Summary
On the night of October 4th, 1967, at about 11:20pm, it was reported that something had crashed into the waters of Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia. Multiple witnesses reported hearing a whistling sound and then a boom as the flying object approached the waters about 1/2 mile offshore, floating, its lights changing color, then disappearing beneath the water and traveling eastward, leaving only a yellow wake of frothy water behind. Was it an alien craft, or a top secret government project? Two men, one of whom was a boy of 12 who witnessed the UFO, never gave up on finding the truth, despite government cover-ups. Their book, "Dark Object" , by Chris Stiles and Don Ledger, is still sought out on Amazon. This story honors their efforts and that of all those who pursue the truth.

| 1:07.0 | The one thing that always seems to pop up as I research these stories for my podcast, |
| 1:12.0 | especially the stories that carry a lot of |
| 1:13.8 | credibility is how the governments of various countries will always do their best |
| 1:18.1 | to suppress coverage of the event. Go so far as to remove reporters from the story, remove editors, confiscate video, |
| 1:26.8 | insert reporters to debunk the story, and make all kinds of efforts to suppress panic on the part of the public. |
| 1:34.0 | As if the top government officials, those lucky enough and powerful enough to be trusted with a secret, |
| 1:39.7 | seem to know best how to keep the dumb masses that would be us from screaming in fear and |
