UFO Files: Britain's Roswell

Roswell conjures up the most famous UFO case in US history, luring believers on an unending search for a “smoking gun” locked away in some secret government vault. Could Canada have the real thing–a UFO case with a certifiable paper trail? In Nova Scotia, on the night of October 4, 1967, in the remote town of Shag Harbour, dozens of eyewitnesses–airline pilots, fishermen, teenagers, and police officers–see what appears to be an extraterrestrial craft hovering above the water’s surface. Some claim to have seen and heard the UFO plunge into the waters off the shoreline. Canadian authorities dispatched the Navy, Coast Guard, and police, and after a full government inquiry, claimed not a trace of anything suspicious. But does the government know more than it’s telling? Lingering questions lead two UFO researchers to launch an investigation–and they uncovered documents that make it clear that the case should never have been closed.
