"No." in?" Chris asked. "T don't know." "I think he did, according to some of the press clippings," Chris said, "because he was the one who reported the whistling sound." said. Chris went to our car to get a copy of the old National Enquirer report that Dave had never seen. In the meantime Dave explained that he'd thought the lights were some low-flying aircraft that was being 1 tested nearby. Chris returned with the National Enquirer article and showed it to him. "You didn't tell the reporters you saw a UFO?" Chris asked. "That's one of the things that makes this case so interesting. Most people call up and say they saw a UFO, but here, it was the RCMP and the air force that were saying that. Civilians, like yourself, thought they were looking at a crashed airplane." "Even Laurie reported an airplane had crashed into the water, and a couple of others did as well," I said. "So they weren't even trying to report a UFO." We spent a little more time getting the direction of the UFO's path straight in our minds, and had Dave draw us a picture of the line of lights he had seen and their apparent angle of descent. We wanted to be absolutely sure that this was the object that was seen diving toward the sound adjacent to Shag Harbor. Norm arrived within ten minutes of being called. He lived just a short distance up the road on Highway 3. We brought him into the picture and told him about Dave's impression of the UFO's direction of movement and angle of descent. "We were just wondering if there was anything you might have seen that Dave didn't. He says he saw the object for about five or ten seconds. You were coming up through Bear Point, or past Bear Point, and Dave said it was off to the right, heading away from you." "From what I can remember," Norm said, "the lights were more straight ahead of us when we came around that turn, and they were right over the top of the tree line. They were on an angle going down like this." Norm slanted his hand down at a forty-five-degree angle toward the table. "And they were 1 fot tan I pointed to Dave's map. "If you were coming in this direction here, the lights were going that way?" - indicating a southeastern direction. Dave agreed that was the case. day when I went to work." "So you never called Barrington Passage Mounted Police?" "I know Laurie Wickens was the first one to call, and they had several other calls. Did Norm Smith call Dave agreed. "I had people from the Chronicle Herald and the Enquirer talk to me about it later," he going down to the left." "Were they flashing in sequence at that time?" Chris asked.
