UFO Incident
Shag Harbour is relatively well-known for its 1967 UFO sighting, the Shag Harbour incident.
On October 4, 1967, a strange sight was reported over the skies near the coastal community of Shag Harbour. Several people claimed to have seen lights in the sky, which eventually crashed into the ocean near Shag Harbour. Witnesses indicated to police that a small aircraft had crashed in the harbour.
Yellow bubbles were witnessed frothing in the water by fishermen and rescuers who aided in the search for the UFO.
Several TV documentaries and a book have surfaced in wake of the incident.
