Below is one of 17 UFO sightings reported to us by Brian Reinhardt. If you would like
to read his other 16 sighting reports, they are posted throughout the history section by
year, or altogether
on one page. We felt this is important since part of the UFO puzzle is answering the
question: why certain people have so many sightings while others never see anything
peculiar in their entire lifetime?

1966 - My girlfriend Leigh and I had been out for a ride on my motorcycle and on the way
home were north bound on Highway 99. We had just come out of the tunnel when I happened to
notice a large yellowish rectangle hanging in the air above UBC, which would put it just
north of the airport. At first I thought it must be some sort of reflection on my helmet
visor but after shaking my head back and forth and lifting the visor, it was still there.
I pointed it out to my girlfriend and she confirmed that she also could see it. We
continued to keep glancing at it all the way across Richmond and I had hopes of getting
home and taking a better look through binoculars but just as we approached the south end
of the Oak St. bridge we could see what appeared to be the shadows of people moving about
inside and the opening suddenly began to close, it was just like a door had swung shut and
then it was gone. We both had the impression that we were looking through a doorway into
some sort of large room but whatever we were looking at was completely invisible from the
outside. What ever the door belonged to must have been huge, as we were probably 10 miles
away when I first saw it. I would estimate the opening to be somewhere between 50 to 100
ft. in height, by comparing it to the size of the trees below it. I doubt that it was more
than 500 ft. in altitude. The weather was clear and sunny and it was approx. 18:00 hrs.
