Canadian UFO Sighting Follow-Up

Here is a follow-up story about the Newfoundland UFO sighting of several days ago. Looking a lot like a missile event. Not terribly surprising.

HARBOUR MILLE, N.L. - The RCMP and federal officials weren't saying much Wednesday about the reported sighting earlier this week of mysterious missile-like objects in the sky off southern Newfoundland.

Darlene Stewart of Harbour Mille said she was outside taking pictures of the sunset Monday when she saw something fly overhead.

Her picture shows a blurry image of what appears to be a missile-shaped object trailing flames or smoke.

She said she and neighbours saw another three similar objects flying offshore minutes apart.

David Charbonneau, a spokesman for Public Safety Canada, said in an email that the federal government was "aware of media reports of public sightings of unidentified objects" off Newfoundland but said the RCMP was investigating.

The RCMP, however, disputed that and referred all comment back to Public Safety Canada.
Helen Cleary-Escott, an RCMP spokeswoman, said there is no debris or any other evidence that would allow the Mounties to investigate the matter.

VOCM radio in St. John's, N.L., citing a French news agency report, said that France had successfully test-fired its new M51 strategic missile from a nuclear submarine in the Atlantic Ocean

AFP reported that France's newest strategic nuclear submarine "Le Terrible" launched the test at 9:25 am (local time) from the Audierne Bay in the Atlantic. The M51 has a range of 8,000 kilometres.

Capt. Kendrah Allison, a spokesperson for the Department of National Defence, said the military was aware of the reported sightings but wasn't aware of any missile testing in the area.
