Report from Crystal 1, Fort Chimo, Quebec, states that on 19 Feb 1949 at about 1840 hours, a sound appearing to be slow running aircraft engines was heard from a general southwesterly direction from the Base at a very high altitude. The sound remained within hearing distance for about 15 to 20 minutes, during which no objects or lights were observed. Check has been made to establish the fact that there were no Canadian or USAF planes from Goose Bay in the vicinity at that time. Written report will follow.
