Clan Lake object, Northwest Territories

Around May 1960 two prospectors at Clan Lake, about 48 km north of Yellowknife, said a hovering object 1.2 to 1.8 m across struck the lake surface.

1960 CE · 62.88, -114.12 · status: account

The account

They reported it to the RCMP on 18 June 1960. Officers searched the lake and shore and found nothing. The report sits in the federal UFO files now held by Library and Archives Canada.

The sceptical view

Only two witnesses, reported weeks later, and a search turned up no debris or marks.
