PLOT SUMMARY

A look at the facts surrounding the alledged crash of a UFO into the waters of Shag harbour in Nova Scotia in 1967 and the subsequent investigation into the mystery.

CAPSULE REVIEW

A strangely compelling UFO documentary that seems to be going to great lengths to distance itself from the usual crackpot theories and actually just seems intent on presenting the facts. The irritating music (particularly that monotonous drum...) get in the way but this is more interesting and way less sensational than many of its ilk.
