UFO Sighting Report — Doctors Cove, Nova Scotia, 17 March 1965

This document collection details a UFO sighting reported on March 17, 1965, in Doctors Cove, Nova Scotia. The primary witnesses, a Mr. and Mrs. [illegible], observed multiple objects in the sky. The initial report, transmitted via a CIRVIS message, described a bright white light that appeared from the south, heading slightly west of north. As the object passed overhead, the witnesses noted a trail of sparks of various colors and a possible trail of grey smoke. The observers reported that the object made no noise and traveled faster than an aircraft, with the entire sighting lasting between two and three minutes. The Foreign Technology Division (FTD) of the Air Force Systems Command initially found the report insufficient for evaluation and requested further documentation. Subsequent correspondence between the Project Blue Book Information Office and NASA indicates that the sighting was eventually attributed to the decay of the satellite Cosmos 57 as it re-entered the atmosphere.
