Summary

When Clarenville RCMP Constable Jim Blackwood responded to a report of an unusual object in the sky, he expected it to be the next in a series of recent reports that all resulted in nothing more than a confused citizen describing a vague light. When he arrived to the scene he found a group of mystified witnesses viewing the still clearly visible object with binoculars. He knew then that this report was unique. The incredible events which unfolded during the roughly two hour long sighting would fuel both an international media whirlwind and a localized UFO craze. In this episode, the amazing details of the 1978 Clarenville, Newfoundland UFO sighting will be told by the now retired Cst. Jim Blackwood.

0:00.0	Hello listeners Jordan here. I just want to let you know that you can listen to nighttime early and add free on Amazon music
0:07.0	Include it with Prime
0:12.0	Before we get to this episode, I have an exciting message to share.
0:16.0	What you're about to hear is a story I originally covered back in 2017.
0:21.0	It tells the story of an incredible UFO event from Clarinville, Newfoundland that was
0:27.1	famously witnessed and reported to authorities by an on-duty RC.C. and officer.
0:33.2	Why am I releasing the episode now, you ask?
0:36.6	Well, for one, the 42nd anniversary of this event is just around the corner, on October 26th to be be exact but it's much more than that
0:45.2	I'm telling this story again because this event is about to receive the mainstream
0:50.6	attention I've always felt it deserved. It was just announced by the Royal Canadian Mint that they'll be commemorating this UFO event with a limited edition collectible coin. Weird, eh? Well, it is, but it's great and it's not just any old
1:07.7	coin. It's a silver rectangle-shaped coin which features a painting of the object the
1:13.6	R. C. And when the coin is viewed under black light it glows an eerie green
1:20.7	color. It's amazing. Now this coin, like the prior
1:24.8	UFO-themed coins in the past, is going to be met with huge demand and only 5,000 of
1:30.9	them are minted. So if you want one, follow the link in the show
1:34.6	description immediately, as they're most likely close to selling out, if not
1:39.0	already sold out by the time you hear this. But if you do miss out on the chance to buy one, don't worry.
1:45.2	I'm going to be running a contest that will allow nighttime listeners to win one of
1:50.3	the two Clarinville UFO coins that I have.
1:53.8	To enter the contest, simply find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
1:58.5	All have published a post that asks the question, what do you think Constable Blackwood saw in the skies above Clarinville?
2:06.0	I'll choose winners at random from the entries.
