Directory Francis Ridge: Martin Shough has a very comprehensive report on this case which Jean gave me a heads-up on and I have linked the site below. The NICAP UFO Evidence lists this case as taking place on June 30th, which is in error. Originally referred to in the early literature as the BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) case, it was described on page 134 as, "Near Goose Bay, Labrador, Airliner crew saw large UFO with satellite objects. [X]" My first contact with this incident, I'm sure, was one of Donald Keyhoes' books, but I was unable to locate it. When I DID locate the case summary it was Timothy Good's ABOVE TOP SECRET, and he provided a better version since the original came from the press and there were some errors, including the date. In any case, here is the file. Below is the original press interview from YouTube. Brad Sparks: Very simply: Sunset shadow illumination of a mass migration of birds or of a distant mirage of a cloud might have caused the sighting but each theory has various difficulties. I prefer the flocking birds, Martin prefers the cloud mirage. The object was an amorphous, shape-changing blob with six little blobs aligned on the horizon nearby, not a metallic disc. This is not a good Unknown.
