PEMBROKE (CP) - Two police constables and several other persons reported sighting an unidentified flying object near here early Saturday.
"It was just like a large star . . . no body, no form, just a light about 1,500 feet in the sky," said Constable Jack McKay of the Pembroke OPP detachment.
The object was described as a "cylindrical-shaped brilliant light in the sky over Petawawa," a town 10 miles north of Pembroke. Constable McKay, his patrol partner Constable Grant Chaplin, and several others, including three military policemen at the nearby Canadian forces base, reported seeing the phenomenon at about 5 a.m. Saturday.
The Canadian forces radar station at North Bay reported Sunday it is checking the incident.
