The unidentified flying objects spotted in January off Newfoundland remain a mystery to the government, despite extensive scrutiny, according to Department of National Defence (DND) documents obtained by CBC News.
The documents contain grainy images of a rocket with a long, fiery tail soaring skyward. The reports rule out missiles and model rockets, but don't suggest what the images might show.
Military experts discredit the possibility of ballistic and cruise missiles. DND's Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DSTI) assessed the images and reported: "The object is not a ballistic missile, not a cruise missile in boost phase nor a cruise missile in-flight phase. It is also not a licensed model rocket launcher."
The Jan. 25 sighting happened on the southern coast of Newfoundland near Harbour Mille. Several residents reported seeing the objects, including a woman who was able to photograph one of them. She reported to the RCMP that she had seen three missiles soaring over the ocean and it looked as if they had come up out of the water.
The DSTI says in the documents that the only missiles that can be launched from a submarine are ballistic or cruise missiles, but the country's top arms experts say the object photographed doesn't fit that profile.
"There are no distinguishing features on the object to use for identification … the shape of the flame is atypical of a missile launch," and "the length of the flame is greater than that of the rocket body. This eliminates the possibility that it is a cruise missile jet engine exhaust," said DSTI.

I read this article, and I started to think of what the possibilities could be of what these mysterious UFOs could really be, and who may be behind this mystery if they weren’t actual UFOs. When many organizations have claimed that the UFO like objects seem irregular, it couldn’t be identified as anything, and that it could have not been a rocket either, this makes me wonder with a big question mark. Is this really a UFO or could it be something else? I came up with assumptions that this might be just an experiment done by young teenagers who are trying to build their own flying objects, or it could just be a prank so that they can have the fun, watching their inventions making it to the front pages of the newspaper, stating that people claim to see UFOs when they really weren’t. But then again, what if there is extraterrestrial life? What if no one was really behind this? Probably these unidentified flying objects may be the answer.
