ipproximately at 2000 feet.

the recon at 26/0405Z, and the vosition of both sightings was the same, south

west of Glenwood in the vicinity of an cperating howatere #ood Camp. it. is

not known as yet whether any activity at this camo at Shore imes could have

caused a glow in ths sky and made Peel that he had seen some stranze

object. The clearing presumably found by ould have been a wood yard

The ez e of the clearing with freshly broken amd uprooted trees

guide the groun party back to it could be dus to his lack cf lmowledge of
area. His home is in Deer Lake, and he has been away from Newfoundland for
sral years. Although quite well imown in Glenwood because of relatives there,
12 still does not possess intimate knowledge of the terrain. Further ground
arch is not recommended because of the snow and bush conditions existing in

area. For these reasons, it is recommended that a low level search using an
—20 or a C-47 might disclose the position of the clexsring. Aerial photoes could
be taken if the clearing is located, and a study or such photcs should aive a
reasonadle explanation for the clearing.

At 12:40 A.M., 25 February 1958, a call was received from Mr, egeiy™
ERR esas Blenwood, Newfoundland, He reported the sighting of a
disc like ooject falling from the sky and on fire,

Later during the day Mr @@gMMMMecalled and stated he had visited
the area where the object had touche landed and found a clearing 1/4 mile
oy 1000 ft, trees freshly broken and uprobted, and snow “im cleared away
in a perfect triangle, The snow was depressed and plowed up at one end, There
were no signs of heat or tracks, He also stated that a Mrs QB and ner
daughter of Glenwood had seen a long, red streak in the sky East of Glenwood
at 12:00, midnight,

Mrs MMMM was not available for interview, but her daughter,

Mics ime: wax questioned concerning their sighting. She described
the object as a red light in the East travelling toward Gander, A check
disclosed the light was seen in the vicinity of the Trans-Canada highway,
There was a snowplow clearing the roads after two days of heavy snowfall,
and it is very possible this is what they saw,

While investigating Mr gD sichting, a call came in from
Flight Officer Duty Controller of the 226th aircraft control and
Warning Squadron, at GAnder, MEX Newfoundland, He and two other men saw
an ooject on their radar scove on a very erratic course, It disanneared
from the scope to the West and they went outside to see if there was
anything in the area, Upon further questioning, Flight Officengyygyiie
revealed that, in his opinion, this object was definitely a bright star which
appeared to change colors due to the atmospheric conditions prevailing

at the time,

At 10:45 A.M., 27 February 1955, a ground party left Glenwood wit

Mr, = locate the clearing he claimed to have found, with no success,

Two oificials of the Bowaters Woods Department, Glenwood, who knew
Mr, ae: >: some time, were interviewed, It was learned that Mr,

qui) has a reputation - ‘to put it mildly - eo, This

is borne out by the fact that during the search, he made several inquiries
as to whether this incident would receive any publicity, Wehn he was
informed that it probably would not, his assurance that he couid find the
clearing again became less vehement,

Further search was not recommended due to the snow and brush
conditions, If the clearing could be located, aerial photos could be
taken and studied,

Because Mr @@QQQ§§Pcannot furnish more details or locate the clear-

ing, this is carried as an unknown, “OorqypsmmndisellliiiUmgi Ieee,
