The 519 Podcast presents Unraveling a Conspiracy: The 1966 UFO Sighting in Sarnia

In 1966, then 12-year-old Rob Freeman saw the unthinkable, a UFO. While he was initially laughed at when he told friends and family, he was validated the next day by the Sarnia Observer.

“It’s a Balloon… It’s a Meteor…. No, it’s a UFO!” was the headline for a story that included roughly 200 other witnesses being referenced in the article. 

That night helped shape Rob's life.  More than five decades after the sighting, he's spent the last eight years adventuring with partner Mark McNabb in UFO exploration.

On this episode of the 519 Podcast we talk with Rob and Mark and examine the question: What really happened in the skies of Sarnia on March 28, 1966?
