Reports Continued
What I am doing is writing the reports and sending them out as I go along.
Below is the third report from two witnesses from Quick, British Columbia
over the July 29, 2002 sighting.
Houston, Quick, Telkwa & Smithers - British Columbia.
Report For Quick, British Columbia
Quick, B.C.
Date: July 29, 2002
Time: approx: 10:50 p.m.
Location Information: Quick is a very small farming community which sits
between Houston and Smithers British Columbia. It is nestled in the
Bulkley Valley with mountain ranges running all around.
Today, August 10, 2002 I left my home to interview the next set of
witnesses. The drive was going to take some 40 minutes, so I stopped at
the service station and gassed up and left Houston at 2:00 p.m. heading
west for Quick. I finally arrived and turned off highway #16 onto the
Quick East Road and drove along until I came to the witnesses home. I was
greeted by both the wife and husband, and met their son a bit later. We
walked along a beautiful stone path which led to a large patio where we
sat to discuss what it was they saw.
The two witnesses who had the sighting were Mrs. (wife) and her son
(deleted). The Mom is a retired school teacher and her son works as a
Civil Engineer. Two very creditable witness, also very pleasant people.
What I am going to do here is to name Mrs. or the wife witness number #1
and her son witness number #2. It will help me so I do not goof myself up.
Witness #1 went inside her home and came out with a journal she has been
keeping for years. She writes down events which are important to her and
this one event that took place on July 29, 2002 was one she will never
forget.
Investigators Note: I also have photos of the area where the object was
seen shooting across the sky which I will post to my website once I get
the film developed.
Their farm sits at an elevation of 530 meters and has a wide open view of
the Telkwa Mountain Range and Chicken Mountain which sits slightly lower
and in front of the range. The weather conditions were perfect as the sky
was clear. The sun had already set in the west and Mom (witness) was going
to meet her son who was over near their greenhouse. She walked up the
driveway and turned onto a small dirt path holding her flash light
watching the ground to see where she was walking. This lead to a wide
opening in the field where the greenhouse was situated. Just as she
reached this opening, she heard her son give out a loud yell. She
immediately looked up and went to shine her light towards her son when she
saw, a HUGE, bright, glowing white/yellowish, almost oval in shape object
flying across the sky at a very low level. She said to me, "I couldn't
move, I was in shock". I asked her about the shape of this object, as
everyone else who reported to me said it was round. She said in her
opinion the object was not quite round, but just off, meaning it was
"slightly" oval (even walnut in shape). Or another thing she said, it
would be like if you took a round circle and started to stretch it out.
The color has remained the same from all witnesses who reported the
object. I asked witness #1 for an approximate size for this bright light.
Mom (witness) struggled with this as she did not want to give any wrong
information. Her final conclusion as to the size would be, at arm's length
it was the size of her finger nail, but not across, it would have been
length ways.
I asked where exactly it was
seen. I wanted to know if it was below the horizon of the Telkwa Range. I
was trying to get an idea for distance from the witnesses. Again she was
not sure. You have to remember by the time the sighting took place it was
already dark, and it is hard to see landmarks which would help determine
exactly where the object would have been in relation to them and the
distant mountains.
I looked around, and since I knew the path the object took, I thought I
would try this. In the direction they lost sight of this object, there are
three sets of trees. One group of large trees sat behind their greenhouse
which sat on a ledge. Behind this group of trees there is a drop off,
across from here it rises up again in elevation with another grouping of
trees which rose above the set behind the greenhouse. Another grouping of
timber sat higher up again. So I asked when she lost sighting of "it",
what grouping of trees did the object fall behind? She said the last set
for sure. Now I asked, approximately how high above the last grouping of
trees was the object. Mom (witness) said it was "just" above the timber,
but as they were losing sight of it, the object would have been just a
"hair' below the tops of the trees.
Now this gave me something to work with. The last stand of timber sits
rather high up at a good distance from where they were standing,
approximately 1/2 mile away (maybe more), "but", this stand of timber is
below the horizon of Chicken Mountain. So this object shot down the valley
at approximately 1 1/2 miles away from them. It was also heading in a
southwesterly direction at a quick pace, but slow enough as where the
object took 5 to 6 seconds to cross their line of sight. Investigator
Note: She did not see it right away, her son noticed it first and gave out
a yell. She looked up and spotted it right away because of the intense
brightness and size. My point is, 5 to 6 seconds is a fair bit of time
when they had a short space to see the object due to trees blocking their
view. Being so close to it, I asked what kind of sound did it make, they
both said, none at all. "There was no noise coming from it". It also was
on a slight angle they told me, but very slight. (This makes me wonder if
it did hit the ground, as it was certainly very low at this point, if so
where? Also this gives a lot of weight to folks in the area seeing the
military vehicles and a lot of air traffic overhead).
Witness #1 said she waited around for a little while with her son watching
the sky just in case something else went by, but nothing did so she went
into the house and started calling around to authorities. She called the
Smithers Airport who were no help to her, they knew nothing. She called
the Vancouver International Airport, they knew nothing. She even called
back east to Ottawa and talked with someone in an environment position,
but I am sure they wouldn't know anything anyway. So in the morning
witness #1 called the Smithers Interior newspaper to inform them of what
she saw.
Witness #2 - Son. This is a brief description that he gave to me. I am
just going to summarize his statement as a lot of the same information is
above in this report. It was very large, bright and lasted far longer than
any meteor shower. Faster than a man-made object, but slower than a
meteorite. There was "no" sound! It was below the horizon and moved away
from until we lost sight of it behind the trees. A slight trajectory
towards earth.
I spent a little over two hours with this friendly family and enjoyed this
visit very much. What I found really nice about talking with them. We
talked about the large fossil find, as they had a bunch of wonderful
samples spread across a table outside. Of course I am interested in this
as well. I can say this, our area holds a lot of treasures, and this one
is a major find as the fossils cover a very large area, you can bend down
and walk slowly along and fill a bucket. Everything is in perfect form. It
was like I was standing at the beach and grabbing perfect clams. There are
so many different types of marine life it isn't funny, so I wonder what
other specimens the land holds. There is a good write up on this in one of
the rock hound magazines.
One more report to come, it is a shorter version as it was a telephone
interview. Then a final wrap up on the whole case as it sits for now. I
know there is more to do on this, so I will be still making calls, and
hoping others come forward if they did indeed see this object.
Take good care

I talked with a colleague today at UFO*BC - http://www.ufobc.ca/ and was
told they received a sighting report through their Hotline from Prince
Rupert, British Columbia and there also was a lot of action that way.
Prince Rupert, B.C. is about a five hour drive west of me. So things still
popping up in the north.
