A couple spotted a UFO in the
Canadian province of Nova Scotia on Thursday, August 21. But the military came
forward to claim responsibility for the bright aerial object.
Witness Chris Ewing and his
girlfriend were near Saint Margarets Bay on the night of Aug. 21 when they
noticed an extremely bright object in the sky, seemingly over Peggy’s Cove, a
village on the eastern side of the bay. The startled witnesses watched as this
mysterious orange object rapidly grew in size as it hovered in the sky.
The silent object left the
witnesses unsettled and confused.
Although some suggested that this
UFO might be related to the Perseid meteor shower (which mostly concluded in
mid-August), the military claims it was responsible for the light in the sky
that night.

CTV reports that Canadian Forces
Base Greenwood, a Royal Canadian Air Force Base, confirmed that search and
rescue crews were performing exercises at Peggy’s Cove between 9:00 and 10:30
p.m. on the night the object was observed by Ewing and his girlfriend. The base
explained to CTV that “those exercises included the use of long-lasting
military flares.”
