A dog exploring Shag Harbour

The dog-friendly guide to

Shag Harbour

Canada's UFO crash capital.

Field notes August 2026

Our creepy-foggy visit to the Shag Harbour UFO Landing Site, a little park dedicated to a supposed 1967 UFO crash.

Shag Harbour is a small fishing village best known for a supposed UFO crash in the water just offshore in 1967, an event the village celebrates with a roadside park.

With the fog rolling in on our visit, this rather strange little site — complete with an alien lobster statue and a UFO-painted kiosk — felt properly creepy.
