Circle over Smiths Cove (Canada), NS · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On my way home from work on the eve of Dec 20th, a round ball of light outlined in red, soared across the sky in front of me. It happened fast and when I tried to follow it with my eyes it went out of site. It seemed quite low. I wonder if it could have been an asteroid or meteor. It didn’t look like a craft. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137923). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Canadian military and radar records answer to the Access to Information Act; historic UFO files are held by Library and Archives Canada. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
