Newfoundland: Canadian Armed Forces Pilot Paced by Green Pulsating Triangle
Canadian Armed Forces pilot John Breen reports being paced by a green, pulsating, triangular object over Newfoundland. Air traffic control radar briefly picked up a target for two sweeps, and the object's reflection was visible in the water below.
Background
1. On October 10, 1974, a Canadian Armed Forces pilot, John Breen, reported an encounter with a green, pulsating, triangular object while flying over Newfoundland. The object paced his aircraft; air traffic control radar briefly picked up a target for two sweeps, and its reflection was visible in the water below.
The Incident
Canadian Armed Forces pilot John Breen encountered a green, pulsating, triangular object while flying over Newfoundland. The object kept pace with his aircraft during the encounter. Air traffic control radar picked up a target for only two sweeps, and a reflection of the object was observed in the water beneath.
Investigation
Dolan's account does not provide information about an official investigation into the 1974 Newfoundland incident involving John Breen.
Significance
The encounter adds to the collection of military personnel reporting unusual aerial phenomena. The object's triangular shape and pulsating light are characteristics often associated with unidentified aerial objects. The brief radar return, coupled with the visual confirmation and water reflection, presents a potentially anomalous event.
