Canadians see unusual flying object

HARBOUR MILLE, Newfoundland, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Some people in the Canadian community of Harbour Mille say they are puzzling over the unidentified flying object they saw over Newfoundland's south coast.

Darlene Stewart told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. she saw the mysterious object zoom missile-like overhead, trailing flames or heavy smoke.

"I knew it wasn't an airplane. It was something different," Stewart said.

She took a picture of the object but it wasn't clear from the picture what the thing was.

Another witness, Elly Pardy, told the CBC it appeared to be over the middle of the bay.

"It appeared to come out of the ocean," she said. "It's kind of scary because you don't know if something is being set off out in the bay, (or) if someone is doing experiments."

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police sent an officer Tuesday to investigate the reports.
