     Passando dagli USA al Canada, alle 17.15 del 30 ottobre 1965, un oggetto volante di color alluminio scese sul letto del fiume St. Maurice (nella provincia francofona del Quebec) emettendo posteriormente una scia luminosa. Descritto come estremamente simile ad una “imbarcazione rovesciata” del diametro di circa 8 metri, l’UFO rimase dapprima a fior d’acqua alla presenza di vari testimoni, quindi si inabissò conferendo al centro della massa fluviale una colorazione profondamente scura. Secondo i testimoni oculari, in superficie la corrente si sarebbe arrestata e poi addirittura, per qualche tempo, come inspiegabilmente invertita.

 

     Moving from the USA to Canada, at 17:15 on 30 October 1965, an aluminum-colored flying object came down on the bed of the river St. Maurice (in the French-speaking province of Quebec) after emitting a luminous trail. Described as extremely similar to a “boat upside down” with a diameter of about 8 meters [26 feet], the UFO was first on the surface of the water in the presence of several witnesses, and then sank, giving the center of the river mass a deep dark color. According to eyewitnesses, the surface the current would stop, and then even, for some time, inexplicably reverse direction.
