Unidentified Flying Objects
On Wednesday, June 19th, 1968, at approximately 10:30 p.m. an unidentified flying object was seen in the sky above Frobisher Bay in a northerly direction. The object appeared to be a star moving very slowly across the sky in a west to east direction. The local camera enthusiasts were out in full force. The object disappeared sometime after midnight.
The Department of Transport meteorological officer in Frobisher Bay is of the opinion that the object was an experimental or weather balloon at a height of well over 100,000 feet.
There have been no reports of landing by little green men or other weird non-world creatures. Furthermore, there have been no reports that all our women are pregnant.
