A Newfoundland police constable, his wife, and two other witnesses observed round-shaped objects flying at high speed and a separate jellyfish-like object with phosphorus glow over Grand Falls on July 9, 1947.
“Jackman said that four round shaped figures had passed overhead at a terrific speed and were flying side by side. On looking skywards again my wife, Jackman, and myself, saw a object which I would describe as being a huge jelly-fish flash across the sky. It would be difficult to determine its height and speed owing to the brief period it was visible. it's colour also would be hard to say, but there seemed to be a phosphorus glow about it, it was round in shape and about the size of a barrel head, it appeared to be flying in a rocking motion.”
