Summary

We examine the case of a F-94 Starfire crew who encountered a strange light near Goose Bay in May 1953, one which left them standing as it rapidly avoided their attempts to intercept it. Another - possibly the same object - was observed some hours later by the crew of a Maritime Central Airways airliner 130 miles south-west of Goose Bay.
