Newfoundland UFO Made Into Joke By Government Officials

A photograph taken by Darlene Stewart that shows what appears to be a missile-like object with flames was taken on Monday January 25th 2010 in Harbour Mille Newfoundland.

Witnesses say that the object appeared to have originated from the water, and that there appeared to be at least two other objects sighted as well. It was reported that the RCMP initially stated that the object was a French missile, but have since retracted that statement. Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) have made no official statement at this time frustrating at least one local MP who is concerned for the safety of area residents.

And how does the Canadian government react (those elected to serve Canadian citizens including the witnesses to these objects in Newfoundland)?

Here is a news snippet:

Harbour Mille, Newfoundland - Newfoundlanders on Burin Penninsula are shaking their heads over the pronouncement from the Prime Minister's OfficeThursday, asking why a hobbyist would go to sea to launch a model rocket. Defense Minister Peter MacKay waded into the mystery by saying Friday

"We will provide money to build a landing strip for UFOs at Harbour Mille. No, I'm only kidding. I'm joking. That's a joke."

Eye witness Emmy Pardy spoke to Canadian Press on Friday, panning the model rocket theory proffered by the Prime Minister's Press Secretary.

"Yeah right - I don't believe that for one minute. It was no model rocket.... You don't even have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out."

Pardy also told Canadian Press that she thought the federal government is covering up the truth.

"To me it sounds like they know what happened and somebody's trying to cover something up. Somebody made a blunder somewhere."

And there is more:

Peter Mackay was not the only Conservative having a bit of fun with the UFO sighting. The Globe & Mail's Jane Taber reported that the joke in Ottawa Friday morning was “No it wasn’t Danny going off." The joke refers to Newfoundland Premier, Danny Williams, as well as the UFOs. Taber did not name the jokster, only identifying him or her as a 'Tory strategist.'

I find the above insulting. The people who witnessed this deserve better, than this type of run around, and stupid jokes. How would you feel if you were these witnesses?

At least they did something during prorogation :p
