Three strange objects were seen in the sky
near Prince George, British Columbia, on Tuesday evening, January 8 [1957]. This is the
second time that flying saucers have been seen here in less than a month.
Pat Patterson, President of the Prince
George Flying Saucer Club, reported that one of the objects, yellowish in colour, was seen
due north of the city. The other, a bright orange, was observed almost due east and low on
the horizon.
He said that seven other persons in addition
to himself watched the lights for a period of about ten minutes before they disappeared
over the horizon at about 5:30 pm.
"The strange thing about them,"
said Patterson, " was that the brilliance thrown off them was from the top and bottom
of the lights. There appeared to be no brilliance cast from the sides."
Patterson, who organized the Flying Saucer
Club in the city recently, said he watched the objects through powerful binoculars, but
was unable to identify by what means they were propelled.
Less than a month before, a bright orange
saucer was seen in the sky close to the horizon.
Patterson reported the objects seen on
January 8 to the United States Air Force radar base at Mt. Baldy Hughes.
