A festival marking Nova Scotia’s most infamous UFO sighting will continue thanks to anonymous donour. The co-ordinator of the Shag Harbour UFO festival tells CBC the significant donation comes after the festival’s request for 20-thousand-dollars in federal and provincial funding was rejected. The festival commemorates an incident the night of October 4th, 1967 when numerous local residents reported an unidentified flying object crashing into the waters of Shag Harbour. No planes were in the area at the time. A search by local fisherman and the Canadian Coast guard failed to find any debris or evidence of the mysterious crash.
