While these theories and hearsay are interesting, I believe the Shag Harbour incident, in its official description, stands well enough on its own. Society has always been pretty much divided up between those who are capable of sudden, senseless violence, and those who are not.
Could it have been on its way to an underwater base? Or perhaps it was en route to an underground civilization, hidden deep beneath the Earth’s surface… Others, however, believe its voyage into the sea was deliberate. These claims appear to be unsubstantiated. Many claim it was an alien spacecraft that crashed into the Gulf of Maine, with some suggesting that a second craft was spotted attempting to assist the first. Ufologists and conspiracy theorists have their own opinions. What could have happened that night, over 45 years ago? While perhaps not as popular as such purported UFO events as that at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, it stands as one of the more perplexing and unexplainable sightings in recent history.Īccording to the Library and Archives Canada website, “there is no trace of the RCMP reports of this sighting in the files,” and their only remaining document is a Department of National Defence memo.

No aircraft were reported to have gone missing at the time. Perhaps even stranger, on their way to the object’s “crash site,” witnesses reported seeing a thick yellow or orange foam in the water.Ī subsequent underwater search of the area, headed by the Royal Canadian Navy, also failed to uncover any signs of the object.Īll told, none of the Canadian agencies involved in the search succeeded in locating any evidence of a crash or the sighted object. A search and rescue cutter from the Canadian Coast Guard, as well, was unable to locate any survivors or debris. Several fishermen and police officers, responding to the calls, rushed out on boats to investigate.īy the time they arrived, it appeared to have sunk, and they found no signs of survivors or bodies. At least one witness, Laurie Wickens, reported seeing the object floating offshore. The object, they said, appeared to have dived into the Gulf of Maine - accompanied by a loud whistling noise - at a 45 degree angle.Ī strange white light then appeared to hover near the water’s surface. Witnesses reported four flashing orange lights in the sky, attached to an object some 60 feet in length. When director Larry Peerce (Goodbye, Columbus) and cinematographer Gerald Hirschfeld (Young Frankenstein) were denied permission to shoot in the NYC subways, they did it anyway, using concealed cameras for some footage, providing a gritty time capsule of the 60s Big Apple as it begins to rot.On the evening of October 4, 1967, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police received several phone calls regarding a possible airplane crash in the small fishing community of Shag Harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada. Will any of them have the courage to confront the two maniacs?A high-velocity “home invasion”-styled hostage drama on rails, The Incident is a NYC transit suspense film that precedes the better-known The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by seven years.
