What Canada actually broadcast

The pattern across 25 years of CBC coverage. Shag Harbour is the national reference point: the calls, the RCMP response, the divers, the foam. What the coverage almost never gives you is the 6 October 1967 National Defence memo stating the sighting was not aircraft, flares, floats or any other known object, and what a later memo from the same colonel meant by calling it an unidentified flying object.

The 1983 Falcon Lake segment is a different register. A researcher on a talk show describing an industrial mechanic's burns, sixteen years after the fact, with no documents in frame. It is the most-viewed Falcon Lake artefact in the CBC archive and one of the thinnest.

Advocacy versus reporting. The last card in the video grid argues the case for a crash at Shag Harbour. It is included because it is a good example of the genre: a confident conclusion, an unverified premise. Every file it cites is a real government memo; the reading of them is the author's.
