EspañolSHIRLEYS BAY
(Redirected from Shirley\'s Bay)
'Shirleys Bay' is a bay of the Ottawa River, about ten miles from Ottawa in Ontario, Canada.
It is also the name of a Canadian military and civilian telecommunication research campus which is located on the shore of the bay. Organizations with facilities at the site include DRDC, CRC and the CSA's David Florida Laboratory. In October of 1952, the Canadian government set up the observatory to attempt to measure magnetic or radio noise disturbances.[1]
Main articles: Project Magnet
'Project Magnet' was an unidentified flying object (UFO) study programme established by the Canadian Department of Transport (DOT) on December 2, 1950, under the direction of Wilbert B. Smith, senior radio engineer for the DOT's Broadcst and Measurements Section. It was formally active until mid-1954, and informally until Smith's death in 1962.
The station, Project Magnet, was equipped with radio monitoring equipment, Geiger counters and cameras. It allegedly recorded a suspicious signal on August 8 1954, which some presume was from a UFO. Although no pictures were made because of fog, all further results were declared secret.
