering one of the main witnesses claimed it happened, while another could not recall any planes, and one mentions a landing while another does not. You would think it would be something everyone could recall… but here we are. (1) (2) The Levelland UFO Case – USA, Texas, 1957
  • 6. 6/16 Image by Michal Jarmoluk from Pixabay I found this one case to be amusing as all I could imagine was a giant luminescent egg causing a general disturbance in the area. This one egg was certainly out to become one of the most compelling eggs of all time. But enough of that, let’s actually get to what apparently happened… So… it all begun in November 1957 in Levelland when the sheriff’s department received a call from a terrified man reporting that he and his friend had seen what they described as a 200-foot-long rocket rise up from a field and barrel towards their truck on a country highway 4-miles west of Levelland in West Texas. The two men were so scared that they were about to be in a head-on collision that they threw themselves out of the truck and into a ditch. The UFO though narrowly missed hitting the truck, flying right over the top of it, a loud banging sound like a blast following and rocking the truck. The engine of the truck then died and its lights went out, but only for a moment before the truck’s engine resumed and the lights turned back on, the UFO slinking out of sight. Naturally the sheriff’s department were very skeptical of the report, but soon after this a wave of reports would come in from others in the area about sightings of the same or possibly other UFOs, including a number of egg-shaped ones (those pesky eggs!). Many of the other reports also reported the UFO causing their vehicle engines to temporarily stop and their lights to go off. Eventually any doubt that the Sheriff (Weir Clem) had would be extinguished when he himself claimed to have seen a or the UFO along with his Deputy at 1:30am. Levelland’s fire marshal, Ray Jones, also soon had an encounter with a UFO that left his vehicle temporarily facing difficulties with the motor.
  • 7. 7/16 An explanation offered by the air force and Project Blue Book is that it could have been caused by electrical storms and the illusive ball lightning, although skeptics doubt this due to the sheer size of the reported UFO. Plus, electrical storms don’t often cause this much chaos. Others have also disputed by saying no electrical storm actually occurred on the night in question. History.com says that the real-life inspiration for a UFO making electronics in a car go haywire in the Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie actually comes from the Levelland UFO incident. A newspaper column from the Leominster Daily Enterprise a few days after the incident also talked of the egg-shaped UFO being spotted in neighboring New Mexico as well, and that it also stalled a number of vehicles there. I think it’s obvious in this case that we cannot deny that something strange did indeed go down in Levelland and New Mexico, but whatever it was is hard to determine. Could it have just been some kind of weather event or atmospheric phenomena… or was it some kind of experimental craft or something out of this world? (1) (2) (3) (4) The Canary Island UFO Sighting – 1976 Photo by Malpei from Wikimedia Commons. CC BY 2.5 ES. Source. Another interesting UFO sighting comes from the Canary Island’s as authorities were unable to find an explanation for it and remains officially unexplained until this day. Many people reported seeing the UFO. The whole event lasted over 40 minutes, and the UFO was seen in multiple locations across the island. It was seen by both civilians and military personnel. The UFO was first spotted by a Spanish Navy corvette the Atrevida near Punta Lantailla, Fuerteventura Island, quite the mouthful. They described seeing a bright yellow light moving above the horizon which they originally believed was an aircraft that had its landing lights on. But things got stranger when they were unable to pick up a radar signature from the object. The UFO eventually stopped glowing yellow and soon what is described as a luminous rotating beam replaced it and lasted for around two minutes.
  • 8. 8/16 It got stranger yet as a glowing halo begun to appear around the UFO and it then begun to split into two, a smaller piece that split away from the bottom and moved out of view, and a larger piece from the top which climbed away in what was described as a rapid and irregular spiral pattern. The halo seemed to persist for some time following the separation of the objects, and that it lit up the water and nearby land, before eventually disappearing. The whole crew of the ship saw this incident. This alone is compelling enough considering navy personnel and officials witnessed this unexplained event. But it would not end there. Next to get a taste of this strange UFO were the residents of the island from around 9:30pm local time. Sightings were reported in Grand Canary, Tenerife, La Palma, and La Gomera. One of the strangest sightings would be recounted to the Spanish air force by a doctor called Francisco Padron Leon, as well as by a taxi driver and woman. According to his account he was riding a taxi from his home to see a patient in Las Rosas on the island of Grand Canary. He said he saw a sphere glowing blue that seemed to be hovering close to the ground ahead of the taxi. He went on and approximated the hovering sphere to have a radius of 30 meters and that it was sufficiently transparent to be able to make out the UFO’s occupants. He said that he could make out two occupants within the transparent UFO working on consoles, describing them as 2 and a half to 3 meters tall, and that they were wearing red clothes (although another source claims the taxi driver said they were dressed in red, not the doctor). He then claimed the sphere expanded significantly, rose up, and then shot away in the direction of the island of Tenerife. Additional information from the doctor is that he did not feel afraid but felt instead a sense of peace and that he wanted to go to them. He also said that the morphology of the tall figures was strange and it looked like they were sitting even while standing. He said they had elongated necks; their hands were arrow-tip shaped and due to this seemed to be gloved. It is claimed that the taxi driver and several residents in the area also witnessed this sphere. The taxi driver was interviewed as well according to one of the sources I looked at. He also claimed to see the figures inside the UFO, saying they were dressed in red similar to a diver. Drawings depict this red outfit as some kind of suit that covered the head with a hole for the face. The taxi driver also described the occupants as thin and Swedish-looking. The taxi driver also said he was not really afraid, but instead more curious. He also describes the UFO as having transparent glass. According to a taxi driver they were outside some house and told staff to also come out and see the object, it around this time moved and left colourful smoke.
