He reported t.ne sishting of a disc li~<e object falling f::-cm the s's:-J and on f i r e . Later during the day Mr. the area where the object had touchet landed and found a clearing 1/ 4 mile by 1000 ft, trees freshly broken and upro~ted, and snov~cleared away in a perfect triangle. The snov "was depressed and plowed up at one end. There signs of heat or tracks. He also stated that a Mrs. daughter of Glenwood had seen a l ong, red streak in the sky East of Gle:J.vood at 12: ro m.idn j ght. Mrs vas not available for interview, but her daughter, was questio~ed concerning their sighting. She described the object as a red light in the East travelling toward Gander. A check disclosed t he light was seen in the vicinity of the Trans- Canada high~.~ay. There was a sno-wplow clearing the roails a:fter two days of heavy snowfall, and i t is very possibl e this is what they saw. While investigating Mr sighting, a call came in from Duty Controller of the 226th aircraft control and T..Ta....-ning Squadron, at GAnder, XXX NevfounCJ.and. He and two other men saw an object on their radar scone on a very erratic course. It disanneared from the SCO})e to the T..Test and they vent outside to see if there was anyth.ing in the area. Upon further questioning, Flight Office revealed that, in his opinion, this object vas definitely a bri6ht star 'Whicil a?peared to change colors due to the atmospheric conditions prevaili:J.g a t the time. At 10:45 A. M., 27 Fcb~-y 1958, a ground party left Gle~wocd With to locate the clearing h e cla~ed to have found , ,Jith no success. Two officials of the Bowaters' Woods Department, Glenwood, who knew some time, were interviewed. It was learned that Mr. has a reputation -"to put it mildly - is borne out by the fact that during the search, h e made several inquiries as to whether this incident would receive any publicity. Wehn he vas infonned that it probably would not, his assurance that he could find the clearing again became less vehement. Further search was not r econunended due t o the snow and brush conditions. If the clearing could be located, aerial photos could be taken and studied.
