In the winter of 1930, a trapper arrived at an Inuit settlement along the remote shores of Lake Anjikuni—and found a village caught in a moment that felt impossibly wrong. Fires still smoldered.

We walk through the first reports, the panicked headlines, the rumors of strange lights in the sky, and the modern skepticism that questions whether the event ever truly happened at all.
