Black Tickle, Labrador: Nurse and students see two red-orange lights, tundra fires nearby
At 4:00 p.m. on 13 November 1978, British nurse Elizabeth McKibben and several students at Black Tickle, Labrador, watched a red-orange light hang over houses for 30 minutes before a second light joined it and both descended; tundra fires had broken out nearby shortly before.
Background
At 4:00 p.m. Elizabeth McKibben, a British nurse at the Inuit settlement of Black Tickle, Labrador, saw a red-orange light to the west hanging motionless about 1,000 feet above some houses for 30 minutes. A second light suddenly appeared and moved underneath the first, and both began a slow descent and disappeared. Several young students also saw the object and made drawings of it. About 3 hours before the sighting a fire had broken out on the tundra 2 miles to the west, apparently caused by 'fireballs' hitting the ground, and teacher Stephen MacDonald went to help put out the patchy fires at Martins Pond. David A. Haisell reported the case in Journal UFO in 1979, and the International UFO Reporter discussed it as a possible trace case. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
