Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena. SHAG BARBOUR UFO INCIDENT. Canadas best-documented UFO crash. On the night of October 4, 1967, residents of Shag Harbour, N. Reported seeing four bright lights flashing in the sky. The strange object was flying low over the fishing village when it suddenly tilted to a 45-degree angle and dropped towards the water. At first, no one referred to it as a UFO. Laurie Wickens, then 18, noticed the lights while driving with friends and estimated the craft to measure some 60 feet in diameter. But when it came crashing down into the sea, a flash of light and a roar led some witnesses to believe a plane crash had just occurred. Three RCMP officers, including one who had also seen the lights, arrived at the impact site to find the strange object glowing in the water less than a kilometre from the shore. Officials contacted the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax to find out if an aircraft had gone missing all were accounted for. Coast Guard and military vessels also arrived on the scene but they were already too late: the lights had already vanished and only the sparkling yellow foam remained on the surface. The search for a downed craft continued into the early morning hours but there was never any evidence of debris.
