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.
