Near RCAF station at Torbay (now the international airport St. John's) was seen "disappearing object in the ocean surf". 22 Jun 1955 in sea was seen an object, reported to base. There were no confirming witnesses.

An investigation revealed that at that time the area was not American, canadian or British submarines. In other words, it was an official report about USO (Unidentified submerged Object).

Still plugging away at the National Archives' collection of Canadian UFO docs, I came across this curiosity. It stood alone, without any additional accompanying information.

It seems that something described only as a "disappearing object on ocean surf" was seen near the RCAF Station at Torbay (now the St. John's International Airport).

Only 12 years later, the infamous Shag Harbour UFO would plunge into the ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia, resulting in the Canadian Navy's underwater search for an unidentified object.
