Four divers began a search of the relatively shallow waters of the sound in an area suspected to be the impact point of the mysterious and elusive object of the evening of October 4. By this time the RCMP, RCC, and the Air Desk in Ottawa had, by the process of elimination, tagged it as a UFO. The bottom of the sound was sandy and surprisingly uncluttered. The divers found that the visibility was about twenty feet, which isn't bad for diving in maritime waters. Unlike those down south, these waters are not populated by multicolored fish and eye-catching coral. Kelp beds and huge clumps of seaweed are common on the bottom. The current in the sound was strong, often running at four or five knots, with the tide making it difficult for the divers to search properly. It was extremely tiring as well. The strongest of divers in light scuba gear can usually travel at the speed of only one knot, even while wearing flippers. Fighting four-knot currents must have been exhausting. The divers began their initial dives from the deck of Coast Guard Cutter 101, but after some time switched to the more spacious rear deck of Bradford Shand's Cape Island boat, the Joan Priscilla. They searched for most of Friday the sixth with little success, at least none that was reported. Some of the local fishermen watched from their own vessels and at least one, Donald Nickerson, reported seeing the divers bringing up debris from the bottom. He describes it as being aluminum colored, but nothing officially indicates that this was the case. Mr. Nickerson said his impression was that the divers did not want them there and were reluctant to talk with them. Milton Crowell, an engineer with Nova Scotia Light and Power, was on vacation with his family, driving around the shores of Nova Scotia after returning from a long trip to central Canada. While driving nearby, he had been getting news on his car radio about some mysterious object falling into Shag Harbor. He heard that the Coast Guard and the RCMP were searching the waters to determine what the object might have been. Since he was in the area, he made it a point to keep an eye open for what might turn out to be an interesting diversion. Eventually the Crowells arrived in the area and found themselves on Highway 3 about midway between Woods Harbor and Shag Harbor, near the Irish Moss plant. Seeing several cars and a police cruiser parked there, Milton guessed that this was most likely the area in question. He pulled onto the gravel and parked. He and his son got out of the station wagon and walked over to the shore to watch a small duty boat as it patrolled the waters of the sound. They were both eating ice cream that Milton had bought a few minutes earlier. With his son in tow Milton decided to go right down to the shoreline, so the two of them scrambled over large rocks to get to the water's edge. Once there, he decided to talk with some of the RCMP officers who were combing the shore for anything of interest. He approached them and asked what the divers and the boat hoped to find. Milton was stunned by the candor of the officers' answer. He asked them if they were serious. Indeed they were, the Mounties informed him. Something unknown, classified as a UFO, had crashed into these waters and three of their fellow officers had seen it floating out on the sound. "Flying saucers," was their reply. Milton thanked them and left them to their search, while he continued up the shoreline. His son asked
