UFO*BC Note: We received the following report in the spring of 2005
Excuse me for
saying this, but this is the first time that I have put this into writing. I am now 52
years old and have, since this experience, spent a considerable amount of time researching
and investigating sightings on my own.
It was a cool clear sky. I had just left a local
dance with my girlfriend and another couple. As most young teenagers do, we decided to go
up to a local lover's lane and do some parking. This property, a farm, was owned by my
girlfriend's parents and where we would go is located at the top of a hill
with a large tower painted with bright Red and White stripes and has identification blinking lights at
the top for airplanes. Because we knew the area well and it was a good place for locals to
come, I decided to follow the tractor path and followed the rock walls until I had gone
through a number of pastures and I parked the car. I turned off all power (radio, lights,
engine etc.) From this vantage point we were able to see the entire sky and all of the
surrounding towns including the local small airport with its blue and red lights.
It was cool and we closed the windows and were
there for what felt like an hour when Fred mentioned that a police cruiser was coming up
from down below from the opposite direction. We said that that was crazy because it was
impossible to come up the hill from that direction. I started the car to turn around and
the car died and the lights dimmed. The blue light from down below seemed to be stopped
and pulsating. I got out of the car with my friend and opened the hood and had my girl
friend try to start it. Dead and the lights were dead now. At this point the blue lights
started to rise from below and now we could clearly see that the lights were rising
through the trees from about a quarter mile away, about 2 pastures over. The lights at
this time started to go dim then bright and finally the car started and the lights came on
bright. We jumped back in the car and moved as quickly as we could to the back road and
made our way down to the bottom of the hill where her parents lived.
We jumped out of the car and as we were all
standing together this large cigar-shaped object rose above the tree line and hovered. My
girlfriends father told his wife to go in and call the police. (The police station
is probably about 5 minutes away if a patrol car is not closer to give you a sense of
time). We watched as this object pulsated from a bright gas flame blue to a bright
yellowish blue. Finally the patrol car arrived with the light on top lit. At this point
the patrol car is coming from our left to the main road, the opposite of where we had come
from in the back on the opposite side of the barn.
The object then rose higher and came toward us
and passed over the patrol car at about a level of 100 feet forcing the patrol car to the
side of the road and to stop. The object then flew from our left which would be west and
across the corn fields until it stopped near the end of the local airport runway where it
stopped and then changed directions and went what appeared to be straight up until it
became a faint light and disappeared.
We all went into the house. The girls were
crying and the patrolman was shaken up as well as we all were. He called the station and
within minutes we received a call back and were told to stay at the house until
investigators arrived. The time was now about 1:15 am. At about 2:00 am men from what I
believe was Peace Airforce Base arrived and they took Fred, my girl friend's father, and
myself and asked us to take them back to the spot. We searched for a considerable time
before actually finding the location, which was even further away from us than we first
realized. The military men moved in quickly and after a short while we were taken back to
the house. We were separated and asked to tell our story. We found out they did the same
thing with the girls. Our parents were also there at this time and we finally were taken
home around 4:00 am. The next day, we were all interviewed again and separately. We were
told that what had happened was very important and that we were to make sure that this
remained a total secret and that we would be held accountable to our actions.
The above is a true account of what happened
about 36 years ago. I am sure there is more and if asked questions I could probably
remember more. One last thing, there was never any mention of any of this
in any of the
papers other than a few quips about strange lights seen in the sky!
