Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle such that BAC=60\measuredangle BAC = 60^{\circ}. Let DD and EE be the feet of the perpendicular from AA to the bisectors of the external angles of BB and CC in triangle ABCABC, respectively. Let OO be the circumcenter of the triangle ABCABC. Prove that circumcircle of the triangle BOCBOC has exactly one point in common with the circumcircle of ADEADE.