  • 9. 9/16 There was also another witness, a woman who lived in a nearby town, she recounted that she was home and her TV was off. She said that when she looked outside of her window, she saw a large transparent blue ball and noted two figures inside of it, saying they looked like men. She panicked at the sight of this, closed her window, and then prayed. An investigation into the UFO incident was unable to match it with any known man-made object or natural phenomena. Although the investigating officer doubted some of the civilian reports, due to how unusual they were, he nonetheless did not rule the incident as a whole as a hoax due to the trained military personnel witnesses. One possible explanation is that the phenomena was the result of an at-the-time classified US submarine-launched Poseidon ICBM tests. Of course this does not explain the sightings of the strange beings. (1) (2) The St. Clair Triangle UFO – USA, Illinois, 2000 Image by Stefan Keller from Pixabay This sighting is a bit more modern than the others, although is still over two decades old now, crazy right? This sighting, like others on this list, is more exciting as it was also witnessed by police officers. Interestingly the man to first sight the aircraft described it as a big flying house, which must have been freaky to witness. It was later sightings, such as from police officers, that describe it as some kind of triangular shaped craft. It all begun on January 4 2000, so not long after the new millennium had begun, and the worries of Y2K were behind. The first sighting took place in Highland, Illinois. It was reported by Melvern Noll, a 66-year-old who owned a miniature golf course. It was this miniature golf course he had gone to as to make sure the pipes on the premises had not frozen during the cold winter night. th
  • 10. 10/16 He had only just exited his vehicle when he witnessed a bright object in the sky that he would report as looking like a flying house with windows on the top and bottom, with red and white lights. He would report this to a police dispatcher who would then forward it on to Ed Barton, a police officer in Lebanon, Illinois. Barton was naturally not fully believing in the report, he initially enquired on whether the dispatchers were pulling some kind of joke on him, and when realizing they were not joking, he wondered whether the person who had reported it was drunk. He nonetheless went to the area to investigate and also soon witnessed a bright light in the sky. He drove towards the object before pulling over and exiting his cruiser. Barton reported it as a huge object in the sky that was triangular shaped, longer than it was wide, and had three white lights and one red light. The object eventually sped away to the southwest toward Shiloh, Illinois. Seeming to confirm it had sped off in that direction, police officer David Martin in Shiloh, who was looking out for the object, also reported seeing something similar and that after slowly hovering along it sped away in the same direction at incredibly fast speed, he said it had three big bright lights on the bottom and did not make any sound. It would then be reported by a third police officer, Craig Stevens, in Millstadt, who apparently took a polaroid camera shot of it. Stevens described the object as huge and moving slowly for its size, that it was arrow- shaped and concave at the rear. He described three bright lights on the rear, one centered and the other two at the left and right-most sides. He also described a strobing light along the concave area, and a red blinking light was on the bottom. They show the polaroid photo on one of the documentaries I linked below, you cannot really tell much from it due to the poor quality and darkness due to it being the early morning, but three white anomalies are present. All in all, this photo doesn’t really tell us much more about the incident. Next to see it was a police officer in Dupo called Matt Jany, he ended up reporting seeing a similar object. Initially he had pulled up to the side of the road and got out of his cruiser to scan the skies for the object that had been reported by other officers, before seeing it he joked with another officer in the area about what he was doing. Jany got back in his cruiser and drove about a quarter of an hour before he eventually spotted something in the sky. He said it was not like any plane he had seen before and its lights were quite bright. A nearby airport reported at the time that there should not have been any aircraft in the area. Jany reported that the object eventually turned back to the East. There were also a number of civilian accounts of the UFO as well in the area with sightings going on for over an hour before they ceased.
