The Shag Harbour incident has been chronicled in books and on television and has captured the imaginations of UFO enthusiasts and others.

The Nickersons says the society hopes to continually add material about the incident to the museum as funds become available. They plan in the near future to commission interpretative panels at the site.

The museum also includes items and information about the history of Shag Harbour.

The Nickersons says there have also been people interested in joining the society. Dues are $5 annually. Members are welcome to participate in meetings and will receive the SHIS newsletter.

The "UFO Musuem" is the place to stop to learn everything about the Shag Harbour UFO sighting. You can view collected memorabilia, watch TV programs about the incident and perhaps even meet a witness.

Visitors are able to also obtain an official Canada Post cancellation stamp, which will be used for any postcards or letters mailed at the "UFO Museum".
