WTF Newfoundland UFO's
by C. L. Cook
Canadian defence minister, Peter MacKay has taken the sighting of an unidentified missile-like object seen over Harbour Mille to again display his government's complete disregard for the safety concerns of the citizenry he is sworn to serve. This image was captured near Harbour Mille, N.L., by resident Darlene Stewart on Jan. 25.
According to state broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC), when asked by citizens and the press what the object was and if it or others pose a danger to residents, MacKay laughed off their concern, saying;
"We [the Canadian government] will provide money to build a landing strip for UFOs at Harbour
Mille."
The waggish MacKay then assured, "No, I'm only kidding. I'm joking. That's a joke."
Still not funny to witnesses of the overflight is just what is going on over their towns, and again concerning public safety, is it a matter of military testing, which has proven highly controversial in the Maritimes in the past, or was it an accidental launch?
All kidding aside, MacKay reassured his ministry has "checked with foreign countries" and says there is "no cause for panic."
Weighing in on the mystery, the prime minister's office (PMO) opined what was seen was likely a "model plane flier," a spokesperson from the PMO suggesting people from Labrador and Newfoundland enjoy launching model rockets.
Model enthusiast, Ed Welsh a model plane buff from Swift Current is quoted by the CBC saying he doubts anyone would take a model rocket out to sea to launch. Looking at the photograph of the object, Welsh said the flame and smoke emanating from the rocket was too intense to have come from a "model."
Meanwhile, neither the RCMP or ministry of public safety have commented or offered an explanation for the overflight.

I beleve that all test firings must be declared to the world before the test!! If this is a French subroc test, this is a gross violation of protocol....The area involved does not make much sense if this is a supposed to be a quiet test of a missile system............Something is "fishy"!

It's a joke: or American propaganda to put the shit in connection with the sea lanes. because yes, this news has toured Canada and more in the United States media but in Quebec, no media has talked about this new, nothing, why ? Why Canada, military or NORAD says nothing about the subject, perhaps, who know nothing. Everyone has seen these missiles in Newfoundland in their ascent, but they are gone, nobody have saw finished their way, Nobody have saw their end ? It's mysterious like a canular. http://gt418.wordpress.com/

Dear Sirs: I just found out about your sightings of three ” rockets ” above Newfoundland some time ago. It happens that I myself have spent much time investigating this kind of phenomenon here i Finland.
Already many years ago I started to call his phenomenon “ The December Phenomenon “ because it gets attention in the press almost always in December or near December ( November- January ). Like this time.
It is the sunshine from the low Sun in the Northern hemisphere striking the jettrail from planes and colouring them bright yellow and even red sometimes. During my investigations I have found many examples of this phenomenon.
Please see for instance the cover of my own book “ Outoja kohteita Suomen taivaalla “ ( enclosed ) showing a still picture from the year 2005 ( video mentioned down ).
I enclose links to two videos from Finland which were aired in the Finnish News:
Video from 2003 ( The Siltala video ).

This is an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, a plasma phenomena normally referred to as a 'Ghost Rocket' and that is why the Defence minister can crack jokes, because he knows they are NO THREAT!
[Did MacKay know that when he made his remarks? If he did, why not share the news with the rest of us? The point here is not what Peter knew and when, but more the attitude he adopts towards the press, and by extension, the Canadian polity. It is the same sneering disregard made so elegantly apparent by Peter Mackay's boss in December via the premature preroguing of parliament. -ed.]
