The Clarenville UFO Experience | VIDEO
.jpg)
In October 1978, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer Jim Blackwood responded to a call regarding a strange object off of the coast of Clarenville, a Canadian town on the east coast of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. When he got there he, along with about a dozen other witnesses, saw something he could not explain. Blackwood recently posted a TV interview from 1978 in which he describes the incident.
According to Canadian newspaper The Packet, Blackwood is now retired and living in Novia Scotia. News of the sighting received a lot of media attention, causing Blackwood to endure years of ridicule. Since leaving Clarenville, he says he rarely speaks about the incident.
However, he did recently speak to The Packet, and in May of this year he posted the UFO interview on YouTube (seen above).
Blakwood was a 25 year-old RCMP constable at the time of the incident. When he reached the location of the witnesses, he says there were about a dozen locals gathered there.
“I went down and the craft was hovering between Clarenville and Random Island, right on the water. It was only a couple hundred feet off the water. It was there for good two hours before it left" [...]

Mysterious, Hovering Object Over Iceberg is a Mirage? | VIDEO
A meteorologist with Environment Canada says a mysterious object which appeared to be hovering over an iceberg in Bonavista Bay isn't much of a mystery afterall.
YouTube user 235FireFly uploaded a video of icebergs spotted off Salvage this week.
"I noticed what appeared to be a chunk of ice just barely attached to an iceberg. Hoping to catch it collapse, I took out the camera and zoomed in," the user commented below the YouTube post.
"What you can see is a white object not attached to the iceberg, but rather spinning around and changing shape. There was no fog and it was a perfectly clear day so I'm up for debate. So any ideas what this could be? I'm open to all opinions, UFO, illusion or what? This is easily the strangest thing I have ever witnessed in my life."
Is it part of the iceberg? Is it fog playing tricks with your eyes?
None of the above, said Environment Canada's Rodney Barney.
"Mirage effect due to marine layer temperature inversion," Barney said via Twitter, shortly after the video was posted by CBC News. . . .
