Canada香蕉视频直播檚 best-documented UFO crash is the subject of a new glow-in-the-dark coin released by the Royal Canadian Mint.
According to the mint香蕉视频直播檚 website, the rectangular silver coin is a re-telling of a UFO crash that prompted a government investigation in 1967 in the small fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia.
On Oct. 4 of that year, witnesses spotted a craft about 60 feet in diameter crash into the sea. The flash of light led them to believe a plane had crashed.
Three RCMP officers, including one who had also seen the lights, arrived at the impact site and saw a strange object glowing in the water less then a kilometre from shore.
But officials soon discovered that no aircraft were reported missing, and, by the time Coast Guard and military vessels arrived, the lights had vanished and only sparking yellow foam remained on the surface.
The search for a downed craft continued, but no debris was found, and the investigation was called off on Oct. 9.
Government documents showed that authorities could not offer a conventional explanation, and the Shag Harbour incident today remains a mystery.
The Royal Canadian Mint coin depicts a view of the UFO encounter from a witness香蕉视频直播 perspective from a fishing boat.
It comes with a black-light flashlight to activate its glow-in-the-dark features.
The coin, which has a face value of $20, sells for $129.95, and 95 per cent of the 4,000 coins available were sold as of Tuesday.
