Alleged missiles spotted over Newfoundland
Three long, thin glimmering "bullet-like" objects with tails of fire and smoke were sighted in the sky off the southern coast of Newfoundland on Monday. Resident Darlene Stewart of Harbour Mille, N.L. was snapping photos of the sunset when she saw the first mysterious object; her neighbour Emily Purdy, who viewed it through binoculars, said it looked like "a humungous bullet, silver-grey in colour and it had flames coming out of the bottom and a trail of smoke." The witnesses say the alleged missiles were visible in the air for roughly 15 minutes. Gerry Byrne, the MP for Humber-St. Barbe-Baie Verte, said Thursday, "It’s not making any sense and nobody’s providing any real answers, so questions are mounting." Neither government officials nor the RCMP have confirmed the sightings.