  • 11. 11/16 Even my little explanation here of what happens does not really do it justice and listening to the original dispatches between officers who are investigating and then seeing this thing is quite extraordinary to hear, certainly worth a listen to in order to get the full perspective. Overall, the main points are that the object seemed to be very large, triangular in shape, silent (although one of the officers reported it made a low frequency buzzing), moved unusually when taking into account usual physics and the size of the object, and was able to suddenly move at an incredible rate of speed to reach nearby towns in seconds. It is estimated that the object would need to reach well over 3,000mph to achieve this distance in such short time. Scott Air Force Base was nearby to the sightings and the UFO supposedly came within 1 mile of the base. The air force base claimed it did not see or detect any UFO, although it did also say that the base no longer used radar and that its control tower personnel were not on duty at the time. People though debate if the air base was telling the truth as a military cargo plane had been up in the air around the time of the UFO sightings, making it unlikely they would not have some kind of detection system or any personnel in the control tower. Explanations include it possibly being a B2 bomber (although the shape would not be exactly correct as well as the lack of noise) or that it may have been an advertisement blimp (which was suggested by the Federal Aviation Administration). Another popular unofficial explanation is that it could have been some kind of experimental aircraft testing out some kind of prototype electric propulsion system. Electric propulsion is something that the federal government and air force has been looking and researching into for decades although it is believed to be a very, very long way away from reality if it ever becomes reality at all. A massive amount of power would also be needed to be able to sustain such a large aircraft as the one reported has been approximated as much as the entire US power grid currently uses. (1) (2) Shag Harbour UFO Crash – Canada, Nova Scotia, 1967
  • 12. 12/16 Photo by J5255 from Wikimedia Commons. CC BY-SA 4.0. Source. Despite this one basically being Canada’s version of Roswell and it being described as Canada’s most famous UFO incident; I’d be damned if I could find many articles on it. All I could really find was a 47-minute documentary about it on Youtube on a channel called Ocean Digital Entertainment. So, I cannot really say how credible much of the information from the documentary is, but then again, I can’t really say how credible anything on this list is because it’s all pretty much unexplained. So, that’s the beauty of it, I guess. Still though, I thought this was compelling enough to put on this list when you take into account that Canada’s military got involved in investigating the incident, and that there seems to be numerous sightings of the UFO itself in the area it took place. The very short story of what happened is some UFO appeared in the Nova Scotia area and eventually came crashing down into Shag Harbour. Let’s dive deeper… Chris Styles was one of the witnesses during the incident, he was only 12 at the time and it had a profound effect on him that would shape his future into investigating the incident, collecting witness testimony and also writing books. When he made the sighting of the strange object, he described feeling terrified and like he should not be there (he had run out to view it). He described a huge orange sphere that was tracing the shoreline from his vantage point at Dartmouth in Nova Scotia, around 158 miles from Shag Harbour. After the sighting Styles got a call from his grandfather who lived in Shag Harbour, his grandfather described seeing lights in the sky and said that one of them had crashed into the waters near Shag Harbour.
  • 13. 13/16 Laurie Wickens, a Shag Harbour resident who is now a fisher, was one of the first witnesses (aside from his grandfather) that Styles talked to following the incident. Wickens and some of his friends were driving home from a dance when they looked into the sky and saw some flashing lights. He described how one light after the other would turn on and then all turn off and repeat. Although the lights were different to any plane they had seen before they still assumed it must be a plane. Wickens noticed that the craft was flying strangely and believed it to be in trouble, they then lost sight of it behind a hill as it crashed into the water. They assumed it to be a plane crash and so contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who are the national and federal police agency of Canada, to report it. He was the first to report the crash in Shag Harbour. The RCMP very quickly arrived at the scene where already a number of locals had gathered to try and see what had happened. The locals there described seeing a pale- yellow light that looked to be as much as 8ft above the water’s surface, and although it was moving in the direction the tide was going, it seemed to be propelling itself faster than the tide was moving. Locals described the object leaving a wide trail of yellow foam behind it as it moved along the water’s surface. Wickens described how the object just disappeared, not by sinking or any other natural or known means, but that it just vanished. Many of the people there though, including the RCMP, still assumed it was a plane crash. The authorities soon contacted local fisherman to help with search and rescue efforts, one of whom was Lawrence Smith. Smith and his crew were one of the first fishing boats to set off to the scene, others soon joining him. But when they got there, they did not find what they expected, there was no visible wreckage, simply just the foam. This yellow foam stretched for half a mile in length, Lawrence described that there was a smell like sulphur. Although foam can occur along the coast and on the sea sometimes, the fishermen did not recognize this foam as being normal at all. The sheer amount of it was very strange, and it dissipated differently to normal foam, and its density was off, as well as of course the smell. Lawrence, who has been a fisherman for 45-years, said that he had never seen foam like that in all the time he had fished there. The RCMP soon contacted the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax who put out an urgent call to both military and civilian sources. They asked for any possible information on missing aircraft anywhere across the eastern seaboard. A Coastguard Cutter from Clark’s Harbour was also dispatched to Shag Harbour to help with search and rescue efforts.
