Newfoundland UFOs still a mystery

Residents of Harbour Mille, N.L., reported seeing three  missile-like UFOs fly near their community on the night of Jan. 25,  2010, including this one photographed.The unidentified flying objects spotted in January off Newfoundland remain a mystery to the government, despite extensive scrutiny, according to Department of National Defence (DND) documents obtained by CBC News.

The documents contain grainy images of a rocket with a long, fiery tail soaring skyward. The reports rule out missiles and model rockets, but don't suggest what the images might show.

Military experts discredit the possibility of ballistic and cruise missiles. DND's Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DSTI) assessed the images and reported: "The object is not a ballistic missile, not a cruise missile in boost phase nor a cruise missile in-flight phase. It is also not a licensed model rocket launcher."

The Jan. 25 sighting happened on the southern coast of Newfoundland near Harbour Mille. Several residents reported seeing the objects, including a woman who was able to photograph one of them. She reported to the RCMP that she had seen three missiles soaring over the ocean and it looked as if they had come up out of the water.

The DSTI says in the documents that the only missiles that can be launched from a submarine are ballistic or cruise missiles, but the country's top arms experts say the object photographed doesn't fit that profile.

"There are no distinguishing features on the object to use for identification … the shape of the flame is atypical of a missile launch," and "the length of the flame is greater than that of the rocket body. This eliminates the possibility that it is a cruise missile jet engine exhaust," said DSTI. ...

I saw a series of photos awhile back of something very similar on webshots. The object had two very long tails of fire in a V pattern that were way larger than the object itself . It appeared to be pretty large and was seen for a few minutes . The fuel expended seemed impossible . The person who photographed it never released the images to any news agency as far as I know . I told her she should . The images were fairly clear and were some of the most definite images of a UFO I've ever seen . And I'm a huge sceptic and experienced at image alterations. I'm a pro artist so I do that kind of work all the time .I'm also somewhat familiar with propulsion systems .I know of no fuel able to burn that long with that long of fire trail . Dwarfing the object so much that the object itself was not visible .Unlike this photo here that shows more of a smoke like tail . The other was pure hot flame about 5 times longer in tail . And no cigar like shape seen. These images were in broad daylight with at least a few witnesses . I'm not sure where the photos were taken though .
