The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

The document is attached to this entry.

What is not settled

Single witness, no corroboration. RCMP and RCAF stated they had no definitive explanation. Radioactive fragments found later at the site are widely suspected of contamination or planting.
