decided to get into the submarine game and purchased three used "Ranger Class" subs from the United Kingdom. The first one, the Onandogan, was brought over to Canada, bound for the Royal Canadian Naval Base in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and due to enter port on October 4 to 5. While still several hundred miles out to sea it was diverted to Shelburne Harbor. Back then only two or three of its crew were Canadian and knew anything about submarines. For the most part the officers and crew were mod British. But a NATO exercise is not the only possible explanation for what happened that night. Barry Crow- ell's wife was sure she remembered hearing about the This made us wonder if the raid could have had something to do with the naval search for the Dark Object. Could these soldiers have been looking for survivors of the crash of a UFO - perhaps nonhuman survivors? We don't know the answer to this question, but more information may turn up later, as we continue to turn over more stones in our ongoing search for documentation about the Dark Object. Another interesting twist to this case has come to our attention recently. A week after the "commando raid," local fisherman Lockland Cameron observed a strange object barely a half mile away from where the Dark Object was reported to have entered the water. On Wednesday evening, October 11, 1967, Lock-land, his wife Lorraine, and their daughter Louella were watching television in the living room of their house in Woods Harbor, Nova Scotia. That night they were entertaining Lockland's brother Havelock, Have-lock's wife Brenda, and their child. Suddenly the TV picture began to wiggle, with a white line down the middle of the screen. Lockland endured this for a few moments, then went to the window to look for an airplane, which in those days was the usual culprit when your TV picture was shaky. The Cameron house had a straight view down the sound. Cameron's attention was drawn to a group of brilliant red-orange lights in the sky, close to the water. He called to the others, and they all hurried outside to get a better view. The six family members stood and watched, fascinated by the lights. First there were six of them, then four, flashing in sequence to the left, then back to the right in reverse order. The object itself was stationary, hovering at an altitude of about five hundred to six hundred feet. They watched the lights for seven to eight minutes, until they suddenly went out. Shortly afterward they reappeared in a slightly different area, but this time they pointed downward at an angle of about thirty-five degrees. The family continued to watch the object until it vanished over Tusket Island. Moments later they saw the lights again, only this time there appeared to be two objects, speeding rapidly over the Gulf of Maine toward the United States. Lockland went inside and called the RCMP. Because the first lights he'd seen were so close to the surface of the water, he thought that the first object they'd seen might have come up out of the water, and he thought the Mounties might be interested.
