About
A true story! Experience the thrill of a UFO sighting with this THIRD coin in our series
What happens when a UFO witness is an on-duty police officer?
Enhanced with black light-activated technology,our THIRD Unexplained Phenomena coin is a colourful retelling of a famous Canadian UFO event. The 1978 Clarenville Incident is a compelling account that can't be easily dismissed since it involved several witnesses, including an RCMP officer who described a strange sight that has never been satisfactorily explained…
October 26, 1978, 1:45 a.m.: Responding to a call, RCMP Constable James Blackwood arrived at the scene in Clarenville, N.L., where witnesses directed his attention to a brightly lit object in the sky. Using binoculars and a high-powered scope, they observed the fin-tailed, oval-shaped craft as it hovered above the water near Random Island. It emitted no sound; and when the officer flashed the lightbar on his police cruiser, the mysterious craft instantly mimicked the lights. It remained in the area for nearly an hour before rising up suddenly and vanishing into the night, leaving no trace of its passage — except a credible eyewitness account.

The reverse design by Adam Young is an artistic representation of a 1978 UFO event that took place in Clarenville, N.L.

The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
