The Shag Harbour UFO Incident

from Alien UFO Podcast · host Simon Bown

This week I'm talking about the Shag Harbour UFO Incident On the night of October 4, 1967, the quiet fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, became the centre of one of Canada’s most compelling UFO cases. Multiple witnesses saw a set of bright lights moving low across the sky before appearing to descend and strike the water offshore. Believing they had witnessed an aircraft crash, local resident Laurie Wickens contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. What followed makes the Shag Harbour incident stand apart from many UFO reports. RCMP officers responded, local fishermen took boats out to search for survivors, and the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax checked for missing aircraft. No commercial, private or military plane could be connected to the event. There was no wreckage, no bodies, no debris field and no ordinary crash site. The case soon drew in Canadian military authorities. The Royal Canadian Air Force became involved through official reporting channels, and Navy divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic searched the seabed near the reported impact area. Despite the seriousness of the response, no conventional explanation was found. In this episode, I revisit the events of that October night: the witnesses who saw the lights, the police response, the search on the water, and the military investigation that followed. I also look at why Shag Harbour has endured as one of the strongest UFO cases in Canadian history. Unlike many sightings, this one began as an emergency call, involved official agencies from the start, and left behind a record of unanswered questions. More than half a century later, the mystery remains. What entered the waters off Shag Harbour that night? Why was no aircraft ever found? And why does this quiet Nova Scotian harbour still hold such an important place in the history of unidentified aerial phenomena? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
