About 11:45 p.m., a man and his wife went
outside to get wood to put into the stove and saw a large light of some sort (about 200
yards away). It was basically the shape of the moon, but it was too large. It shot a beam
of light directly towards the house, but had darkness everywhere else. The couple could
see smoke, or fog-like stuff, that was blue in colour. They could also see a flashing
light that looked like a street light, yellow in colour.
The RCMP examined the area and only found a
tree knocked over in the area where the light may have been coming from. The tree did not
have any snow on it.