  • 14. 14/16 By the time Cutter 101 arrived the strange foam had disappeared. The search continued to try and find any signs of what could have hit the water, and also see if there were any possible survivors. It was soon reported that no commercial, private or military aircraft in the area were missing, seemingly ruling out the possibility of a plane crash. Could this have been a lie? If it were for example some kind of experimental craft that had crashed, but that had somehow managed to recover itself (via the strange way it vanished), then the military could easily just lie about any plane/craft having known to have been out there. Officers of the RCMP had witnessed the event unfold alongside locals and initially they had been quite cooperative with the media and others seeking more information, but eventually they started to become more distant about the event according to those trying to dig deeper into the mystery. Wickens had asked one of the RCMP officers for more information who informed him that they had identified the object as a UFO, but did not say much more than that. In my own opinion it could simply be that they did not really have much more to say about it. Navy divers did go to the area two days following the incident to investigate underwater in Shag Harbour. The water in Shag Harbour is shallow but has a strong current, so there was the possibility that any wreckage could have been swept out into the sea, but if it had not been then it should be easy to find. The dive investigation lasted two and a half days, after this they apparently left with some package that they put into a military vehicle they had with them. When asked by locals what they had removed the divers apparently said they were simply markers that had been placed there for orientation. Many do not buy this. Documents released from the diving investigation claimed they did not find anything. Independent investigators would later discover military documents on archive that showed a great interest in the Shag Harbour incident, which referenced it as a UFO on numerous occasions. Wilford Eisnor, a photographer, was another witness to the UFO crash. He and two of his friends were burning an old boat on a place called Mason’s beach east of Shag Harbour. It was during this that Eisnor noticed some lights in the sky. At the time he had his camera on him as he planned to take some pictures of the burning boat. Eisnor got out his camera and snapped a photo of what he was seeing, being possibly the only person to have taken any known photo of the UFO incident. The photo again does not show too much in my opinion, it is mostly dark due to the time of day, visible are some lights, a small red one at a point, and then two larger lights red and purple behind that made a triangle shape.
  • 15. 15/16 A military radar station, called Barrington, located 13-miles from Shag Harbour, would soon become a primary interest of independent investigators of the UFO incident, who wondered if the station had detected anything strange during the incident in question. Officials though claim that the station did not record anything unusual. But it seems the documentary managed to get hold of and interview an anonymous whistleblower who claimed to formerly work at the station during the incident, who claimed that they did in fact know of the unusual incident but they were sworn to secrecy. The whistleblower claims he was informed by his commanding officer what had happened that night. Apparently, he said that the object had entered the atmosphere over northwestern Canada, having ‘wobbled’ through the atmosphere. He was also told the object had almost hit a plane over Quebec. He was also told the object had crash landed in Shag Harbour but that there was another UFO tending to it, and both objects had then moved. The UFOs then apparently came to rest off the coast of a top-secret military base 30 miles from Shag Harbour. The military base in question was a joint Canadian-American one that operated during the Cold War and had the purpose of detecting submarines. This base apparently locates the now nearby underwater UFOs and dispatches divers to investigate. These divers seem to have witnessed one of the UFOs rendering the apparent assistance to the other UFO, and that they may have even seen actual alien occupants. Officials who had conducted the operation apparently believed it to initially be a Soviet submarine. Apparently, the operation was though disrupted by an actual Soviet submarine that turned up in the area and during this the apparent underwater UFOs moved out of the area, lifted off out of the ocean and flew away. This last part is a lot of conjecture. It is unlikely we will ever know exactly what happened. I do not necessarily buy into it being extra-terrestrial myself as the documentary was pushing towards. But I for sure think something happened at Shag Harbour and those strange things were also seen in other areas of Nova Scotia. It is certainly compelling and leaves you to wonder.
