The Shag Harbour Crash (1967): The UFO That Hit the Ocean and Vanished Underwater

from The Strange History Podcast · host Strange History

In October 1967, residents of a small fishing village in Nova Scotia watched a glowing object fall from the sky and strike the Atlantic Ocean. What authorities initially believed was a downed aircraft quickly became something far stranger. No wreckage was recovered, no planes were missing, and sonar detected an object moving along the ocean floor before disappearing completely. In this mega episode of The Strange History Podcast, host Amy investigates The Shag Harbour Crash, one of the only UFO cases in history officially classified by a government as unidentified. Drawing from witness testimony, declassified Canadian government documents, and modern theories about unidentified submerged objects, this episode explores what really happened the night the ocean swallowed something that never came back.
