David Cvet
Speaker's slot: 9:15am
to 10:30 am David Cvet's lecture will present material collected from one or more preliminary dives for the purpose of confirming the existence of a sonar anomalous target as detected by the Navicula scans out of the Bedford Oceanographic Institute in 1988 through a drift/stationary-dive expedition. This will be followed up by another dive expedition off Government Pt at Shelburne. It is hoped that some evidence, whether naturally occurring geologic phenomena or some other phenomena can be identified on the sea bed. The challenge of a dive is the nature of the seabed in the area which is impacted by relatively intense rip currents in the area, and therefore, the conditions will create a distinct challenge in recording the anomaly should it be located. The second preliminary dive off Government Point is to examine the area where the alleged pair of Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) remained submerged for a number of days before exiting the waters and vanishing into space. Chris Styles

In 1995 Styles directed an underwater search for physical evidence that may have remained undetected on the seabed of Shag Harbour. That effort was funded by Paramount Television and resulted in several segments for the syndicated UFO documentary program "Sightings". Chris has also appeared in several US feature documentaries. Chris served as a paid technical advisor with several Canadian UFO feature documentaries such as Ocean Entertainment's "The Shag Harbour Incident" and "Northern Lights", a 2 hour feature production of Roadhouse Films.
