Canada’s Underwater UFO Mystery Reopens
Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia – 15 October 2025
By Lux Ferre
Welcome, dear readers of Occult World, to the wild Atlantic coast of Canada — where the sea keeps its secrets, and sometimes, they rise again.
Nearly six decades after one of the world’s most famous UFO crashes, new testimony from former Royal Canadian Navy divers has reignited the mystery of Shag Harbour — a case once described by the Canadian Department of National Defence as “an unidentified flying object of unknown origin.”
The Night the Sea Caught Fire
On 4 October 1967, residents of the small fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, witnessed a bright orange object streaking across the sky before plunging into the ocean with a flash and a hiss.
Dozens of eyewitnesses — including RCMP officers, fishermen, and airline pilots — reported the crash. Search and rescue teams expected to find wreckage.
Instead, they found only a glowing slick of yellow foam drifting on the surface — and silence beneath.
The case was immediately logged as an “Unidentified Flying Object Incident” by both Canadian and U.S. authorities. The object was never recovered, and no aircraft were reported missing that night.
The Divers’ Revelation
Now, nearly sixty years later, retired naval divers have stepped forward with claims that during a NATO minesweeping exercise in 1968, they encountered two large, metallic, disc-shaped craft resting on the seabed near Shag Harbour.
One diver, speaking anonymously to Popular Mechanics this month, described seeing a damaged craft the size of a small submarine, and another hovering nearby, emitting a blue-white light.
According to his account, the “intact craft” appeared to be assisting the damaged one, before both allegedly moved along the seabed and vanished into deeper waters toward Shelburne — near a classified military zone.
“It wasn’t of any technology we recognised,” he said. “No markings, no sound, and it moved like nothing built on this Earth.”
While the Canadian Department of National Defence has not confirmed these claims, declassified files show that naval dives did occur in the area in early 1968 — officially for “training and retrieval exercises.”
Shag Harbour: Canada’s Roswell?
Unlike Roswell, the Shag Harbour case was never officially debunked.
Even the Canadian Coast Guard and RCMP referred to the object as a genuine “UFO” — a rarity in government documentation.
Local lore has since dubbed the site “Canada’s Roswell,” though witnesses describe it with a uniquely maritime calm — a mystery wrapped not in sand and secrecy, but in fog and tide.
Today, a small UFO Interpretive Centre stands near the crash site, displaying witness reports, military memos, and sonar images that continue to draw researchers from around the world.
Occult World Commentary
If the divers’ accounts are true, then the Atlantic depths of Nova Scotia hold one of the greatest unsolved enigmas in UFO history — a story half in air, half in water, and wholly unexplained.
For those who seek the hidden patterns between myth and memory, the Shag Harbour case stands as a reminder that not all lights in the sky fade when they fall — some simply change element.
So, dear readers of Occult World, when next you stand at the edge of the sea and see a strange shimmer beneath the waves, remember this:
Some mysteries sink only to breathe again.
